Already emerging as an original thinker in the field of classical philology and history of medicine, German scholar Ludwig Edelstein became one of many scholars who lost his academic position when the National Socialists came to power in early 1933. This paper details his life before and after his difficult transition from Europe to North America, while reviewing the lasting significance of his translation and commentary on the Hippocratic Oath.
德国学者路德维希·埃德尔斯坦已然成为古典语文学和医学史领域的一位原创性思想家，然而在1933年初纳粹党上台后，他成为了众多失去学术职位的学者之一。本文详述了他在从欧洲艰难过渡到北美前后的人生经历，同时回顾了他对《希波克拉底誓言》的翻译及评注所具有的持久意义。
