references: Heirs of Hippocrates [682 : "Preceded only by the works of S. Champier and M. Donati in the sixteenth century, this was the most complete and reliable work on the history of medicine to follow and may still be consulted with profit. The first edition was published in 1696 and, after the second edition had been exhausted.
