This absorbing book takes the story back to classical antiquity employing a wide range of textual and material evidence. Claire Bubb reveals how dissection was practised from the Hippocratic authors of the fifth century BC through Aristotle and the Hellenistic doctors Herophilus and Erasistratus to Galen in the second century AD. She focuses on its material concerns and social contexts from the anatomical subjects (animal or human) and how they were acquired to the motivations and audiences of dissection to its place in the web of social contexts that informed its reception including butchery sacrifice and spectacle. The book concludes with a thorough examination of the relationship of dissection to the development of anatomical literature into Late Antiquity.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Dissection In Classical Antiquity A Social And Medical History\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Bubb Claire\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781009159470\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 412 Pages, Worked Examples Or Exercises; 10 Halftones, Color\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 2\/2\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: History Of Medicine","brand":"Bubb Claire","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49599592923441,"sku":"IN-G-9781009159470","price":44.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781009159470.jpg?v=1724588264","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781009159470-dissection-in-classical-antiquity-a-social-and-medical-history","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
