- Authors
Victoria Domínguez-Rodríguez, María; González-Hernández, Ayoze
- Abstract
The article looks into how Thomas Phayer presents and defines epilepsy in his book entitled "The Boke of Chyldren." The book is a relatively slim treatise of 124 pages that contained some ideas on children's diseases and therapeutic needs. It reflects an unprecedented attempt to systematize a set of principles for a future pediatric discipline in England.
