title: Teaching the Hippocratic gynaecological recipes?
abstract: This paper investigates whether the recipes preserved in the main gynaecological treatises--Diseases of Women 1 and 2, Barrenness and Nature of Women--may have been used as a teaching device. I ask two questions: first whether the recipes could have been included in oral lectures before being written down; and second whether the written recipes could have served as a basis for teaching.
