[EAN: 9782877230018], [SC: 12.75], [PU: Peeters Publishers], Peeters, Paris, 1988. XXIII,341p. Paperback. (Rare). ?This book offers a feast of words. The author?s objective, rather a wish than a description of what she does, is to find all the metaphorical terms in use in Greek medical texts and, for the ?metaphorisant?, the word used metaphorically, determine the exact original sense and its history, and account for its metaphorical uses. Skoda presents her results in anatomical and pathological categories: skeleton, digestive system, circulatory system, auditory system, diseases of the skin, tumors, eye infections, and so on. Her etymologies and explanations of terms are generally interesting and convincing. Finally she sums up what she has discovered (?). There are matters of both omission and inclusion which will keep us from thinking of this book as anything more than a beginning. (?) In sum this is a welcome book on a fascinating subject. Its conclusions are not to be taken seriously, but I hope that it inspires other people to carry the subject further.? (WESLEY SMITH in Bulletin of the History of Medecine, 1990, pp.98-99).
