Notes
"Arabic secondary transmission. The Greek original of this text is lost; the Arabic translation is therefore the only intact witness to this important work. The number and extent of quotations from this commentary in medieval Arabic medical writings, which are documented in the introduction to the volume, demonstrate that it became a crucial source for the development of medicine in the Islamic world. It also gave rise to a wide range of didactic writings which illustrate its importance for medical teaching. The English translation aims to convey some of the flavour of the Arabic text. The volume also contains comprehensive indices that map out the terminology and style of the translation."-- Publisher's website. | Volume I. Parts I-III -- volume II. Parts IV-VI. | Text of the medieval Arabic translation from the Greek, with English translation on facing pages; introduction and editorial notes in English.
