Petit, Caroline, "Galen, Pharmacology and the Boundaries of Medicine: A Reassessment", dins: Lehmhaus, Lennart - Martelli, Matteo (eds.), Collecting Recipes: Byzantine & Jewish Pharmacology in Dialogue, Berlín, De Gruyter (Science, Technology and Medicine in Ancient Cultures, 4), 2017, pp. 51-80.

Resum
In this paper I examine some of Galen's statements about borderline remedies (amulets, "disgusting" substances, ...) in his treatise On simple drugs. As recognised by late antique readers of Galen (not so much by modern ones) ,a flexible, inclusive approach is the key to effective medical practice. More than a staunch rationalist, then, Galen is a pragmatist, using remedies that have been proven to work by experience. To his medical successors, he provided a framework allowing for inclusion of all kinds of remedies, however questionable from a rationalist perspective.
