Studien zum literarischen Potential medizinischen Fachwissens in der griechischen Literatur der Kaiserzeit.

›Philiatroi‹ (griech. ›Freunde ärztlicher Kunst‹, ›Hobby-Ärzte‹) nannte man in den Jahrhunderten um die Zeitenwende diejenigen interessierten Laien, deren Anspruch auf Bildung (›paideia‹) verstärkt auch Kenntnisse auf dem Gebiet der Fachwissenschaft Medizin mit einschloss. Diese ›Studien‹ untersuchen das literarische Potential, das medizinisches Fachwissen beim Kontakt mit verschiedenen literarischen Genres entfaltet. Auf der Grundlage des von dem Arzt Galen an Laien vermittelten Wissens werden dabei paradigmatisch Texte eines möglichst breiten Spektrums der griechischen Literatur befragt: über Philosophie und Popularphilosophie, Biografie, Historiografie und epideiktische Rede hin zu Formen autobiografischen Schreibens und schließlich Satire und Parodie.
