Richard Gordon, de pseudoniem van een Engelse chirurg en anesthesist, verwierf faam met een reeks komische romans die zich richtten op de medische praktijk. Zijn vroege werken, gesitueerd in een fictief Londens ziekenhuis, werden gekenmerkt door humor en een schijnbaar autobiografisch inzicht in de medische wereld. Latere romans bevatten meer seksuele toespelingen en kluchten, wat bijdroeg aan hun aanzienlijke populariteit. Naast zijn fictieve verhalen schreef Gordon ook toegankelijke medische geschiedenissen en over diverse andere onderwerpen, waarmee hij een gevarieerd literair oeuvre naliet.

The last decade has seen a surge of scholarly interest in these religious professionals and a good number of high quality publications. Our volume, however, with its unique intercultural character and its explicit focus on appropriation and contestation of religious expertise in the Imperial Era is substantially different. Unlike the rather narrow focus of earlier studies of civic priests, the papers presented here examine a wider range of religious professionals, their dynamic interaction with established religious authorities and institutions, and their contributions to religious innovation in the ancient Mediterranean world, from the late Hellenistic period through to Late Antiquity, from the City of Rome to mainland Greece, Asia Minor, Syria and Egypt, from Greek civic practice to ancient Judaism. A further advantage of our volume is the wide range of media of transmission taken into account. Our contributors look at both old and new materials, which derive not only from literary sources but also from papyri, inscriptions, and material culture. Above all, this volume assesses critically convenient terminological usage and offers a unique insight into a rich gamut of ancient Mediterranean religious specialists.
Richard Gordon, Autor vieler tolldreister und erfolgreich verfilmter Romane aus der Welt der Medizin, durchwandert mit seinen Lesern auf die amüsanteste Weise Hörsäle, Krankenzimmer und Operationsräume. Ob der berühmte Chirurg Sir Lancelot während seiner Operationen die Instrumente auf den Boden wirft, ob der Narkotiseur während der kritischen Momente gerade Zeitung liest, welche Liebesbeziehungen sich trotz der Wachsamkeit der Oberschwester in den abgelegenen Winkeln der Klinik anbahnen - stets sorgt der Autor für vergnügliche Überraschungen und übermütige Unterhaltung.
