Hippocrates and Medical Education
Selected Papers Presented at the XIIth International Hippocrates Colloquium, Universiteit Leiden, 24-26 August 2005
Series: - Studies in Ancient Medicine, Volume: 35
Editor:
The collection of writings known as the Corpus Hippocraticum played a decisive role in medical education for more than twenty-four centuries. This is the first full-length volume on medical education in Graeco-Roman antiquity since Kudlienâs seminal article of 1970. Most of the articles in this volume were originally presented as papers at the XIIth International Colloquium Hippocraticum in Leiden in 2005.
Manfred (H.F.J.) Horstmanshoff is Professor of the History of Ancient Medicine at Leiden University. In 2000-2001 and in 2008-2009 he was Fellow-in-residence at the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study in the Humanities and Social Sciences (NIAS).
This book is an excellent source of information, from surveys of medical training and education programs, to specific analysis of certain treatises. While most helpful to a scholar of ancient medicine, the later chapters dealing with Hippocratic reception may find a wider audience in scholars of the history of medicine in general. The bibliography is extensive and in all relevant languages.
