Galen wrote over 250 books in Greek, which spread through the Roman Empire. In AD410 , the Empire collapsed. The separation of the old Roman Empire into a Latin Western Empire and a Greek Eastern, meant that Galen's ideas were no longer studied in the West. They did survive though in the East, where there were preserved by Arabic scholars after the fall of the Eastern Roman Empire. The West would not read his works again for over 200 years.
