PREFACE

rTIHE words and phrases cited in this work are either peculiar to the third Gospel and the Acts of the Apostles, or else, though not peculiar to them, are for the most part more frequently employed in these writings than in those of the other N. T . authors. The extant Greek medical writers from whom the examples of the medical use of such words are taken are Hippocrates, B. c. 4 6 0 - 3 5 7 ;

Aretaeus,

who lived in the first century after Christ, probably in the reign of Nero or Vespasian; Galen, A. D. 1 3 0 - 2 0 0 ; and Dioscorides, who lived in the first or second century of the Christian era. The edition of these writers quoted is that of Kiihn (Leipsic 1821—30). Hippocrates is quoted by the Sections of Foesius; Aretaeus, by those of the Ed. Oxon., both of which are given in Dioscorides,

by the usual division

Kiihn;

of chapters.

PREFACE.

Till

Galen's works are so extensive, occupying twentyone volumes in Kiihn's edition, that they have been quoted by the volume and page

(appended in

brackets), as well as by the titles and sections of the several treatises. In order to bring the work within reasonable bounds, it was found necessary that the number of examples of the medical use of a word should not, in any case, exceed ten ; in many instances they could be cited indefinitely.

The few cases

in which they are not of very frequent use in the medical authors have been noticed under the words, and the examples have, generally speaking, been taken, as far as possible, from all the medical

authors,

to

show the

continuous

and

varied use of the words in medical language.

An

asterisk has been prefixed to those words which are peculiar to the third Gospel and the Acts of the Apostles,

and also to a few words, which,

though not peculiar to these writings, are used in them alone of the New Testament in a medical sense. A Note has been

appended, at the end of

the book, which, though not strictly connected with the subject of the work, has reference to a question which is of some interest in connexion with St. Luke in his medical capacity.

PREFACE.

ix

The author here desires to express the obligation he is under to the Provost and Senior Fellows of Trinity College, Dublin, for their favour and liberality in having admitted this book into the Dublin University Press Series, and in having given a donation towards defraying the expenses of publication.

He also desires to return his

thanks to the Rev. Henry Wall Pereira, M. A., M. R. I. A.,

of

Sutton

Wick,

Berkshire,

and

William Millar, Esq., Ahoghill, Co. Antrim, for their valuable assistance and suggestions in the correction of the work as it passed through the press.

CONTENTS AN asterisk has been prefixed to those words which are peculiar to the third Gospel and the A c t s of the Apostles.

Luke, xxii. 4 1 - 4 6 : " And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me : nevertheless not my will, but thine be done. And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him (ivtaxiwv avrbv). And being in an agony (iv aywvta), he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat (o ISpwQ avrov) was as it were great drops of blood (wrrei Opo/ufioi alfiarog) falling down (tear a (3 a ivovrts) to the ground.

The particular word Karafiaiveiv, employed by St. Luke to describe the falling down of the sweat, was applied by the medical writers to the descent of humours, &c., from the upper to the lower parts of the body.
