The Aphorisms Of Hippocrates: And The Sentences Of Celsus, With Explanations And References To The Most Considerable Writers In Physic And Philosophy,

The Aphorisms of Hippocrates and the Sentences of Celsus is a book that was first published in 1708. It is a collection of the most significant aphorisms and sentences of two ancient Greek physicians, Hippocrates and Celsus. The book includes explanations and references to the most notable writers in both medicine and philosophy, both from ancient times and modern. The book is divided into two parts. The first part contains the aphorisms of Hippocrates, which are short statements that express a general truth or principle about medicine. These aphorisms cover a wide range of topics, including the causes and symptoms of diseases, the importance of diet and exercise, and the role of the physician in treating patients. The second part of the book contains the sentences of Celsus, which are longer statements that provide more detailed explanations of medical concepts. Celsus was a Roman physician who lived in the first century AD, and his sentences cover many of the same topics as the aphorisms of Hippocrates. Throughout the book, the author provides explanations and references to other writers in medicine and philosophy, both ancient and modern. This makes the book a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of medicine or the development of medical ideas over time. Overall, The Aphorisms of Hippocrates and the Sentences of Celsus is an important work in the history of medicine, providing insights into the ideas and practices of two of the most influential physicians of the ancient world.To Which Are Added, Aphorisms Upon The Smallpox Measles, And Other Distempers, Not So Well Known To Former More Temperate Ages.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
