"In fifth-century BCE Greece Hippocrates put forward his clinical observations in a collection of texts known as the Hippocratic Corpus. The jewels of the Corpus were seven books known as Epidemics. In The Invention of Medicine, acclaimed historian Robin Lane Fox sheds new light on these texts and upends our understanding of two thousand years of medical history by establishing that the Epidemics was written much earlier than previously thought. It's long been thought that Hippocrates's work was informed by drama, poetry, philosophy, and other arts; but Hippocrates's writing predates this, and Lane Fox inverts our ideas about such influence and the relationship between the arts and the sciences, showing that medicine is the lynchpin between these two categories of Western knowledge" (Source : éditeur)
