About the book

The Gynaeciorum libri, a compendium of ancient and contemporary texts on gynaecology, is the inspiration for this exploration of the origins of a subfield of medicine. While examining the origins of the compendium, Helen King here concentrates on its reception, looking at a range of different uses of the book in the history of medicine.
