Hippocratic Corpus

The Hippocratic Corpus (Latin: Corpus Hippocraticum) is an accumulation of around seventy early medicinal works from Alexandrian Greece.[52] It is composed in Ionic Greek. The topic of whether Hippocrates himself was the writer of the corpus has not been decisively answered,[53] but rather the volumes were likely delivered by his understudies and followers.[54] Because of the assortment of subjects, composing styles and obvious date of development, researchers trust Hippocratic Corpus couldn't have been composed by one individual (Ermerins numbers the writers at nineteen).[30] The corpus was credited to Hippocrates in days of yore, and its educating for the most part took after his standards; accordingly it came to be known by his name. It may be the remaining parts of a library of Kos, or an accumulation incorporated in the third century BC in Alexandria.[14][34]

The Hippocratic Corpus contains course books, addresses, research, notes and philosophical expositions on different subjects in prescription, in no specific order.[53][55] These works were composed for various gatherings of people, both authorities and laymen, and were here and there composed from restricting perspectives; noteworthy inconsistencies can be found between works in the Corpus.[56] Notable among the treatises of the Corpus are The Hippocratic Oath; The Book of Prognostics; On Regimen in Acute Diseases; Aphorisms; On Airs, Waters and Places; Instruments of Reduction; On The Sacred Disease; etc.[30]
