How were early modern doctors supposed to include ancient medical authorities like Hippocrates and Galen in their own work? The modern history of medicine had to ask itself this question in the nineteenth century as it wrangled with philology for the right to edit medical texts. This work reveals how modern doctors read "the ancients": as medicine’s ancestors, as the authors of founding texts, as colleagues.
