{"product_id":"soranus-gynecology-9780801843204","title":"Soranus' Gynecology","description":"\u003cp\u003eSoranus was one of the most learned and lucid medical qriters of antiquity. Among his admirers was St. Augustine, who called him pre-eminent author of medicine. He was a leading medical figure of the early second century A.D., and of his writings preserved in Greek the \u003ci\u003eGynecology\u003c\/i\u003e is the most important and most revealing of his thought. Including a section on infant care, Soranus' \u003ci\u003eGynecology\u003c\/i\u003e represents ancient gynecological and obstetrical practice at its height. Many of its teachings were to remain part of medical practive as late as the sixteenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSoranus is regarded as the outstanding representative of a school of ancient medicine knoen as the methodist sect, which rivaled the more ancient dogmatic and empirical sects. The methodists rejected both etiological research and mere experience, concentrating instead on a study of the phenomena of diseases themselves. Long out of print, this first English translation of the authoritative Greek text of the \u003ci\u003eGynecology\u003c\/i\u003e is now available in a paperback edition. An introduction and notes provide insight into the work's historical and scientific background.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Soranus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Johns Hopkins University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/1991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.52h x 5.60w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780801843204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eTemkin, Owsei:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eOwsei Temkin, M.D. \u003c\/b\u003e(1902-2002), was William H.
