      abstract = {This book by Laura Zucconi is an accessible introductory  text to the practice and theory of medicine in the ancient  world. In contrast to other works that focus heavily on  Greece and Rome, Zucconi's Ancient Medicine covers a  broader geographical and chronological range. The world of  medicine in antiquity consisted of a lot more than  Hippocrates and Galen.Zucconi applies historical and  anthropological methods to examine the medical cultures of  not only Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, and Rome but also the  Levant, the Anatolian Peninsula, and the Iranian Plateau.  Devoting special attention to the fundamental relationship  between medicine and theology, Zucconi's one-volume  introduction brings the physicians, patients, procedures,  medicines, and ideas of the past to light. },
