In the 6th century CE, Aetius of Amida wrote a medical compilation (Libri medicinales) addressing nearly all areas of medicine. Until now, this treatise has been rather neglected. This book offers the first modern translation and commentary of parts of Book 6 dealing with diseases of the brain and mental illnesses. As such it provides new insight into Aetius¿ way of compiling and into the treatment of brain diseases in late antiquity.
