Overview

Galen: Greatest Doctor of the Roman Empire

Meet the medical researcher (born in 129 AD.) whose work and writings would be revered as a standard of authority by both Christian and Muslim worlds for the next 1300 years. One day some of Galen's theories of human physiology would be corrected, but the foundation of all his work, a respect for the unity of the human person in body and spirit, would be handed on as he himself had received it in the Hippocratic tradition.

In this fascinating biography for young people, Jeanne Bendick brings Galen's Roman world alive with the clarity, humor, and outstanding content.
