The papers listed here have been derived from my new translations of Hippocratic works found in volume 2 of The Natural State of Medical Practice, subtitled Hippocratic Evidence.  As a group they provide further confirmation of the scientific nature of Hippocratic physicians, thus supporting the conclusion that prominence of ancient Greece, at least in medicine, resided in the freedom of early plebeian practitioners to organize and thereby to improve and promote their profession.
