While many have heard, and may often make reference to the Hippocratic Oath, few have actually ever read it, and even fewer know what it means or indeed know much of anything about the larger body of writings in which it is contained. This new edition of the Loeb Classical Library’s Hippocrates Volume 1 now makes a fresh translation of the Oath, as well as other important writings in the Hippocratic collection, available to all who would avail themselves of it.
