An important milestone in the history of both ancient medicine and ancient philosophy. --Times Literary Supplement<br> Where the medical context can guide us to new understandings of Aslepiades, Vallance points the way. Bryn Mawr Classical Review<br>

`Vallance introduces this careful investigation into the theory of Asclepiades of Bithynia as `a philosophical detective story'. Like all the best works of that genre, it is very tightly argued, but written with a light touch.' The Classical Review `Where the medical context can guide us to new understandings of Asclepiades, Vallance points the way.' Bryn Mawr Classical Review `Every generation of classical scholars that passes adds a growing list of interpretations to the finite body of primary material. Vallance is no exception: although he does his best to ease the burden with a light touch in his use of English, he does not shirk the details. His book becomes another that must be read on the topic of the relationship between Greek medicine and Greek philosophy.' Times Higher Education Supplement `an important milestone in the history of both ancient medicine and ancient philosophy.' John Scarborough, Times Literary Supplement
