Questions
- Is it included with my subscription?
- Yes — the annual Medi-Chi plan includes the whole book at no extra cost. Monthly subscribers can buy it one-off, and the sample chapters stay free for everyone.
- Is this a translation?
- No. It is an original modern work. The root text is long out of copyright and is paraphrased and cited here; nothing is adapted from any in-copyright modern translation.
- Is it a replacement for a scholarly translation?
- No, and it does not pretend to be. If you want the philology, read Unschuld. This is the working clinician's version.
- Do later revisions cost extra?
- No. One purchase covers every future release of the book.
