Caroline Petit's book, Galien de Pergame ou la rh?torique de la Providence: M?decine, litt?rature et pouvoir ? Rome is the first comprehensive study of the role of rhetoric in Galen's oeuvre. Physician to several Roman emperors and author of the most impressive body of works in antiquity up to AD 350, Galen created a compelling figure of authority through his medical and philosophical works. The book analyses the range of Galen's rhetorical mastery through five chapters, studying in turn Galen and the Hellenic tradition, Galen's demonstrative and refutative tactics, the role of enargeia in Galen's descriptions and narratives, his 'hymn' to Nature in his main anatomical work, De usu partium, and finally autobiography and self-portrait in his oeuvre.
