Hippokrates Über die Umwelt [German]

By Hans Diller

Edited by the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities

The Corpora of ancient medicins (Corpus Medicorum Graecorum, Corpus Medicorum Latinorum) have the task of presenting the surviving writings of all Greek and Latin medical authors, including fragments from incomplete works, from the 5th century BC to the end of antiquity in text-critical editions with translations (optionally in German, English, French, Italian) and exhaustive indexes of names and words. The editions may be supplemented by commentaries that analyse the text from a factual, linguistic and text-critical perspective.
All known primary and secondary sources are analysed for the composition of the edited texts, which in their character as historical-critical editions provide reliable sources for the study of the history of ancient medicine. This refers on the one hand to the medieval manuscripts and early prints, and on the other hand to excerpts and translations in Latin, Arabic, Hebrew or Syriac. The editions are designed in such a way that they represent the scholarly authoritative editions on an international scale over a long period of time.
