Anonymi Medici De Morbis Acutis Et Chroniis: De Morbis Acutis Et Chroniis (Studies in Ancient Medicine, Vol 12)

This volume provides a complete critical edition of the first-century Greek medical work on acute and chronic diseases, by an anonymus writer commonly known as "Anonymous Parisinus Darembergii sive Fuchsii". The work contains interesting topics on medical doxography (Hippocrates, Erasistratus, Diocles, Praxagoras) and sophisticated therapy of the imperial period (diatetic measures, physiotherapeutical treatment). This edition includes an introduction, a critical text with apparatus and an English translation, accompanied by a commentary on textual linguistic and factual problems. There is an index of Greek words and an index of drugs and foods.
