Reviews

In sum, this volume, with its excellent typography, highlights the extent to which Ind. changes our perception of Galen and his works: it both bridges gaps in previous research and raises new questions that make it abundantly clear there is much more work to be done. - Monica Duran Manas, in: Bryn Mawr Classical Review, 2020.04.11.
