Abstract

In the last years, many academic publications on the interaction of medical and philosophical issues in Galen’s writings appeared, along with some investigations on his rhetorical strategies. Nonetheless, a comprehensive study on the role that rhetoric played in Galen’s education, medical practice, and literary production was still missing.The book by Caroline Petit, which analyses important aspects of Galens’ rhetorical abilities, aims at filling this gap.
