商品簡介
Grant (classics, Haileybury College, Hertford, England) presents readable translations of all Galen's food writings: "On the humours," "On black bile," "On uneven bad temperament," "On the causes of disease," "On barley soup," and the three books of "On the powers of foods." He provides a detailed portrait of the elaborate system of effects on health everyday foods were believed to have on the body, how they were used for medicine as well as how they were commonly eaten, and how, in general, the ancient Romans understood the human organism in Galen's home in Pergamum in the second century AD.
