        Abstract
        Johann Heinrich Meibom (1590-1655), a physician from Helmstedt, wrote a complex and erudite commentary on the Hippocratic Oath (1643). This book approaches the commentary from different fronts; the author – his life and work-, the Hippocratic Oath and its textual tradition and Meibom’s commentary as a text and a book. Thanks to the analysis of different sources and archives, it was possible to reconstruct the writing process of chapter 15th of Meibom’s Commentary, devoted to the Hippocratic Oath clause about abortion. As part of the analysis, this book presents a new interpretation of this Hippocratic clause, not as an anti-abortion but anti-gynaecological-harm clause. This book also offers a reflection inspired by Meibom’s sources to deal with the still-existing problem of abortion. Johann Heinrich Meibom (1590 - 1655), ein Arzt aus Helmstedt, hat einen komplexen und fundierten Kommentar zum hippokratischen Eid (1643) verfasst. Dieses Buch nähert sich dem Kommentar aus verschiedenen Blickwinkeln: aus Perspektive des Autors (seines Lebens und seines Werkes), des hippokratischen Eides und seiner textlichen Überlieferung und des meibomschen Kommentars als Text und Buch. Dank der Analyse verschiedener Quellen und Archive war es möglich, den Schreibprozess des 15. Kapitels des meibomschen Kommentars zu rekonstruieren, der sich dem Schwangerschaftsabbruch unter dem Gesichtspunkt des hippokratischen Eides widmet. Im Rahmen der Analyse präsentiert dieses Buch eine neue Auslegung des hippokratischen Eides und zwar nicht mehr als ein Verbot des Schwangerschaftsabbruches, sondern als Verbot, gynäkologischen Schaden zu verursachen. Dieses Buch bietet auch eine von Meiboms Quellen inspirierte Reflexion zum Umgang mit dem immer noch bestehenden Problem des Schwangerschaftsabbruches.
