About This Book

The volume presents English translations of the corpus attributed to Hippocrates accompanied by a preliminary discourse and extensive annotations. It surveys the origins of Greek medicine and offers a sketch of the physician's life, evaluates the authenticity of individual treatises, and explains the physical philosophy behind their hypotheses. Translations of foundational clinical writings address the influence of environmental factors, methods of prognosis, and principles of medical practice; editorial arguments and notes aim to clarify obscure passages and relate ancient doctrines to readers with contemporary medical and scholarly knowledge.
