EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Galen of Pergamum: A Prominent Figure in Ancient Greek Medicine". This engraving depicts Galen of Pergamum (129-c. 216 AD), a renowned Greek physician, anatomist, and therapist from Pergamum in Asia Minor, now Izmir, Turkey. Galen is considered one of the most influential figures in the history of medicine, particularly in the fields of anatomy and pharmacology. He is known for his extensive writings on various medical topics, including the functions of the nervous system, the circulation of blood, and the treatment of various diseases and conditions, such as migraines and headaches. Galen's works were based on both theoretical knowledge and practical experience, as he conducted numerous dissections of animals to study their anatomy. This vertical, upright, oil engraving captures the interior of Galen's study, showcasing his scientific tools and books, reflecting his deep commitment to the pursuit of knowledge and the betterment of human health. The image is a testament to the rich cultural exchange between Europe and the Mediterranean world during ancient times. Galen's teachings were widely adopted by European and European-descended physicians, shaping the development of Western medicine for centuries to come. Galen's legacy extends beyond the medical field, as his works have also influenced the development of scientific inquiry and the scientific method. His contributions to the fields of anatomy, physiology, and pharmacology have left an indelible mark on the history of science and continue to inspire researchers and scholars to this day.
