The title of Aileen Das’ first monograph, Galen and the Arabic Reception of Plato’s Timaeus, may mislead readers into thinking that she is solely interested in contributing to the growing literature on reception studies of this important Platonic dialogue. As valuable as Das’ contributions to that literature are, in actual fact Das weaves through Greek, Arabic, and Hebrew texts and manuscripts to investigate the relationship between medicine and philosophy in Late Antique Roman and Islamic societies before 1200.
