Ancient Concepts of the Hippocratic
Papers Presented at the XIIIth International Hippocrates Colloquium, Austin, Texas, August 2008
Series: - Studies in Ancient Medicine, Volume: 46
In Ancient Concepts of the Hippocratic, Lesley Dean-Jones and Ralph Rosen have gathered 19 international authorities in ancient medicine to identify commonalities among the treatises of the Hippocratic Corpus which led scholars of antiquity to group them under the single name of Hippocrates. Most recent scholarship has drawn attention to the divergences between individual treatises and groups of treatises, emphasizing the agonistic facet of the ancient medical profession. In contrast, in this volume contributors look to find points of agreement between the writings that go beyond claims of rationality. Topics considered include ontological claims about the discipline of medicine itself, the view of the patient as a perceiving unity, theories on the function of glands and the importance of regimen.
Lesley Dean-Jones (Ph.D. 1987) is Associate Professor and Chair of Classics at The University of Texas at Austin. She has published in ancient medicine, ancient philosophy and Aristotleâs biology and has particular interests in Greek literature and Women in Antiquity.
Ralph M. Rosen (Ph.D. 1983) is Vartan Gregorian Professor of the Humanities and Classical Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. He has published broadly on ancient Greek literature and culture, with special focus on ancient comedy and Greco-Roman medicine.
Contributors are: Robert Alessi, Véronique Boudon-Millot, Pilar Pérez Cañizares, Elizabeth Craik, Todd Curtis, Lesley Dean-Jones, Paul Demont, R.J. Hankinson, Ann Ellis Hanson, Maithe Hulskamp, Jacques Jouanna, Roberto Lo Presti, Patrick Macfarlane, Joel E. Mann, Leanne McNamara, Eric Nelson, Susan Prince, Amneris Roselli, Ralph M. Rosen, Laurence Totelin, Philip van der Eijk.

"La collection Studies in Ancient Medicine accueille depuis plusieurs années les actes des sessions successives du Congrès Hippocratique International, lancé pour la première fois en 1972. Lâintérêt dâune telle entreprise éditoriale suivie est double : lâensemble, plutôt conséquent, constitue désormais une somme érudite qui témoigne à la fois de la richesse du domaine et du renouveau que les études hippocratiques ont connu au cours des deux dernières décennies â on pourra plus globalement parler du regain dâintérêt à lâégard des textes médicaux de lâAntiquité ; la récurrence de cette publication contribue à créer et à renforcer une véritable communauté scientifique qui, par lâintermédiaire de telles publications, construit sur le long terme un savoir partagé et vivant." Frédéric Le Blay, Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2016.11.11.
