Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. A substantial collection of essays by Owsei Temkin, one of the foremost twentieth-century historians of medicine. The volume brings together Temkin's writings on the history, philosophy, ethics, and development of medicine from classical antiquity through the early twentieth century. The title essay, "The Double Face of Janus," provides a retrospective account of Temkin's development as a scholar in Germany and the United States and places his work within the development of medical history as an academic discipline. Other essays address the relationship between history and the philosophy of medicine, medical ethics and moral responsibility, Greek and Galenic medicine, Hippocratism, physiology, concepts of health and disease, surgery, pharmacology, and the development of modern biomedical science. Temkin also discusses and recalls important figures in the development of medical history, including Karl Sudhoff, Henry E. Sigerist, William H. Welch, and Richard H. Shryock. A contemporary JAMA review described the collection as a republication of important earlier papers together with a new autobiographical essay and noted Temkin's long association with the Johns Hopkins Institute of the History of Medicine. x, 543 pages.

Significance / Collector Appeal: Owsei Temkin was one of the leading figures in establishing the history of medicine as a rigorous scholarly discipline in the United States. He served as William H. Welch Professor of the History of Medicine and director of the Institute of the History of Medicine at Johns Hopkins. This collection ranges across ancient, medieval, and modern medicine and represents many of the subjects central to his career. The book also has genuine historiographical importance rather than being merely an old collection of medical essays: it was reviewed on publication in JAMA, Medical History, Isis, and The American Historical Review.
