8vo, herdcover; 272 pages; The Central Appennine peoples, alternatively represented as decadent and dangerous barbarians or as personifications of manly wisdom and virtue, were important figures in Greek and Roman ideology. This unique study considers the ways in which these perceptions developed--reflecting both the shifting needs of Greek and Roman societies and the character of interaction between the various cultures of ancient Italy--to illuminate the development of a specifically Roman identity through the creation of an ideology of incorporation.

Prima edizione veneta di questo celebre commento agli aforismi di Ippocrate. Gli aforismi sono sia in greco che in latino. I commenti, opera di alcuni cleberrimi medici e studiosi come Boerhaavi, Borelli, Bellini, Pitcarn, Sthal ed altri, sono in latino. Ippocrate di Cos o Kos (Coo, 460 a.C. circa – Larissa, 377 a.C. terminus ante quem) è stato un medico, geografo e aforista greco antico, considerato il padre della medicina. Egli rivoluzionò il concetto di medicina distinguendola da altri campi, tradizionalmente associata con la teurgia e la filosofia, stabilendo così la medicina come professione. In particolare, egli ebbe il merito di far avanzare notevolmente lo studio sistematico della medicina clinica, riassumendo le conoscenze mediche delle scuole precedenti e di descrivere le pratiche per i medici attraverso il Corpus Hippocraticum e altre opere. Buon esemplare.
