	Hippocrates - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Writings attributed to him (Corpus hippocraticum, or "Hippocratic writings") rejected the superstition and magic of primitive "medicine" and laid the foundations of medicine as a branch of science.
		Other Hippocratic writings associated personality traits with the relative abundance of the four humours in the body: phlegm, yellow bile, fl bile, and blood, and was a major influence on Galen and later on medieval medicine.
		The Hippocratic Corpus is a collection of about sixty treatises, most written between 430 BC and AD 200.

	Hippocratic Corpus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Hippocratic Corpus is a library, or rather, the remains of a library.
		Although the island home Cos of Hippocrates is located within what was a Doric speaking region, the medical writers of Cos who developed the Hippocratic treatises appropriated the dialect of philosophy, that is Ionic Greek.
		The use of Ionic instead of the native Doric dialect is analogous to the practice of Renaissance scientists, such as Andreas Vesalius, using Latin instead of the vernacular for their treatises.

	EXplorations in Medicine
		Galen's enthusiasm for certain texts in the Hippocratic Corpus was crucial to the continuing interest later physicians took in Hippocrates and his writings, and Hippocratic texts were copied in sufficient numbers to survive into Byzantine times and be reimported into the West during the Renaissance.
		Hippocratic Medicine In common with other intellectuals in the Greek city-states, Hippocratics are interested in ethnography and far-away places and peoples, in epidemic diseases and plagues, in the origins of man and embryology, and in valetudinarian dietetics.
		Hippocratics know how to speak the language of science, and they are certainly the first in the Western tradition to write medical science in a form that has survived to our time.

		One of its earliest specimens is the Hippocratic tract Ancient Medicine by an anonymous 5th century physician devoted to traditional lore and technique, though familiar with contemporary theory.

		Physicians who followed the Hippocratic method attributed chronic disease to the imbalance of one of four humors in the body.(4) The text The Nature of Man discusses these humors--blood, yellow bile, fl bile, and phlegm-- and the necessity of balancing them to maintain health.
		The Hippocratic physician could not see the inner machinery of the body on a regular basis, and even if he could poke around the chest cavity of a patient for some time, he had no knowledge of physiology.(15) The physician had to infer from the outside world what might be happening inside the human body.
		One of the most interesting cases is that of the boy who was kicked in the head by a horse.(25) The physician would first examine the wound with a metal probe; a sanitary procedure if the probes were kept clean.

	The Hippocratic Humoural Theory
		The Hippocratic humoural theory of disease remains one of the most important, and often misunderstood concepts in the Hippocratic Corpus.
		Some thinkers who were more influenced by Empedocles (whose interests included not only philosophy, but medicine as well) never modified the latter's original formulation, but simply retained the original philosophical idea of fire, air, water and earth as the fundamental components of the body with disease being an excess of one over the other(s).
		Hippocratic physicians carefully observed the natural progression of disease in their patients and made inductive inferences from these observations.

		An essential orientation to the Corpus is an appreciation of the audience for which the various works were intended.
		Experimentation obviously played its role in the Hippocratic view of medicine, because the individual approach to disease as exemplified in the case histories of EPIDEMICS I, though basic and undeveloped, is nothing more than experimentation.
		Ludwig Edelstein commented in his important work on the oath (THE HIPPOCRATIC OATH, 1943) that the high morality and ethics of this document were not true of the 5th century B.C. but were the result of the infusion of philosophical precepts (mainly Pythagorean) of the end of the 4th century B.C. and later.

	Perspectives on the Professions
		Veneration for the Hippocratic "corpus" (the collected works of Hippocrates and his followers) was part of the Renaissance rediscovery of classical texts.
		In 1525 and 1526, authoritative Latin and Greek versions of the Hippocratic corpus were published, and academic medical institutions began to teach Hippocratic moral precepts, in particular the oath, thereby cementing the identification of medical professionalism with fiduciary obligations to the sick.
		In medicine, therefore, being a member of a "liberal profession", that is, a profession that demanded literacy and thus some form of education, was identified with the idea of taking on (by oath) moral obligations beyond those of an ordinary gentleman.

		Despite the burgeoning of interest in these periods, modern scholarship has only recently begun to see Oribasius, Aetius of Amida, and other medical authors as part of the literary and intellectual culture of their times and to evaluate the role of medical ideas in the thought of Plotinus, Origen, and other non-medical figures.
		In the Hippocratic Corpus, the gods get no more than their due; they ordered the nature of all things, as the author of Regimen I says, but in the art and practice of medicine they played only a small part.
		The variety of authors and medical theories represented in the Hippocratic Corpus and the willingness of later writers to see in the Corpus foreshadowings of their own ideas make precise definition impossible; even so, when we read on p.

		One of the things that set the Hippocratic doctors apart from previous medical work was their 'scientific' approach to health and disease.
		A good example of this distinction ins the Hippocratic view of epilepsy: the Hippocratic treatise dealing with epilepsy is titled On the Sacred Disease, since epilepsy had been (and continued to be) considered an affliction sent by the gods.
		However much of an advance the Hippocratic approach may have been over prior medical approaches, we should not be confused into thinking this was true science in the 5th century BCE.
