SORANUS

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 430 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SIV-SOU
SORANUS , Greek physician, born at Ephesus, lived during the reigns of Trajan and Hadrian (A.D. 98-138). According to Suidas, he practised in Alexandria and subsequently in Rome. He was the
chief
  representative of the school of physicians known as " methodists." Two
treatises
  by him are extant : On Fractures (in J. L.
Ideler
 , Physici et medici minores, i. 1841) and On Diseases of Women (first published in 1838, later by V. Rose, in 1882, with a 6th-century Latin
translation
  by Moschio, a physician of the same school). Of his most important
work
  (On Acute and Chronic Diseases) only a few fragments in Greek remain, but we possess a complete Latin
translation
  by Caelius Aurelianus (5th century). The Life of Hippocrates (in
Ideler
 ) probably formed one of the collection of medical
biographies
  by Soranus referred to by Suidas, and is valuable as the only authority for the life of the
great
  physician, with the exception of articles in Suidas and Stephanus of Byzantium (s.v. Kws). The Introduction to the Science of
Medicine
  (V. Rose, Anecdota graeca, ii. 1870) is considered spurious.
See article by J. Hahn, in Dechambre's Dictionnaire encyclopedique des sciences medicates, 3rd
series
 , torn. 10; W. Christ, Geschichte der griechischen Litteratur (1898) ; J. Ilberg, Die Uberlieferung der Gynaekologie des Soranos von Ephesos (
Leipzig
 , 1910).
