Hippocrate - Hippocratis aphorismi, variorum auctorum - 1756

Charming edition of this scholarly 18th-century print that gathers the famous Aphorisms of Hippocrates, a fundamental text of ancient medicine, enriched by the comments of various authors who seek to clarify its meaning and adapt it to modern medical practices.

The work presents itself as a critical and scholarly edition, where each Hippocratic sentence — brief, dense, and expressed in a laconic style — is accompanied by glosses, philological explanations, and therapeutic discussions, demonstrating the continuity of the Greco-Latin medical tradition in Europe of the Enlightenment.

It reflects the importance of Aphorisms as a normative corpus, where medicine is conceived as the art of observing signs, predicting crises, and guiding treatment according to nature, and where the conciseness of the ancient text lends itself to durable transmission.
