Hippocrates of Cos, universally recognized as the father of Western medicine, revolutionized the art of healing by basing it on reason, observation, and science, freeing medicine from superstition and divine causality. He viewed the human body as a unified whole and emphasized the importance of lifestyle, environment, and diet in achieving good health.
This piece pays tribute to the enduring legacy of Hippocrates and the Hippocratic Corpus, a body of work that laid the foundations of clinical medicine through the systematic recording of symptoms and treatments. Guided by the timeless principle “to do good, or at least to do no harm,” his teachings continue to influence medical practice worldwide.
A powerful symbol of medical history and ethics, the Hippocratic Oath remains a cornerstone of professional conduct to this day—making this item a meaningful acquisition for collectors, historians, and medical professionals alike.
