This volume deals with philosophically grounded theories of animal generation as found
in two different traditions: one, deriving primarily from Aristotelian natural philosophy
and specifically from his Generation of Animals; and another, deriving from two related
medical traditions, the Hippocratic and the Galenic. The book contains a classification
and critique of works that touch on the history of embryology and animal generation
written before 1980. It also contains translations of key sections of the works on
which it is focused. It looks at two different scholarly communities: the physicians
(medici) and philosophers (philosophi), that share a set of textual resources and
philosophical lineages, as well as a shared problem (explaining animal generation),
but that nevertheless have different concerns and commitments. The book demonstrates
how those working in these two traditions not only shared a common philosophical background
in the arts curricula of the universities, but were in constant intercourse with each
other.0This book presents a test case of how scholarly communities differentiate themselves
from each other through methods of argument, empirical investigation, and textual
interpretations. It is all the more interesting because the two communities under
investigation have so much in common and yet, in the end, are distinct in a number
of important ways
