Thomas Inman
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thomas Inman (1820–1876) was a house-surgeon to the Liverpool Royal Infirmary.[1] In his lifetime he had numerous medical papers published. Perhaps most notably, however, he was an amateur mythologist, and as such had several non-medical papers published, including Ancient Pagan and Modern Christian Symbolism, first published in 1869 and then again in 1875.[2]
In Ancient Pagan and Modern Christian Symbolism, doctor Inman elucidates the origins of some popularly-used symbols, some of them medical. Many of the symbols he discusses are recognizable even today.
