Scientific Abstract

This application by a medical historian seeks initial funding to compile the historical sources nessesary to study the perception of the ancient hippocratic treatise On the Sacred Disease by scholars and physicians of the 19th and 20th century, nowadays regarded as one of the most iconic ancient texts defining the ‘rational’ core of the Western medical tradition. If the research question proves feasible, a DFG project proposal will follow.
