P. Oxy. LXXX contains texts studied in the course of the project New Medical Texts from Oxyrhynchus (2007-10), funded by the Wellcome Trust. These include known medical texts by Hippocrates, Dioscorides and Galen, but also new material: texts from 1st to 3rd/4th centuries on acute diseases, medical recipes, surgical texts, and doctors' reports.
Research in the area of Greco-Roman medicine continues to blosssom, and this volume from the Oxyrhynchus series is not only a boon to that endeavor but also for historical and manuscript studies in general. As with the other volumes in the series, this themed volume is produced with remarkable quality of scholarship and attention to detail. The analyses of these papyri demonstrate both the expertise of the editors and their love for the subject matter. --W. Andrew Smith, Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2016.03.36
