The work of the greatest physician of antiquity, Hippocrates, is a milestone in the global history of Medicine, as he laid the foundation for the era of scientific medicine, as we understand it today. Especially the texts that refer to the ethics and deontology of medicine still maintain their crucial character today, developing issues and dilemmas that concern medicine and doctors more than ever. The famous Hippocratic Oath, which doctors around the world recite upon graduation, is the essence of the wisdom and sense of responsibility of this great physician.

A collection of books important for every modern medical scientist. No matter how much medicine evolves, even if it has essentially moved away from many of Hippocrates' theories, his ethical background and his way of asking questions based on patient observation remain central concerns in this great science.

Each volume includes the original ancient text, its translation into modern Greek, as well as an introduction/commentary.
