Darstellungen normaler und krankhaft ver nderter K rperteile an antiken Weihgaben, published in 1911, explores the representation of normal and pathologically altered body parts in ancient votive offerings. Written in German, this historical work by Meyer-Steineg examines the intersection of ancient medicine, art, and religious practice. The book delves into the significance of these votive offerings as expressions of gratitude, pleas for healing, and reflections of ancient anatomical knowledge and beliefs about health and disease. It offers valuable insights into the cultural and medical context of antiquity, making it a compelling resource for historians of medicine, art historians, and those interested in ancient religious practices.
