About This Item
RARE THIRD EDITION OF THE GREEK TEXT AND SECOND EDITION TO INCLUDE THE LATIN TRANSLATION.
GALEN. De humoribus liber nunquam antehac typis excusus, & nunc primum ex Graeco in Latinum sermonem ita conversus, a Bernardo Bertrando Rhegino ... ut facile Graecis Latina conferri possint.
Strasbourg, Apud Samuelem Emmel, 1558.
FIRST EDITION of Rheginus' Latin translation. 8vo, text in Greek and Latin translation by Bernardus Rheginus. 43 unnumbered pages. Final diagrams. Some browning to the initial leaves. Later semi-limp vellum.
Rare third edition of the Greek text after the first one of 1555 (Paris), which included a Latin translation by Nicolaus Vigoreus, and the second of 1557 (Strasbourg), which contained the Greek text only.
This is the work usually known as the De humoribus, generally considered spurious; it is not to be confused with and is not included in the probably genuine work of Galen, In Hippocratis De humoribus librum commentarii tres. Cf. Kühn's edition of Galen, v. 1, p. clxiii; v. 16, p. [v]-vi; v. 19, p. [485]-496.
Durling. A Chronological Census of Renaissance Editions and Translations of Galen Journal of the Warburg and Courtauld Institutes, Vol. 24, No. 3/4 (Jul. - Dec., 1961), pp. 230-305: 273.
Bibliography of the History of Medicine, Issue 3 (1967), p. 312 (in Part IV. Recent Acquisitions).
