Explores the Timaeus' impact on pre-modern Greek and Arabic conceptualizations of medicine and will appeal to classicists, medievalists, and historians of philosophy, science, and the Middle East. Its five case studies examine how thinkers such as Galen and Avicenna used Plato's dialogue to define their expertise and professional identities.
