SORANUS , See also:

Greek physician, See also:born at See also:Ephesus, lived during the reigns of See also:Trajan and See also:Hadrian (A.D. 98-138). According to Suidas, he practised in See also:Alexandria and subsequently in See also:Rome. He was the See also:chief representative of the school of physicians known as " methodists." Two See also:treatises by him are extant : On Fractures (in J. L. See also:Ideler, Physici et See also:medici minores, i. 1841) and On Diseases of See also:Women (first published in 1838, later by V. See also:Rose, in 1882, with a 6th-See also:century Latin See also:translation by Moschio, a physician of the same school). Of his most important See also:work (On Acute and Chronic Diseases) only a few fragments in Greek remain, but we possess a See also:complete Latin translation by Caelius See also:Aurelianus (5th century). The See also:Life of See also:Hippocrates (in Ideler) probably formed one of the collection of medical See also:biographies by Soranus referred to by Suidas, and is valuable as the only authority for the life of the See also:great physician, with the exception of articles in Suidas and Stephanus of See also:Byzantium (s.v. Kws). The Introduction to the See also:Science of See also:Medicine (V.

Rose, Anecdota graeca, ii. 1870) is considered See also:

spurious. See See also:article by J. See also:Hahn, in Dechambre's Dictionnaire encyclopedique See also:des sciences medicates, 3rd See also:series, torn. 10; W. See also:Christ, Geschichte der griechischen Litteratur (1898) ; J. Ilberg, See also:Die Uberlieferung der Gynaekologie des Soranos von Ephesos (See also:Leipzig, 1910).
