Complete Works of Hippocrates. Illustrated : On ancient medicine, Prognostics, Aphorisms, Epidemics I and III, On regimen in acute diseases and others

E-book


Hippocrates is considered one of the most outstanding figures in the history of medicine. He is traditionally referred to as the "Father of Medicine".

The Hippocratic Corpus is a collection of around seventy early medical works collected in Alexandrian Greece. The question of whether Hippocrates himself was the author of any of the treatises in the corpus has not been conclusively answered, but current debate revolves around only a few of the treatises seen as potentially authored by him.
