The definitive Giunta edition of the best-known work by Hippocrates (460-370 BCE). Edited with commentary by Giacomo (or Jacopo) da Forlì (d. 1414), this enlarged, improved version is the best edition of the Aphorisms published up to that point (Camerini). It was printed as part of the series of da Forlì's works, which also included his commentaries on Galen and Avicenna. The Aphorisms, translated into Latin by two Humanist scholars, Theodorus Gaza and Nicoll Leoniceno, represent "those remarkable clinical jottings (Garrison) and precise clinical observations, with the diagnoses and prognoses for various diseases. Some of the diseases are described here for the first time, such as chronic renal disease, and many of the accounts are still valid.

About Rodger Friedman Rare Book Studio

Rodger Friedman Rare Book Studio owes its name and its inspiration to the traditional Italian studio bibliografico. These small antiquarian bookshops, typically run by individuals who combine deep scholarship with a love of the printed object, remind us that underlying the words "study" and "studio" is the Latin term for zeal and devotion, studium. Since 1993, my goal has been to match discerning collectors with extraordinary books and manuscripts.
