did not finish reading

A Cabinet of Ancient Medical Curiosities is a collection of quotes about Greek and Roman medicine and doctors from Greek and Roman sources.  I was disappointed in this book, as there is little annotation, explanation, or context given for any of the quotes.  I had expected more detailed information; instead, it is 247 pages of interesting, but not particularly useful, quotations.
