Event Date
Dr. Salas will join the Society for Ancient Medicine and the UC Davis Early Science Workshop to discuss his new book, Cutting Words, which interrogates Galen’s anatomical treatises and examines the interplay between their literary production and the live dissections that they describe. He places these polemical experiments within the high intellectual culture of second-century Rome and outlines how the textual and cultural context of Galen’s anatomy shapes his investigations of animal bodies.
