Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History of the Medical Teaching in Trinity College Dublin: And of the School of Physic in Ireland
In Egypt also medicine had reached a high state of development at the earliest time of which we have records. Of the Greeks, from whom most of our Western medicine is derived, we know nothing till many centuries after the date of the code of Hammurabi, but at the Siege of Troy, some five or Six centuries before the date of Hippocrates.
