be regarded as spurious except _Epidemics_, books i. and iii. (with a few interpolations), _On Airs, Waters, and Places_, _On Injuries of the Head_ ("insigne fragmentum libri Hippocratei"), the former portion of the treatise _On Regimen in Acute Diseases_, and the "obviously Hippocratic" fragments of the _Coan Prognostics_. Perhaps also the _Oath_ may be accepted as genuine; its comparative antiquity is not denied. The _Aphorisms_ are certainly later and inferior. In the other non-Hippocratic writings Ermerins thinks he can distinguish the hands of no fewer than nineteen different authors, most of them anonymous, and some of them very late. The earliest Greek edition of the Hippocratic writings is that which was published by Aldus and Asulanus at Venice in 1526 (folio); it was speedily followed by that of Frobenius, which is much more accurate and complete (fol., Basel, 1538). Of the numerous subsequent editions, probably the best was that of Foesius (Frankfort, 1595, 1621, Geneva, 1657), until the publication of the great works of Littre, _Oeuvres completes d'Hippocrate, traduction nouvelle avec le texte grec en regard, collationnee sur les manuscrits et toutes les editions, accompagnee d'une introduction, de commentaires medicaux, de variantes, et de notes philologiques_ (10 vols., Paris, 1839-1861), and of F. Z. Ermerins, _Hippocratis et aliorum medicorum veterum reliquiae_ (3 vols., Utrecht, 1859-1864). See also Adams (as cited above), and Reinhold's _Hippocrates_ (2 vols., Athens, 1864-1867). Daremberg's edition of the _Oeuvres choisies_ (2nd ed., Paris, 1855) includes the _Oath_, the _Law_, the _Prorrhetics_, book i., the _Prognostics, On Airs, Waters, and Places, Epidemics_, books i. and iii., _Regimen_, and _Aphorisms_. Of the separate works attributed to Hippocrates the editions and translations are almost innumerable; of the _Prognostics_, for example, seventy editions are known, while of the _Aphorisms_ there are said to exist as many as three hundred. For some notice of the Arabic, Syriac and Hebrew translations of works professedly by Hippocrates (Ibukrat or Bukrat), the number of which greatly exceeds that of the extant Greek originals, reference may be made to Flugel's contribution to the article "Hippokrates" in the _Encyklopadie_ of Ersch and Gruber. They have been partially catalogued by Fabricius in his _Bibliotheca Graeca_. (J. B. T.)
