Publisher Description

Hippocrates (460-370 B.C.) is one of the best known of the Ancient Greeks, and his Hippocratic Oath is still in use today. An ancient Greek physician of the Age of Pericles and the Golden Age of Athens, Hippocrates is considered one of the most outstanding figures in the history of medicine, known simply as the Father of Western medicine in recognition of his lasting contributions to the field as the founder of the Hippocratic School of medicine. This intellectual school revolutionized medicine in ancient Greece, establishing it as a discipline distinct from other fields that it had traditionally been associated with (notably theurgy and philosophy), thus establishing medicine as a profession. 

Hippocrates is best remembered today for the Hippocratic Oath, which is still used by doctors today as the oath by which they treat patients. 

This edition of the Hippocratic Oath is specially formatted with a Table of Contents and includes pictures of Hippocrates.
