Über den Autor


David Bennett was, for most of his career, a hospital executive in the British National Health Service. In retirement, he brought together his life-long love of the Greek language and the interest he had developed in hospital history by studying the texts associated with Byzantine hospitals, first for a Master's degree and then a Ph.D. at the University of London. He died in 2012. This book grew out of his doctoral thesis.
