Books like Western Medical Thought from Antiquity to the Middle Ages are
nothing new; there have been histories of medicine since the days of Christian
Rome. But Mirko Grmek and his colleagues neither buckle under the weight of that
tradition, nor strain after iconoclasm. Their essays, relating early Western
medicine to the surrounding thought and culture, were originally published in
Italian. But thanks to translator Antony Shugaar they retain all their clarity
and energy. Published by Harvard, $30.95, ISBN 067440355X.
