Annotation:
This page was designed to be an internet source that presents the study of ancient medicine in a manner that is both accessible and useful to the general public and to students enrolled in the history course "Ancient Medicine" (History C380/580), taught by Professor Nancy Demand at Indiana University Bloomington. Essays on medicine in Ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia and Greece are particularly useful and some scholars may find the images of ancient medical instruments to be interesting. Designed for undergraduates, the site is not particularly expansive.
