| Abstract: |
This paper focuses on demonstrating the weakness of the traditional date for Galen's death. It shows that there are good grounds fkom both within the Galenic Corpus and outside it for thinking that he lived at least until he was eighty. Information from Byzantine and Arab scholars from the sixth century onwards suggests that he had died in the reign of Caracalla, perhaps in 216. |
