{"product_id":"soranus-gynecology-soranus-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, Johns Hopkins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0801843200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780801843204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Johns Hopkins University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/1991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\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","brand":"Soranus","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926134718719,"sku":"9780801843204","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_bfa4473e-4b08-4305-b4ab-e5d1bdcdda20.jpg?v=1681081398","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/soranus-gynecology-soranus-9780801843204","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
