The Great Physicians of the Middle Ages

Jacques dubois was a member of the paris medical faculty from 15 36 to 15 55. Dubois preferred greek authors, as when he produced a catalogue of diseases that drew on galon and hippocrates rather than the so called arabs. Even more extreme in his classicism was giom de bau who lived into the second decade of the seventeenth century. His work on epidemic diseases was so closely based on hippocrates that he sprinkled the latter's original vocabulary into the text.
