This collection of papers – some of which written by the world’s leading specialists in the area of ancient medicine – aims at promoting an integrated approach to medical theory and practice in classical antiquity. Questions of health and disease are considered in their relation to the social, intellectual, moral and religious dimensions of the ancient world. The papers focus on the socio-cultural setting of the experience of pain and illness, the different reactions they provoked and the importance that was attached to this experience in literature, religion and philosophy. The first volume offers articles (from an archaeological, historical and philological point of view) dealing with social, institutional and geographical aspects of medical practice. It also has a special section on medical views on women, children and sexuality, and on female medical activity. The second volume focuses on the ways in which religious and magical beliefs influenced the experience of, and the attitude towards, illness and medical practice. It also deals with the relations of medicine with philosophy, and the other sciences and with the variety of linguistic and textual forms in which medical knowledge was expressed and communicated. Contributors to the first volume are Lawrence J. Bliquez, Simon Byl, Armelle Debru, Nancy Demand, Danielle Gourevitch, Ann Ellis Hanson, H.F.J. Horstmanshoff, Ralph Jackson, Eva C. Keuls, Jukka Korpela, Ernst Künzl, Gabriele Marasco, Attilio Mastrocinque, Karin Nijhuis, Vivian Nutton, H.W. Pleket, Heikki Solin, Peter Van Minnen, and Juliane C. Wilmanns.

Den Grundtenor dieses Bandes über "Gesundheit und Krankheit im 18.jahrhundert" bilden weniger die kurativen Bemühungen der Medizin als vielmehr "Die geheimen Gebrechen des Kopfes oder des Herzens“ (Kant), die von Betroffenen reflektiert oder dichterisch verarbeitet und gestaltet werden. Gesundheit ist nach der Definition der Encyclopédie "l’état le plus parfait de la vie", und es ist bezeichnend für die Intentionen und Wiederherstellung allen Kreisen der Bevölkerung eröffnet werden soll. Ce livre ne se propose pas avant tout de traiter des efforts curatifs entrepris par la médicine du XVIIIe siècle. Il invite plutôt le lecteur à se pencher sur les « infirmités secrètes du cœur et de la conscience »(Kant) telles qu’elles nous sont révélées par les témoignages littéraires et poétiques ; que le lecteur se laisse surprendre par les moyens mis en œuvre par les témoins du XVIIIe pour affronter et communiquer ou même surmonter leurs maux intimes. Selon la définition de l’Encyclopédie, notre santé serait "l’état le plus parfait de la vie". Au siècle des Lumières le vœux est vif de montrer à tout être humain les moyens de conserver ou de récupérer son bien le plus précieux.
