Bemerkungen

Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Einband berieben, Knick in Vorsatzseite, sonst guter Zustand / binding rubbed, crease in endpaper, otherwise good condition. - The author demonstrates the centrality of menstruation in classical theories of female physiology, pathology, and reproduction, and suggests that this had both negative and positive repercussions in attitudes towards women’s bodies in that society. In particular, she argues that many of the medical principles governing clinical practice on male patients derived from the observation that healthy women menstruate and women who are seriously ill tend not to. In addition to presenting many original theories, the book is important in assembling and presenting original texts and the results of scholarly research which would not otherwise be easily accessible. / CONTENTS Texts and Translations Abbreviations Introduction: Contexts and Sources 1.
