The medical literature of ancient Greece has been much studied
during the 20th century, particularly from the 1970s on. In spite
of this intense activity, the search for manuscripts still relies
on the catalogue compiled in the early 1900s by a group of
philologists led by the German historian of Greek philosophy and
medicine Hermann Diels. However useful the so-called Diels has been
and still is, it is now in need of a thorough revision. The present
five-tome set is a first step in that direction. Tome 1 offers a
reproduction of Diels' catalogue with an index of the manuscripts.
The following three tomes provide a reconstruction of the texts
contained in the manuscripts listed in Diels on the basis of Diels'
catalogue. Proceeding as Diels did, these three tomes distinguish
the manuscripts containing texts by (or attributed to) Hippocrates
(tome 2), Galen (tome 3), and the other authors considered by Diels
(tome 4). Tome 5 will list all the texts listed in Diels for each
manuscript in the catalogue. The present work will be a reference
for all scholars interested in Greek medical literature and
manuscripts, in addition to historians of medicine, medical book,
medical tradition, and medical culture.
