Review by Lee Pearcy, The Episcopal Academy, of Hippocrates: Pseudepigraphic Writings: Letters-Embassy-Speech from the Altar-Decree, by Wesley D. Smith, and Hippocrates in a World of Pagans and Christians, by Owsei Temkin, at Bryn Mawr Classical Review.
"Smith’s title promises us a philological parergon to his important study of the development of the Hippocratic Corpus (The Hippocratic Question, 1979). Temkin, at first glance, offers a general study of the reputation of Hippocrates in late antiquity, a companion to his Galenism: Rise and Decline of a Medical Philosophy (1973) and a development of his 'Geschichte des Hippokratismus im ausgehenden Altertum' (Kyklos 4:1932, 1-80). Both these first impressions are somewhat misleading."
See Hippocrates, Hippocratic Writings, in Great Books of the Western World (first edition, 54 Vol., 1952) volume 10, (second edition, 60 Vol., 1990) volume 9.
