Extract

In the following pages the Repertorium of Hippocratic Writings in the Latin Middle Ages, begun in Traditio 31 (1975) 99–126 and continued in succeeding issues, concludes with a number of brief tracts. These are for the most part spurious, but they circulated under the name of Hippocrates of Cos and appear to have reflected aspects of the Hippocratic tradition. They comprise: XLVI. Regimen sanitatis (salutis); XLVII. Secreta (Practicae) de curis universalibus totius corporis humani; XLVIII. Secreta (Signa sanitatis et signa mortis); XLIX. De septimanis; L. De situ regionum; LI. De minis; LII. De victus ratione; LIII. De visitatione infirmorum; LIV. De vita; and LV. De vulneribus capitis.
