What should one do when one can't find a doctor or does not trust physicians? Quintus Serenus offers an answer to this question in his Liber medicinalis . This bilingual edition, which contains an illuminating and detailed introduction, is the very first German translation of the work. It offers a unique perspective on the realities and mentalities of late antiquity, and on the history of ancient medicine.
