Extract

In these pages, the Repertorium of Hippocratic writings in the Middle Ages begun in Traditio 31 (1975) 99-126 is continued, with the works listed alphabetically by the first significant word of the commonly used title. As in the earlier installment, I am indebted to others, but I may under the circumstances be permitted to restrict my acknowledgments: to express in words, however inadequate to the occasion, my sincere appreciation for the encouragement and assistance of the late Father Edwin A. Quain, who gave these so generously even when he was grievously ill. His kindly presence will be sorely missed but the inspiration he provided will continue to sustain us.

Jones (Loeb Classical Library; London 1959) IV xxxiii-xxxv; also Beccaria, Beccaria, ‘Sulle tracce di un antico canone latino di Ippocrate e di Galeno, I,' Italia medioevali e umanistica 2 (1959) 156; and more particularly his ‘Gli Aforismi di Ippocrate nella versione e nei commenti del primo medioevo, II,’ ibid. 4 (1961) 175. Both articles are henceforth referred to respectively as Beccaria (1959) and Beccaria (1961).

10 This Vatican manuscript (VA 3426), which appears not to have been previously described, is of interest too, since its titulus reads: ‘Incipit commentum Galieni super Aphorismos.’ The name Galieni is however, written in, in a hand later than that of the manuscript which is early twelfth century.

20 Apparently the name Glaucon is derived from Glaucon, the philosopher, to whom Galen dedicated some of his works. However, Constantinus Africanus refers to him as if he were a contemporary. For earlier literature on Constantinus, see Thorndike I, chap. 32; and pp. 750 ff. Google Scholar

21 Actio may be derived from Acron, who is associated with Empedocles. He is named by Galen in describing the medical sect of Empirics. Thorndike I, 56. Google Scholar
