1839384841839. Pettigrew's Med. Portr. Gall. 3/ 7. - London published by Whittaker Co. 1839 115 x 95 auf 26 x 175 cm; 12 pp. Biography. Hippocrates 460-377 B.C. Greek physician. "The engraving which accompanies this memoir is from the bust in the British Museum which was found near Albano amongst some ruins supposed to have been the villa of Marcus Varro. It offers a very fine specimen of Greek art. It is conjectured to be the head of Hippocrates as it corresponds with that on a medal which was in the collection of Fluvius Ursinus and engraved in 1606 in the "Illustrium Imagines" and said to have been struck in honour of the great physician by the people of Cos. The bust appears to have been taken at an advanced age probably not less that eighty years and he is represented bald which agrees with the description given of him by Soranus his biographer. The were similar busts in the Capitoline Museum in the French collection at the Villa Albani and in Mr. R.P. Knight's collection." Pettigrew unknown
