Dr. Peter Lowe noted Scottish physician studied medicine in Paris and was influenced by Ambroise Pare. He served the Catholic forces of Philip II of Spain as a chirurgian major in 1590 Siege of Paris during the French Wars of Religion. Upon returning to Scotland Lowe was dismayed at the state of Scottish medicine. He petitioned and received a charter from James VI James I of England to found what became the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow. First published in 1597 the book was notable as the first comprehensive text of surgery written in English. In the book Lowe outlined a number of novel procedures in neurosurgery many dealing with military medicine. Lowe also wrote about the Spanish Sickness an early treatise on Syphilis. Also included is Lowe's English translation of the Prognostics of Hippocrates. See: Tubbs Maister Peter Lowe and His 16th Century Contributions to Cranial Surgery.

1526rif. 3111Venice: Aldine Press 1526. A fine and fresh copy of the editio princeps of the Hippocratic corpus a collection of texts assembled in the third century B.C. including the Hippocratic Oath and many of the foundation texts of western medicine traditionally attributed to the legendary physician and teacher Hippocrates of Cos. "It is uncertain which of them if any are directly connected with the historical physician Hippocrates of Cos who flourished in the latter half of the fifth century B.C. Through the writings attributed to him Hippocrates is credited with developing the first system of empirical medicine based on clinical experience and the Hippocratic Oath has long been regarded as expressing the fundamental ethical and moral standards of the medical profession" Grolier Medicine p. 3. The text was edited by Francesco Torresani using a fifteenth-century manuscript now in Paris BNF MS gr. 2141 with corrections provided by a second manuscript which belonged to Cardinal Bessarion Venice Bibliotheca Marciana MS gr. 269. This edition comprising 59 works includes some that were not included in the Latin translation by Marco Fabio Calvo published the previous year in Rome. "The Aldine Greek edition of Hippocrates marked a significant advance over Calvus’s Latin translation. As Franciscus Asulanus Francesco Torresani pointed out in his notice to the reader it repaired a considerable number of accidental omissions and one long repetition that Calvus. made because he followed only one manuscript. Moreover by presenting the original text it laid the necessary foundation for all further philological and medical study of the corpus" ibid.
