In Books III and IV of De locis affectis , Galen discusses the conditions affecting the head and brain, the face, the spinal cord, and the airways. His goal is to find each of the body parts that is affected first in order to determine its humoral pathological condition and to prescribe the appropriate treatment. This volume is the first critical edition as well as the first German translation of these books.
