title: [Disclosure of ancient medical tests and its problems--the Corpus Medicorum Graecorum et Latinorum. Accomplished and planned goals].
abstract: The interacademical project "Corpus Medicorum Graecorum", started in 1907 in Berlin, reflects the evolution of the classical philologists' approach to ancient medicine. The Corpus was meant to make available reliable critical editions of the ancient medical texts to historians of science as indispensable tools for their research work. The work done to realize this purpose has shown, however, that the whole primary and secondary tradition of these texts must be taken into consideration. The translations into modern languages and the commentaries included in the more recent volumes should help to make accessible the ancient texts to as many interested persons as possible.
