En partant de l'examen de quelques passages des Anatomicae administrationes de Galien, conservés seulement en traduction arabe, cet article explore dans quelle mesure Galien pouvait être concerné par la souffrance animale. Il apparaît que le médecin grec et célèbre anatomiste établit une claire distinction non seulement entre dissection et vivisection, mais aussi entre la dissection de singes et celle d'autres animaux. Cet article étudie en particulier comment l'emploi de l'adjectif relativement rare εἰδεχθές (d'aspect odieux) peut jeter une lumière nouvelle sur la relation ambivalente entre médecins et animaux.
In the eyes of the monkey being dissected: Galen facing animal suffering.
Based on the examination of some passages of Galen's Anatomicae administrationes preserved only in Arabic translation, this paper explores to what extent Galen could be concerned with animal suffering. It appears that the Greek physician and famous anatomist makes a clear distinction not only between dissection and vivisection, but also between the dissection of monkeys and that of other animals. This paper explores in particular how the use of the relatively rare adjective εἰδεχθές (obnoxious appearance) can shed new light on the ambivalent relationship between physicians and animals.
