The definitive English edition of the “Father of Medicine.” This is the third volume in the Loeb Classical Library’s complete edition of Hippocrates’ invaluable texts, which provide essential information about the practice of medicine in antiquity and about Greek theories concerning the human body. The five treatises in this volume, integral parts of the Hippocratic collection, are devoted to the art of surgery in treating injuries or disorders of the bones and their articulations. Wounds in the Head includes an anatomical introduction and many methods useful in diagnosis, prognosis, and management; In the Surgery surveys the surgeon’s office, staff, equipment, and general practice; Fractures and Joints deliver technical information with rhetorical flair; and Instruments of Reduction (Mochlicon) is a head-to-toe account of human bones, their injuries, and applicable treatments.
