Hippocrates, said to have been born in Cos in or before 460 BCE,
learned medicine and philosophy; travelled widely as a medical
doctor and teacher; was consulted by King Perdiccas of Macedon and
Artaxerxes of Persia; and died perhaps at Larissa. Apparently he
rejected superstition in favour of inductive reasoning and the
study of real medicine as subject to natural laws, in general and
in individual people as patients for treatment by medicines and
surgery. Of the roughly 70 works in the 'Hippocratic Collection'
many are not by Hippocrates; even the famous oath may not be his.
But he was undeniably the 'Father of Medicine'.
The works available in the Loeb Classical Library edition of
Hippocrates are the following. Volume I: Ancient Medicine. Airs,
Waters, Places. Epidemics 1 and 3. The Oath. Precepts. Nutriment.
Volume II: Prognostic. Regimen in Acute Diseases. The Sacred

This is the tenth volume in the Loeb Classical Library's ongoing
edition of Hippocrates' invaluable texts, which provide essential
information about the practice of medicine in antiquity and about
Greek theories concerning the human body. Here, Paul Potter

treatises, four concerning human reproduction (Generation, Nature
of the Child) and reproductive disorders (Nature of Women,
Barrenness), and one (Diseases 4) that expounds a general theory of
physiology and pathology.

This is the ninth volume in the Loeb Classical Library's ongoing
edition of Hippocrates' invaluable texts, which provide essential
information about the practice of medicine in antiquity and about
Greek theories concerning the human body. Here Paul Potter presents
the Greek text with facing English translation of eleven treatises,
four previously unavailable in English, that illuminate Hippocratic
medicine in such areas as anatomy, physiology, prognosis and
clinical signs, obstetrics, and ophthalmology.
The medical treatises collected under Hippocrates' name are
essential sources of information about the practice of medicine in
antiquity and about Greek theories concerning the human body. In
this seventh volume of the ongoing Loeb edition of the Hippocratic
Collection, Wesley Smith presents the first modern English
translation of Books 2 and 4 7 of the Epidemics (the other two
books are available in the first volume). In the casebooks and
notes that make up the seven books called Epidemics the title
originally meant 'visits' we can watch ancient physicians observing
patients, noting and pondering symptoms, evaluating treatments, and
developing theories about the body. They appear to be physicians'
notebooks from several areas of the Aegean basin. Smith supplements
his clear translation with explanatory notes. The other works
available in the Loeb Classical Library edition of Hippocrates are
the following. Volume I: Ancient Medicine. Airs, Waters, Places.
Epidemics 1 and 3. The Oath. Precepts. Nutriment. Volume II:
Prognostic. Regimen in Acute Diseases. The Sacred Disease. The Art.
Breaths. Law. Decorum. Physician (Ch. 1). Dentition. Volume III: On
Wounds in the Head. In the Surgery. On Fractures. On Joints.
Mochlicon. Volume IV: Nature of Man. Regimen in Health. Humours.
Aphorisms. Regimen 1 3. Dreams. Volume V: Affections. Diseases 1 2.
Volume VI: Diseases 3. Internal Affections. Regimen in Acute
Diseases. Volume VIII: Places in Man. Glands. Fleshes. Prorrhetic I
II. Physician. Use of Liquids. Ulcers. Haemorrhoids and Fistulas.
Volume IV also contains the fragments of Heracleitus, On the
Universe.
The medical treatises collected under Hippocrates' name are
essential sources of information about the practice of medicine in
antiquity and about Greek theories concerning the human body. In
this eighth volume of the ongoing Loeb edition of these invaluable
texts, Paul Potter presents ten treatises that offer an
illuminating overview of Hippocratic medicine. Three theoretical
works Places in Man, General Nature of Glands, and Fleshes expound
particular theories of anatomy and physiology and then elaborate on
how disease and healing occur in the systems depicted. Prorrhetic 1
and 2 and Physician deal with symptoms and prognosis and with other
aspects of the physician-patient relationship. And four practical
manuals Use of Liquids, Ulcers, Fistulas, and Haemorrhoids give
specific instruction for treatments. Thus from the writings in this
volume we gain insight into the Hippocratic physician's
understanding of the body, his approach to his patient, and his
methods for dealing with a variety of disorders. The other works
available in the Loeb Classical Library edition of Hippocrates are
the following. Volume I: Ancient Medicine. Airs, Waters, Places.
Epidemics 1 and 3. The Oath. Precepts. Nutriment. Volume II:
Prognostic. Regimen in Acute Diseases. The Sacred Disease. The Art.
Breaths. Law. Decorum. Physician (Ch. 1). Dentition. Volume III: On
Wounds in the Head. In the Surgery. On Fractures. On Joints.
Mochlicon. Volume IV: Nature of Man. Regimen in Health. Humours.
Aphorisms. Regimen 1 3. Dreams. Volume V: Affections. Diseases 1 2.
Volume VI: Diseases 3. Internal Affections. Regimen in Acute
Diseases. Volume VII: Epidemics 2 and 4 7. Volume IV also contains
the fragments of Heracleitus, On the Universe.
