Maimonides arranges the aphorisms into twenty-five treatises, organizing them by traditional medieval subspecialties such as gynecology, hygiene, and diet. He also includes a section examining unusual cases from Galen and offers a critical analysis of Galen's theories. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe first of six volumes, \u003ci\u003eMedical Aphorisms\u003c\/i\u003e provides tantalizing insights into the work of Galen, as it draws on treatises of Galen that no longer exist and shines a light into the world of medieval and ancient medicine. It will be a rich and valuable resource for students and scholars working in the history of medicine, Jewish studies, and medieval Arabic culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Moses Maimonides\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0934893756\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780934893756\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brigham Young University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.34h x 6.46w x 0.93d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2004 pg. 76","brand":"Moses Maimonides","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48447819055359,"sku":"9780934893756","price":89.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_93118b14-699b-40d7-b721-16ed19991b27.jpg?v=1777235027","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/maimonides-medical-aphorisms-moses-maimonides-9780934893756","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
