On Intercourse and Pregnancy: An English Translation of On Semen and On the Development of the Child
by Hippocrates, Tage U. H. Ellinger (Translator), Alan F. Guttmacher (Contributor)
AMONG the seventy titles which together form the book collection known as the Hippocratic Corpus, the two which here for the first time are presented in an English translation, On Semen and On the Development of the Child, are of extraordinary interest. The text presents, in fact, the earliest preserved manuscript of a treatise on the physiology of reproduction, human embryology, heredity and allied topics, including a remarkable digression into the fields of plant growth and soil science (chapters 22-26).
