Abbreviations and Other Notes
For references to Galen’s works I have used the standard abbreviations as listed in Singer (2013) 429–42. The most frequently referenced works are listed below with their Latin and English title and page numbers in C. G. Kühn’s (K) Opera Omnia edition (Leipzig 1821–1833). For other works, such as those of Plato and Aristotle, I have used the standard abbreviations in footnotes. Translations are my own unless otherwise indicated.
