Antiquity\u2019s most prolific and influential medical writer and practitioner.\nGalen of Pergamum (129\u2013?199/216), physician to the court of the emperor Marcus Aurelius, was a philosopher, scientist, and medical historian, a theoretician and practitioner, who wrote forcefully and prolifically on an astonishing range of subjects and whose impact on later eras rivaled that of Aristotle. Galen synthesized the entirety of Greek medicine as a basis for his own doctrines and practice, which comprehensively embraced theory, practical knowledge, experiment, logic, and a deep understanding of human life and society.\nMethod of Medicine is a systematic and comprehensive account of the principles of treating injury and disease and one of Galen\u2019s greatest and most influential works.
