Sozinskey is a scholarly work written in the late 19th century. This publication explores the ancient symbolism associated with medicine, delving into the historical connections between medical practices, mythology, and the various representations of healing deities, especially focusing on Æsculapius. The book appears to be aimed at educated physicians and those with an interest in the historical foundations of medical practice and symbolism. The opening portion of the work establishes the author's perspective that the medical profession is often seen as stagnant, despite its rich historical roots and symbolism. Sozinskey emphasizes the importance of understanding the medical literature of the past, which he believes has been largely neglected. He introduces the subject matter by discussing various chapters that will cover ancient medical mythology, archaeological findings, and the significance of symbols in the context of healing arts. The preface also hints at the author's intention to enliven interest among modern practitioners in the ancient understanding of the healing arts, suggesting that insights gained from historical symbolism could inform contemporary medical practice.
