Galen: Writings on Plato's Timaeus<i/> : Compendium of Plato's Timaeus; Commentary on the Medical Statements in Plato's Timaeus

Omtale

Plato's Timaeus was of enormous significance to Galen's thought on the body's structure and functioning and a key source of inspiration for his teleological world view. This is the first critical English translation of two previously inaccessible readings of the text which also shaped later Islamicate engagements with Plato's dialogue.
