DUTCH CONFERENCE ON ANCIENT MEDICINE
FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT
Leiden, Friday, 10 December, 2004

Anglo-Dutch Wellcome Symposium on Ancient Medicine
'The Hippocratic Tradition Reconsidered'

Aim of the Conference:

In 1979 Wesley D. Smith (Philadelphia) published The Hippocratic Tradition. Now, 25 years later, the moment has come to reconsider the questions he has raised, in the light of recent research. How were the Hippocratic Tradition, and the Hippocratic Myth, formed subsequently? How did it work? It is time to reconsider the formation of the Hippocratic Tradition in the light of recent research from Mesopotamian and Egyptian medicine onwards, until the 18th century, the last century when Hippocratic medicine still had actual relevance in Western society. The relationship to the medical practice and theory of the Egyptian and the Mesopotamian world should be considered in view of the traditional claims that Hippocratic medicine has been superior to them in attitude and method.

The following topics will be addressed:

I. Before 'Hippocrates'
- Ancient Egyptian Medicine
- Ancient Mesopotamian Medicine

II. Hippocrates
- The Concept of Hippocratic Medicine as Such in the Greek World

III. After Hippocrates
- Galen
- The Medieval Arab World
- Medieval Western Europe
- The Renaissance
- The Eighteenth Century

Organising Committee:
Harm Beukers, History of Medicine, Universiteit Leiden.
Manfred Horstmanshoff, Ancient History, Universiteit Leiden, in co-operation with Philip van der Eijk, Department of Classics, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, and Helen King, Department of Classics, University of Reading

Philip van der Eijk, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, Greek, 'Hippocratic Medicine — Is There Such a Thing?'.
Elizabeth Craik, University of St. Andrews, 'Parallel passages in the Hippocratic Corpus: horizontal transmission in an incipient tradition'.
Vivian Nutton, The Wellcome Trust Centre for the History of Medicine at University College London, 'Galenic Consequences'
Remke Kruk, Universiteit Leiden, Arabic, 'Patterns of Medical Biographies in Ibn abi Usaybi'a's Tabaqât al-atibbâ'.

Helen King, University of Reading, Classics, Moderator.
Manfred Horstmanshoff, Universiteit Leiden, Ancient History, Moderator.
Wesley D. Smith, The University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, 'Concluding remarks' .

The abstracts and papers will be pre-circulated. The maximum length of time for delivery of every paper, discussion included, is 30 minutes. We plan to publish the presented papers in a volume: Hippocrates, Before and After. The Hippocratic Tradition 3000 BC-1800 AD.

Location of the meeting:
As a venue for the symposium a place of historical interest has been chosen: the castle Oud Poelgeest, near Leiden, where Herman Boerhaave, the Dutch Hippocrates, ca. 1725 has lived and has founded a herb garden: http://www.oudpoelgeest.nl/

FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT & CALL FOR PAPERS
XIIth Colloquium Hippocraticum
Universiteit Leiden, 24, 25 and 26 August, 2005
'Medical Education'

Training of doctors, midwives, and other medical professionals and amateurs; teaching in theory and practice; the role of the oral and written tradition in medicine; the role of medicine in general education; the social status of teachers and pupils; the influence of ancient medicine in later medical education; such are only a few of the possible topics that come readily to the mind when one thinks of education in ancient medicine.

The XIIth Colloquium Hippocraticum will be dedicated to the theme of medical education in Antiquity and the way in which it contributed to the medical education in later periods. We invite proposals for papers but we are also looking for scholars willing to organize a panel about relevant themes. Contributions by young scholars are very welcome. Specialists in other medical traditions and medical anthropologists are especially encouraged to participate in order to stimulate the comparative perspective.

We envisage three main fields of interest:

I. Philosophy
Theory and practice, empiricism, experiments, theoretical concepts.

II. Practice
Schools, sects, the formation of the curriculum, theory and practice, the formation of the canon, literacy and orality, status of masters and pupils, anatomy, handbooks, catechism (questions/answers), access to training and education.

III. Tradition
The role of tradition in medical education, the role of commentaries

Proposals for papers (max. 1 A4, 30 minutes) and/or panel sessions may be submitted by 1 December 2004.

As a venue for the symposium a place of historical interest has been chosen: the castle Oud Poelgeest, near Leiden, where Herman Boerhaave, the Dutch Hippocrates, ca. 1725 lived and founded a herb garden. See http://www.oudpoelgeest.nl/
