Описание:
Despite the ubiquitous importance of medicine in Roman literature, philosophy, and social history, the language of Latin medical texts has not been properly studied. This book presents the first systematic account of a part of this large, rich field. Concentrating on texts of "high" medicine written in educated, even literary, Latin Langslow offers a detailed linguistic profile of the medical terminology of Celsus and Scribonius Largus (first century AD) and Theodorus Priscianus and Cassius Felix (fifth century AD), with frequent comparisons with their respective near-contemporaries.
About author (from Personal Details, OU site):
"I came to Manchester in January 1999. Before that, I was University Lecturer in Latin Philology and Linguistics in the University of Oxford and a Fellow of Wolfson College, Oxford (1984-1998). My doctoral thesis (Oxford, 1991) was on the origin and development of Latin medical terminology, and followed an MPhil (Oxford, 1984) in philology and linguistics with special reference to Greek and Anatolian, and a BA (Oxford, 1982) in Classics (Greek and Latin literature, languages, Greek and Roman history, comparative philology)".
