Dedicated to Hippocrates

The Maiora Hippocratica is a pen dedicated to Hippocrates, the father of Western medicine, on whose theoretical foundations the Medical School is based: the first writing instrument that Maiora has dedicated to him.

Hippocrates theorized that disease and health depended on specific human circumstances, rather than divine intervention; he was the first to introduce the concepts of diagnosis, prognosis, and the medical record.
