First meeting of the Dutch Society for Ancient Medicine!

The first meeting of the Dutch Society for Ancient Medicine will take place on the 28th of June at Utrecht University. During the meeting, we will have the great pleasure of welcoming Prof Vivian Nutton and hear him lecture on his specialization: ancient medicine and the history of the classical tradition within medicine in general. One of his main focuses in his research efforts is Galen and his role in medical history, which has rendered him one of the prime experts in the field. The title of the talk is thus in line with his specialization: ‘From Galen to Galenism and beyond: eighteen hundred years of a medical philosophy’. We hereby invite you to participate in the meeting and hope to engage with you in a fruitful discussion on the topic.
