In Ancient Concepts of the Hippocratic, Lesley Dean-Jones and Ralph Rosen have gathered 19 international authorities in ancient medicine to identify commonalities among the treatises of the Hippocratic Corpus which led scholars of antiquity to group them under the single name of Hippocrates. Most recent scholarship has drawn attention to the divergences between individual treatises and groups of treatises, emphasizing the agonistic facet of the ancient medical profession. In contrast, in this volume contributors look to find points of agreement between the writings that go beyond claims of rationality. Topics considered include ontological claims about the discipline of medicine itself, the view of the patient as a perceiving unity, theories on the function of glands and the importance of regimen.

"La collection Studies in Ancient Medicine accueille depuis plusieurs années les actes des sessions successives du Congrès Hippocratique International, lancé pour la première fois en 1972. L’intérêt d’une telle entreprise éditoriale suivie est double : l’ensemble, plutôt conséquent, constitue désormais une somme érudite qui témoigne à la fois de la richesse du domaine et du renouveau que les études hippocratiques ont connu au cours des deux dernières décennies – on pourra plus globalement parler du regain d’intérêt à l’égard des textes médicaux de l’Antiquité ; la récurrence de cette publication contribue à créer et à renforcer une véritable communauté scientifique qui, par l’intermédiaire de telles publications, construit sur le long terme un savoir partagé et vivant."
