by Harris, CRS.

“Harris traces the development of the Greeks’ ideas about the physiological function of the heart from the earliest writings 9in 5th century BC) by Alcmaeom of Croton, a pupil of Pythagoras who placed the seat of consciousness in the brain and, in his theory of unbalance of opposite qualities, offered the first rational explanation of disease, to the sphymology of Galen (AD 129-199/216).”
Garza, Randal. Understanding Plague : Medical Imaginative Texts Medieval Spain.
by Garza, Randal.
$ 22.00“Such a study concerning Spain has been conspicuously absent until now. The present investigation is among the first to bring together information that documents the pernicious behavior of the disease in Spain and to demonstrate how it changed the societies it afflicted. Studying the medical and imaginative texts of medieval Spain, reveals that the disease did, in fact, help change the perceived role of the medical practitioner, the idea of public health, and the portrayal of death and dying.”
