Open-access edition and translation of Galen’s “Peri Alupias” (On grief) and “On my own opinions”

I’ve written before about the discovery of a fascinating work by the 2nd century physician, Galen, describing the loss of libraries and his own research collection in a fire in Rome. Now an edition of it, with English translation, plus another work, has come online, open-access: Galen,, Polemis, Ioannis and Xenophontos, Sophia. ›On Avoiding Distress‹ and ›On My Own Opinions‹, Berlin, Boston: De Gruyter, 2023. https://doi.org/10.1515/9783111320816 It’s online here in PDF form. This is how things should be. H/t Scott D. Hendricks at Bluesky.
