Singer, P. N. (Author)
Galen’s Simples is a work of enormous historical importance, which has however received little detailed analysis in modern times, from a theoretical or intellectual-historical point of view. The present paper makes a preliminary attempt at such an analysis, offering both an overview of its content and context and a focussed analysis of one particular theoretical area. There are three main aims: (A) to give a synoptic account of the most important theoretical questions raised in Simples, while also contextualizing the work within Galen’s oeuvre and within Graeco-Roman pharmacological traditions more broadly; (B) to give a detailed account of one theoretical concept in particular, that of change in or through the whole substance (καθ᾽ ὅλην τὴν οὐσίαν) – as it appears both in Simples and in other relevant texts; (C) to give a very brief account of the Nachleben of this concept in Early Modern times, which may be thought to shed further light on it, or at least to cast it in a fresh perspective.
