The medical literature of ancient Greece has been much studied during the 20th century, particularly from the 1970s on. In spite of this intense activity, the search for manuscripts still relies on the catalogue compiled in the early 1900s by a group of philologists led by the German historian of Greek philosophy and medicine Hermann Diels. However useful the so-called Diels has been and still is, it is now in need of a thorough revision. The present five-tome set is a first step in that direction. Tome 1 offers a reproduction of Diels’ catalogue with an index of the manuscripts. The following three tomes provide a reconstruction of the texts contained in the manuscripts listed in Diels on the basis of Diels’ catalogue. Proceeding as Diels did, these three tomes distinguish the manuscripts containing texts by (or attributed to) Hippocrates (tome 2), Galen (tome 3), and the other authors considered by Diels (tome 4). Tome 5 will list all the texts listed in Diels for each manuscript in the catalogue. The present work will be a reference for all scholars interested in Greek medical literature and manuscripts, in addition to historians of medicine, medical book, medical tradition, and medical culture.

Der griechische Arzt Soran aus Ephesos (ca. 100-140 n. Chr.), von dem neben Fragmenten zu medizinischen, sprachwissenschaftlichen und philosophischen Themen nur eine Schrift über die Frauenheilkunde vollständig überliefert ist, gehörte der philosophischen Schule der Methodiker an. So bewegt sich auch das Traktat Peri Psyches, das von Tertullian in De Anima als Quelle herangezogen wurde, auf der Grenze zwischen Physiologie und Philosophie. Trotz der Probleme, die aus dem fragmentarischen Zustand des Textes resultieren, vermittelt dieser einen Einblick in die Gesamtheit der Lehre des Arztes. Im Zentrum steht dabei für Soran die korpuskulare Physik. Die Seele begreift er als im Leib durch Kanäle verstreute, materielle Substanz, deren leitendes Vermögen sich im Herzen befindet. Sie nährt sich von stofflicher Nahrung, wächst, verkümmert und stirbt gleichzeitig mit dem Körper. Das Erkenntnisvermögen der Seele ist auf sensualistische Weise erklärt. Hier liegt die Bedeutung Sorans für die hellenistische Immanenzphilosophie, die er gegen die Einwände der Mittelplatoniker verteidigt.
