title: [Phrenitis in the Hippocratic Corpus: a philological and medical study].
abstract: Phrenitis has a history, from Hippocrates to Pinel. This study is owed to two scholars of different disciplines; the first is a classicist, the other a psychiatrist. It only concerns "phrenitis" in the Hippocratic Corpus. The authors have come to the conclusion that phrenitis has a pathology similar to the organic delirium.
