Writings attributed to Hippocrates, about sixty in number, written in the Ionian dialect of Greek, have survived to the present, in Greek, with French translations, residing in a 19th century ten-volume work by the French scholar, Émile Littré, completed in 1862. [1] Littré ((Maximilien-)Paul-Émile Littre) received education in medicine and in numerous languages, including Greek, Latin, German, English and Sanskrit, and, as discussed above, gained repute for his lexicographic work, a scholarly dictionary of the French language, considered “….one of the outstanding lexicographic accomplishments of all time.” [2]
Jouanna states that ".... Despite the progress made by Hippocratic philology over the last one hundred years, the Littré edition [of the Hippocratic writings] has not yet been entirely superseded. " [1]
