Abstract
The Aphorisms of Hippocrates are one of the most commented medical works from antiquity onwards. If we consider the manuscript tradition of the various commentaries, we can find some Greek manuscripts that preserve so-called ‘mixed commentaries’, that is, exegetical works combining parts of commentaries by different authors. In the manuscript Harleianus 6295 we find an anonymous and as yet unedited text that serves as prologue to this mixed commentary of Theophilus and Galen. In the present contribution, I will focus my attention on the anonymous text: I will edit, translate and comment on it, trying to identify the cultural context in which it was composed.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
