Description
In Ancient Concepts of the Hippocratic, Lesley Dean-Jones and Ralph Rosen have gathered 19 international authorities in ancient medicine to identify commonalities among the treatises of the Hippocratic Corpus which led scholars of antiquity to group them under the single name of Hippocrates. Most recent scholarship has drawn attention to the divergences between individual treatises and groups of treatises, emphasizing the agonistic facet of the ancient medical profession. In contrast, in this volume contributors look to find points of agreement between the writings that go beyond claims of rationality. Topics considered include ontological claims about the discipline of medicine itself, the view of the patient as a perceiving unity, theories on the function of glands and the importance of regimen.

"La collection Studies in Ancient Medicine accueille depuis plusieurs annees les actes des sessions successives du Congres Hippocratique International, lance pour la premiere fois en 1972. L'interet d'une telle entreprise editoriale suivie est double : l'ensemble, plutot consequent, constitue desormais une somme erudite qui temoigne a la fois de la richesse du domaine et du renouveau que les etudes hippocratiques ont connu au cours des deux dernieres decennies - on pourra plus globalement parler du regain d'interet a l'egard des textes medicaux de l'Antiquite ; la recurrence de cette publication contribue a creer et a renforcer une veritable communaute scientifique qui, par l'intermediaire de telles publications, construit sur le long terme un savoir partage et vivant." Frederic Le Blay, Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2016.11.11.More details
