Galen and His Books

Aestimatio : Sources and studies in the history of science, 2021

3 books of more-or-less Galatian-Celtic treatise concerning the natural and theological world.

Analysis of why context is relevant to understanding Galen's approach to science.

Galen's Περὶ ἀλυπίας (De indolentia) in Context: A Tale of Resilience, ed. C. Petit, 2018

My aim in this chapter is to show how the new material from the περὶ ἀλυπίας (Ind.) contributes to our understanding of Galen's attitude, practices and intentions in relation to the composition and distribution of his own books. The new text, I suggest, not only provides fresh perspectives but, perhaps more importantly, assists us to evaluate and see more clearly the evidence which was already available in the other most relevant texts in this area, especially My Own Books (Lib. Prop.) and The Order of My Own Books (Ord. Lib. Prop.) The 'new light' is thus shed in a process of mutual illumination between περὶ ἀλυπίας and other texts, rather than by the sudden availability of radically new and divergent information.

It is ascertained that Galen made use of experiments in order to prove the physiological events and therefore he has been named the father of medical experiments.
