The Stylistic Expression of Irony in Galen’s Polemics
The article presents an analysis of excerpts from Galen’s works in which he ridicules and defames his opponents using various types of irony and a wide range of stylistic devices for its expression. Public medical disputes were part of the "agonistic" culture of the Second Sophistic, and thus were conducted using rhetorical tools characteristic of judicial oratory, where victory depended not only on logical arguments but also on the oratorical sk…
Types and markers of narrative discourse in Galen's Anatomical Writings
A significant part of the voluminous corpus of texts by Galen (129–210/217 AD) are composed of works written in the genre of narrative prose. In this article, using the material of his anatomical works, in particular, the work "On the bones for beginners", different types of narrative discourse and their linguistic markers are analyzed, such as first-person statements, self-references, transitions from the past tense to the present or future, met…
Galen on the Greek Language of Medicine
The Galenic corpus of texts provides extensive material for the study of not only medicine and philosophy of the 2nd century but also the cultural and intellectual life in Rome during this period. The aim of this article is to analyze a series of excerpts from Galen's works that reveal his role as one of the Roman intellectuals in the sophistic debates on Atticism and Asianism, and to clarify his contribution to maintaining terminological consist…
Galen as representative of Greek paideia of the second sophistic era
Thanks to the extensive corpus of Galen's writings, which includes numerous autobiographical works and individual notes, we possess a wealth of information regarding his upbringing and education. According to a fami-ly tradition, he received a classical Greek education (known as paideia), which allowed him to transition from a provincial intellectual to one of the influential figures in Roman society and achieve the status of a court physi-cian. …

After the publication of new critical editions of his works De libris propriis and De indolentia, new evidences on Roman libraries, their topography, book collections, the state of manuscript funds, as well as on Galen’s work as a philologist, editor and text criti…
On Galen's medical rhetoric
In ancient Greece, medicine was closely linked to rhetoric as it needed the tools to persuade the audience and logically justify the methods of treatment. During the imperial period, mastery of rhetorical techniques became an essential characteristic of educa-tion and belonging to the intellectual elite who highly valued im-provised public speeches and debates, including those on scien-tific topics. Galen, as one of the brightest and most prolifi…
On the Role of Research Travel in Medical Education in the 2nd – 3d Centuries AD
The role of travel in obtaining medical education in Antiquity is well known from the texts of the “Hippocratic Corpus”. However, the most valuable evidence about this aspect of the medical profession can be found in the texts by Galen of Pergamum (129-210/217), whose works are the main source of this study. Galen's numerous autobiographical notes allow us not only to trace the routes of his voyages, but to uncover their goals as well. After rece…
