De anatomicis administrationibus, a practical rather than theoretical work describing the procedure of dissection and physiological experiment, is, so Singer believed, a verbatim transcription of lectures delivered in Rome in AD 177. There is no comparable work in ancient literature and none more influential in the history of modern anatomy. This volume provides a translation of the surviving Greek text (Book I to the first part of Book IX) based on the Kuhn edition of 1821, and an introduction in which Singer discussed the various schools of medicine in Imperial Rome and the problems of translating a work written without an existing technical voabulary.
