Omschrijving
This work includes collected, edited, and translated surviving testimonials concerning one of the most influential "schools" or doctrines of medicine in late antiquity - Methodism. The fragments are accompanied by a textual apparatus, and a running commentary.
"…great value of Tecusan's work … this collection and translation of their fragments will certainly be the foundation on which all future research on this topic will be based … should be on the bookshelf of anybody with an interest in Greek medicine." – Peter E. Pormann, in: Bull. Hist.Med., 2005 "Once again Brill’s series on Ancient Medicine offers us a valuable new work … The benefits of such a work are very clear: there was no Methodist collection before and Tecusan’s will undoubtedly be the standard edition of the remaining evidence of Methodism for a long time to come. It will be the basis of any future research in this field, as a wide variety of scholars, classicists, philosophers and medical historians, now have at their disposal the necessary materials. Anyone interested in ancient medicine in general will eagerly await the next two volumes." – Pilar Pérez Cañizares, in: BMCR, 2005
