Life

Fridolf Kudlien received his doctorate on October 1, 1958 at the Humboldt University in Berlin , his dissertation was on the subject of the handwritten transmission of the Galenkommentar zu Hippocrates 'De articulis' . It was suggested by Konrad Schubring as part of the Corpus Medicorum Graecorum (CMG) and examined by Johannes Irmscher and Werner Hartke after submission in the summer of 1957. It was one of several works that arose as part of a working group of the CMG , which is based at the German Academy of Sciences , as preparatory work for a planned critical edition of Galen's De articulis .

Shortly before the Wall was built in 1961, Kudlien moved to Würzburg, where he worked as an assistant at the Institute for the History of Medicine at Julius Maximilians University .
