Basil of Ancyra on Virginity and Christian Medicine

1 work

Basil of Ancyra was a 4th-century ἱατρός and bishop of Ancyra. This site groups him under medicine because contemporary historians also call him a physician. They do not transmit a medical book of his. He died around 364 CE.

What this site holds is the Greek treatise On Virginity. It is an ascetic book addressed among bishops, not a medical handbook.

The medical practice is unreported. The surviving Greek is the virginity treatise.
