| Summary: | The aim of this book is to take stock of the state of things in scholarship on Caelius Aurelianus as well as offer new perspectives on this important figure; while doing that, to insert him and his work within current historiographies of medicine and ancient world studies. Thirty years after the last extensive publication devoted to Caelius the contributions in this volume bring attention back to this important author, and offer new perspectives on his work, contributing to the presently flourishing literature on medicine and science (and their transmission) in the late antique period. |
