Sent: 27 October 2012 08:43 Dear Alison/list there was some discussion of this on the list a while back when the movie 'Hysteria' came out. The first point of call has to be Lesley Hall's page on http://www.lesleyahall.net/factoids.htm#hysteria. As she notes there, I've also discussed the claims for earlier medicine in my paper 'Galen and the widow' for the EuGeStA journal, on http://oro.open.ac.uk/30726/ with a link to the PDF of the full text.
