Bøker av Hippocrates

Represents the Hippocratic Corpus, some seventy medical treatises of different dates and authorship: anatomy, physiology, pathology, medical ideology, clinical instruction, traditional love, and gynaecology. This edition focuses on the background of the Corpus and other early Greek medical texts.

Of the roughly seventy treatises in the Hippocratic Collection, many are not by Hippocrates (said to have been born in Cos in or before 460 BCE), but they are essential sources of information about the practice of medicine in antiquity and about Greek theories concerning the human body, and he was undeniably the "Father of Medicine."
