"The Genuine Works of Hippocrates, Vol. 1 (of 2)" translated by Francis Adams is a historical medical text written in the late 19th century. This translation aims to provide access to the authentic writings of Hippocrates, often regarded as the "Father of Medicine," along with annotations and discussions that contextualize his doctrines for contemporary readers. The work addresses the intricacies of ancient Greek medicine and the evolution of medical knowledge attributed to Hippocrates's insights. At the start of the volume, the translator elaborates on the intentions behind the translation and the challenges of interpreting ancient texts, highlighting the necessity of commentary to elucidate Hippocrates's ideas, which can be obscure due to the brevity and conciseness of his language. The translator indicates that many ancient medical practices, as well as Hippocrates's biography, will be addressed, establishing the foundation for understanding his medical philosophy. Additionally, the preliminary discourse sets the stage for a systematic examination of Hippocratic texts, discussing the critical evaluation of medical literature's authenticity, which accentuates the historical significance of Hippocrates's contributions to the medical field.
