Dissection in Classical Antiquity
Dissection is a practice with a long history stretching back to antiquity and has played a crucial role in the development of anatomical knowledge. Claire Bubb reveals how dissection was practised from the Hippocratic authors of the fifth century BC through Aristotle and the Hellenistic doctors Herophilus and Erasistratus to Galen in the second century AD. This absorbing book takes the story back to classical antiquity, employing a wide range of textual and material evidence.
The book concludes with a thorough examination of the relationship of dissection to the development of anatomical She focuses on its material concerns and social contexts, from the anatomical subjects (animal or human) and how they were acquired, to the motivations and audiences of dissection, to its place in the web of social contexts that informed its reception, including butchery, sacrifice, and spectacle.
