KlappentextThe medical literature of ancient Greece has been much studied during the 20th century, with a particular activity from the 1970s on. In spite of this intense activity, the search for Greek medical manuscripts still relies on the catalogues compiled in the early 20th century by a group of philologists led by the German historian of Greek philosophy and medicine Hermann Diels. However useful the so-called Diels has been and still is, it is now in need of a thorough revision. The present six-tome set is a first step in that direction. In tome 1 it offers a fac-simile reproduction of Diels´ catalogues with an index of all the manuscripts cited throughout the work. In the following three tomes, it provides a reconstruction of the text contained in the manuscripts listed in Diels on the basis of Diels´ catalogue. Proceeding as Diels did, these three tomes distinguish the manuscripts containing Hippocratic texts (2), Galenic texts (3) and all the other texts considered in Diels (4). Tome 5 sums up all the information about all texts in each manuscript and tome 6 offers a concordance of all citations of manuscripts in the 5 tomes, in addition to the index of the non-Greek manuscripts and addenda. The present work will be a reference for all scholars interested in Greek medical literature and manuscripts, as well as for any historian of medicine, medical book, medical tradition and medical culture.
