>Dear Colleagues,

>It is with sadness that we announce that Dr. Owsei Temkin, aged
>99, died peacefully July 18 in Baltimore, Maryland.  A scholar of great
>distinction, Temkin wrote on medicine and history from the 5th century
>B.C. to the 20th century A.D.  Earlier this year, Temkin published a new
>collection of essays, containing a newly written article on the
>Hippocratic Oath.  Always actively engaged in thinking about medicine,
>both classical and modern, he was a major intellectual influence in the
>history of medicine.  Dr. Temkin was greatly respected by colleagues and
>by multiple generations of former students and admiring readers. He will
>be sorely missed.
>
>Born on October 6, 1902 in Minsk, Russia, Dr. Temkin received his
>medical degree from the University of Leipzig in 1927.  He joined Henry
>Sigerist at the Leipzig Institute for the History of Medicine, and
>followed Sigerist in 1932 to the Institute of the History of Medicine at
>The Johns Hopkins University.  He served as director and William H. Welch
>Professor from 1958-68.  The winner of both the American Association for
>the History of Medicine's Welch prize and the Sarton medal from the
>History of Science Society, Temkin was a member of the American
>Philosophical Society, the National Academy of Sciences, the American
>Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the History of Science Society.  He was
>President of the AAHM, 1958-1960, and editor of the Bulletin of the
>History of Medicine from 1948-1968, where he was aided by his life-long
>collaborator and wife, Mrs. C. Lilian Temkin, who served as the Bulletin's
>Assistant Editor from 1957 to 1971.
>
>The Department of the History of Science, Medicine and Technology
>has been planning a 100 year birthday anniversary in honor of Dr. Temkin,
>scheduled for Saturday, October 5, 2002.  Details about the program and
>event will be contained in a future message.
