About This Item

some defects to title-page, stains to white margin of first leaves, marginal ink stains to last leaves, overall a good copy in attractive binding.

Rare edition of this work by Paulus Aegineta, the only work by the author that survived. With a concise exposition of the information taken from the manuals of the major "masters of arts", he succeeded in enclosing in a book of modest size much of the medical knowledge of the Greco-Roman era.

The work contains a rather extensive discussion of topics divided as follows:

-the art of preserving health;

-treatise on fevers (or diseases of similar parts);

-internal ailments;

-external ailments;

-sores, bites, poisons;

-surgery;

-simple and compound medicines.

The topics covered are extremely summarized, but not for this reason unclear.

Paul of Aegina (Aegina, 625? - 690?) was a Byzantine physician. He represents the last important exponent of Greco-Roman medicine and is to be considered as the "bridge" between the latter and medieval medicine. The first important doctor after Eginate was Abulcasis, born three centuries later.
