Review
...Longriggs decades of scholarly research are apparent in his commentaries and synopses, for he has mastered all the sources.
–IsisAn important source book not only for specialists but for anyone desiring an overview of medical issues reflected in Greek medical texts and literature from Homer to the Alexandrians. The chpater divisions reflect the extant themes of the ancient medical treatises, especially those attributed to Hippocratic authors, such as physiology, regimen, surgery, gynecology and anatomy. There is a very useful glossary of terms included in an appendix. This text will be a great adjunct to readings of the Hippocratic texts.

This collection of sources, together with careful analyses of the evidence presented, well reveals the world's first systems for medicine as a rational science for healing and health. There is a wide-ranging collection of sources displaying something of the breadth of knowledge of Greek physicians, especially during the classical and Hellenistic periods, as physicians discovered that divine causation was an ineffective method for understanding illness. The study is based chronologically, with chapters devoted to specific topics such as gynecology, surgery, medical ethics, professional behavior, and dietetics. I recommend it highly.
