POTTER, Paul – Professor Emeritus, Western University
Paul Potter has spent over forty years studying the medieval Greek manuscripts containing the ancient writings attributed to Hippocrates of Cos, sometimes referred to as the “Father of medicine”. On the basis of this work, Potter has edited the original text and provided an accompanying English translation of a considerable portion of the Hippocratic Collection in five volumes of the bilingual Loeb Classical Library published by Harvard University Press.
