RESOURCEShsc.virginia.edu/hs-library/historical/ antiqua/anthome.html General information under specific headings compiled in conjunction with the colloquium sponsored by the Health System of the University of Virginia. Explores the primary developers of, the types of treatments, instruments employed, philosophies concerning, and physician practices of the Greek, Roman and pre-Renaissance worlds. www.fidnet.com/~weid/RomanII.htm Offers the views of Pliny the Elder, Cato the Elder, and Horace which reflect the three contributing factors to Roman medicine: Etruscan influence, responsibilities of the paterfamilias, and the Greek immigrants and slaves. The information found on this site, developed by the Dalton School, is very extensive for other Roman topics and contains links to other sites which contain additional information on the primary areas of ancient health care. http://www.indiana.edu/~ancmed/syllabus.HTM Authored by Professor N.H. Demand, this site on "The History of Ancient Medicine" offers three extensive sections: the anthropological approach, other ancient cultures, and pre-Hippocratic and Hippocratic medicine. However, the link "Ancient Drugs" provides specific plant and procedures used for treatment. In addition, the link "Fractures" offers specific procedures on the setting and healing procedures for broken bones; however, this link is rather lengthy. www.utexas.edu/utpress/subjects/ classics.html A list of over fifty book titles whose subjects focus on the "specific" rather than the general: for example, the empress Theodora, marriage, "lies and fiction", the bloody arena. Many of these provide an excerpt, such as Jashemski's A Pompeian Herbal: Ancient and Modern Medicinal Plants. This list provides additional library resources. |
