HISTORY OF MEDICINE

Distribution of 2590 articles
of the Hellenic Bibliography of History of Medicine

D. KARABEROPOULOS
International Hippocratic Foundation of Kos, Athens, Greece

This article presents the distribution of the 2590 titles of publications in the "Hellenic Bibliography of History of Medicine, 1750–2000", which were collected by researching books, journals and volumes of congress up to January 2003. In this distribution a progressive increase is observed of publication in the field of the History of Medicine, which became quite high during the two final decades of the 20th century, probably as a result of teaching the History of Medicine at the University of Athens and other Greek Universities. Another significant finding is the increase in the percentage of publications of the most recent history of medicine in Greece, publications referring to ancient and byzantine medicine, which were more common during previous decades.

Key words: Hellenic bibliography, History of Medicine.
