I wish to acknowledge my indebtedness to Drs. Alexander Altmann, William A. Johnson, and Douglas J. Stewart for their critical comments on an early draft of this paper. I am also grateful to Dr. Owsei Temkin for a stimulating discussion of the development of notions about magic and medicine as they relate to ideas about “nature” and “the natural.”
