Hippocratic Canon, is a collection of around seventy early medical works from ancient Greece strongly associated with the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates and his teachings. They are, however, varied in content, age and style, and are largely of unknown authorship. Of the volumes in the Corpus, none is proven to be of Hippocrates' hand itself, though some sources say otherwise.
