Footnote
Note: Second Latin edition of the Works. Although generally based on the first Latin edition, prepared by Fabio Calvio and printed at Rome in 1525, this Basel edition is textually more complete. Hippocrates first established an empirical system of medicine based on a combination of bedside experience and a collation of the many individual data which then formed the bases of clinical teaching. The clinical descriptions of fevers, phthisis, puerperal convulsions, epilepsy and other disorders have remained classics and no such records were kept again for over a thousand years.
