Description - The Falling Sickness by Owsei Temkin
Owsei Temkin presents the history of epilepsy in Western civilization from ancient times to the beginnings of modern neurology. Extensive quotations from original sources and restraint in the use of modern medical terminology offer unusual insights into what past generations saw, thought and expressed. Yet this is also a developmental history of the disease and as such is guided by modern interests even where older opinions are contrary to those of the present day.
