"La collection Studies in Ancient Medicine accueille depuis plusieurs années les actes des sessions successives du Congrès Hippocratique International, lancé pour la première fois en 1972. L’intérêt d’une telle entreprise éditoriale suivie est double : l’ensemble, plutôt conséquent, constitue désormais une somme érudite qui témoigne à la fois de la richesse du domaine et du renouveau que les études hippocratiques ont connu au cours des deux dernières décennies – on pourra plus globalement parler du regain d’intérêt à l’égard des textes médicaux de l’Antiquité ; la récurrence de cette publication contribue à créer et à renforcer une véritable communauté scientifique qui, par l’intermédiaire de telles publications, construit sur le long terme un savoir partagé et vivant."
