Project Gutenberg 2007-05-05 Public domain in the USA. 520 Elliott, James, Sir 1880 1959 Elliott, James Sands Outlines of Greek and Roman Medicine Produced by Suzanne Lybarger, LN Yaddanapudi, Brian Janes and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Outlines of Greek and Roman Medicine" by Sir James Sands Elliott is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work provides a comprehensive overview of the evolution of medical practice and thought in ancient Greece and Rome, exploring crucial figures, developments, and the interplay between medicine and society during those times. The book is likely aimed at medical professionals, students, and anyone interested in the historical underpinnings of modern medicine. The opening of the text introduces the author’s motivation for writing, stemming from a recent trip to southeastern Europe that rekindled his interest in the neglected history of ancient medical practices. Elliott intends to trace the significant milestones in the healing arts of the two empires influential to contemporary medical understanding. He reflects on the intertwined nature of medicine with cultural, philosophical, and religious practices, setting the stage to discuss key practitioners and their contributions in subsequent chapters. By emphasizing the importance of historical awareness in medicine, he critiques the modern medical field's lack of engagement with its own history, which he sees as essential to avoid repeating past mistakes.
