Glosse mediche (embriologiche) nel Lessico di Esichio: una ricognizione

2022
Lo studio prende in considerazione l’alto numero di occorrenze del termine ὁδός e di alcuni suoi composti (tra cui ad esempio δίοδος e περίοδος) presenti nel Corpus ippocratico, e in particolare in un gruppo di trattati (Generazione/Natura del bambino; libro IV delle Malattie; libro I delle Malattie delle donne; Ghiandole) che presentano comuni caratteristiche dal punto di vista teorico, lessicale e delle forme dell’espressione del pensiero medico scientifico. L’uso di detta terminologia per definire le “vie del corpo umano” e i fluidi che vi scorrono (in primo luogo sangue e sperma) sembra rimandare ad una concezione dell’anatomia e della fisiologia umana comune ai trattati considerati.
