Description

The Hippocratic Corpus comprises some sixty medical works of varying length, style and content. Collectively, this is the largest surviving body of early Greek prose. As such, it is an invaluable resource for scholars and students not only of ancient medicine but also of Greek life in general. The 'Hippocratic' Corpus facilitates the use and exploration of this important body of evidence. The book has a substantial introduction and examines each work individually, providing a brief summary of content followed by a commentary on substance and style. Context is provided not just in relation to the corpus as a whole but also to the work's wider relevance.
