Medizinischer Rat / Liber Medicinalis

What should one do when one can't find a doctor or does not trust physicians? Quintus Serenus offers an answer to this question in his Liber medicinalis. This bilingual edition, which contains an illuminating and detailed introduction, is the very first German translation of the work. It offers a unique perspective on the realities and mentalities of late antiquity, and on the history of ancient medicine.
