HISTORY OF MEDICINE

Greek medical terminology: Its beginning during the neo-hellenic enlightenment

D. KARABEROPOULOS
Hellenic Association on the History of Pediatrics, Athens, Greece

The writers on medical subjects during the period of neo-hellenic enlightenment, in the second half of 18th century and the two pro-revolutionary decades, tried to create medical terms during the transfer of new medical knowledge from Europe to the Greek region. Since that time these medical terms have constituted the base of the Greek
medical terminology.

Key words: Medical terminology, Neo-hellenic enlightenment.
