This collection of articles presents cutting-edge scholarship in Hippocratic studies in English from an international range of experts. It pays special attention to the commentary tradition, notably in Syriac and Arabic, and its relevance to the constitution and interpretation of works in the Hippocratic Corpus. It presents new evidence from hitherto unpublished sources, including Greek papyri and Syriac and Arabic manuscripts. It encompasses not only the classical period (and notably Galen), but also tackles evidence from the medieval and Renaissance periods.

"The published papers in this volume reflect his group’s multilingual and interlingual focus. But they do much more than this. The majority of the papers address three interconnected questions: (1) the boundary between an exegesis and an exposition; (2) how the genre of the source text influences the commentary (notably in the case of surgical texts); and (3) how commentary can serve to canonize an author, and stigmatize other views and interpretations. The result is a collection of essays that is remarkably coherent and focused. (...) Taken as a whole, this is a very satisfying volume, with a thematic unity both unusual in proceedings of this kind, and original." - Faith Wallis, in: BMCR, 2022.09.34
