In his text De locis affectis, Galen of Pergamon developed a method that allowed the physician of antiquity to identify internal disease that was not directly visible. This volume offers the first critical edition of books I and II of this central Galenic work. Drawing on all known Greek text sources, the text has been reconstituted and translated into German.
