Don G. Bates (M.D., Western Ontario; Ph.D., Johns Hopkins University) was a founder of the Department of Social Studies of Medicine, School of Medicine, McGill University, Montreal, Canada. He was the Cotton-Hannah Professor of the History of Medicine. His research focused on the development of medicine, especially in England, during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. His areas of research included the relationship between medicine and science and the cross-cultural study of knowledge in medicine. He edited Knowledge and the Scholarly Medical Traditions (1995, Cambridge University Press). He generously offered his article for publication here, expressing regret that because of illness, he could not prepare a special article for the issue. He died on 5 August 2001
