Galen of Pergamum, 'the prince of medicine', plays a significant role in the history of medicine, philosophy, and cultural history. This book presents a study of his physiology, looking both at Galen's solutions to a number of puzzles concerning human bodily functions, and at his theorisation of human nature.
