1800 €

First edition of this important translation from greek to latin of the Hippocratic corpus.
Remains the reference until its replacement by the French edition of Littre [1839-1861].

The Hippocrates works are a set of sixty text written between 450 and 350 bc.
During the sixteenth century, scholars have gradually given rise to the Hippocratic Corpus in Latin, which was current until its replacement by the French edition of Littre [1839-1861].

The editions that enabled this achievement are the first editions in Latin (1525 in Rome) and Greek (1526, Aldus), which led to the discovery of manuscripts hitherto virtually unknown.
Then came the Basel editions of 1538 and 1546 (Froben) that led to the systematic correction of many first editions.
Finally, in 1595, the doctor of Metz Anuce Foes (1528-1595) printed this important bilingual edition that became the reference until the Littré works 250 years later.

Fresh copy of this rare and important edition of the works of Hippocrate.
