Hardback. Condition: New. The definitive English edition of the "Father of Medicine."Hippocrates, said to have been born in Cos in or before 460 BC, learned medicine and philosophy; traveled 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 favor 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 seventy works in the "Hippocratic Collection" many are not by Hippocrates; even the famous oath may not be his.

The Oath. Precepts. Nutriment.Volume II: Prognostic. Regimen in Acute Diseases. The Sacred Disease. The Art. Breaths. Law. Decorum. Dentition.Volume III: On Wounds in the Head. In the Surgery.
