Ippocrates Collection – Hardbound Edition

Description

It is no coincidence that the world’s leading medical scholars continue to study the works of Hippocrates.

The most important physician of antiquity was extremely prolific, covering a wide range of topics related to medical practice and science:

• He wrote the most sacred and timeless text in medicine: the Oath that all doctors in the world have been honoring ever since it was formulated.
• He laid the foundations of medical ethics, describing how a doctor should behave, treat patients, and even dress.
• He sought the real causes of disease beyond magic or divine punishment, which at the time were widely considered the “source of evil” afflicting humans.
• He meticulously recorded symptoms, diseases, and treatments, while also formulating his own theories based on observation and documentation, effectively conducting the first “medical research” in the history of medicine.

Now acquire the works of Hippocrates in a luxurious 11-volume hardcover series. Each volume includes the original ancient text, a modern Greek translation, and commentary.
