Bücher von W. H. S. Jones

Originally published in 1924, this book presents the history of the Hippocratic oath from its earliest formulations through its interpretation and representation by later religious and medical traditions. Jones traces the changing terminology found in various manuscripts from the Greek, Roman and Arabic traditions and gives an assessment in a concluding essay.

Originally published in 1915, this book addresses the teaching of classics, particularly Latin and ancient Greek, in a schooling system which has grown to see the subject as largely irrelevant. Jones argues that studying ancient languages is best done through the 'direct method' of instruction.

Originally published in 1926, this book presents a theory of educational practice based upon finding a middle ground between a newer approach emphasising the freedom of the child and 'the old system founded on fear and repression'. Notes are incorporated throughout and a short, chronological bibliography is also included.

This 1947 volume provides a dual-text English translation of the Anonymus Londinensis papyrus, an important document of Ancient Greek medical and philosophical ideas from the second century AD. The text also contains a generous introduction, additional notes, together with essays on the nature of Greek thought and medicine.
