I started this article as a stub because it is clearly only a copy of the list of his work, please if you know about him please clean this up, I suggest looking at Hippocratic Corpus for ideas. SADADS (talk) 00:22, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It is, nevertheless, a tremendously useful article to someone who has to try to find a work by Galen! Roger Pearse (talk) 21:47, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dubious

"Galen produced more work than any author in antiquity" ... this statement is most likely an overbroad overstatement. Any author? In any subject? Ever? It seems like a reach to me. To back up this claim, you need to be able to cite all the major authors of antiquity ... not a short list, BTW, with numbers of texts, numbers of words, etc, etc. It may be possible that he produced more medical works ... or, perhaps that more of his medical works have survived, but I think the statement, as it sits, may be unsupportable.

Reply: it is indisputably correct that there is (far) more of Galen surviving than any other author from Greek antiquity of any genre; this is a commonplace in those who study the period and is easily visible by scanning the bookshelves in academic libraries. It cannot be proven that he 'produced more work because of the accidents of survival and the fact that Galenic texts were in active use as textbooks until relatively recently (thus the survivals). The text should probably read that 'more Galenic writing has survived than any other author'. User talk:ophiochos 30-4-2019

The source cited clearly says "Galen was the most prolific author of classical antiquity", not merely that more of his work survives than any other. Yes it's a strong claim - but does any reliable source dispute it? Caeciliusinhorto-public (talk) 14:01, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the dubious tag for now - if anyone finds a source disputing this claim we can remove it... Caeciliusinhorto (talk) 17:23, 19 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
