Book Description

Case collections make up a significant portion of ancient literary traditions, mostly in medical and forensic contexts. Case literature, however, has usually not been studied in its own right by modern scholars. This volume presents seven studies of cases and case literature ranging from ancient Greek medical, forensic, philosophical and mathematical cases to medical cases from imperial China, as well as 20th-century American medical case writing.
