Libellus Arabicus in malos medicos
Contributors: Elisio, Giovanni Battista, active 1500
Publisher: [s.n.]
Published: 15uu
Place of publication: Italy
Language: lat
Subjects: Medicine; Early works to 1800
Notes: Cf. G. Meersseman O. P. La chronologie des voyages et des oeuvres de frère Alphonse Buenhombre O. P. In Archivum fratrum praedicatorum. v. 10 (1940) p. 94-95 & 106-108 ("appendice F"), who shows that the claim made by the editor Joannes Elisius of Naples to have translated the work himself from the Arabic in 1500 is a fraudulent one: the work was originally translated by the Spanish Dominican Alfonsus Bonihominis (Buenhombre) in 1342 and Joannes Elisius has merely repolished the earlier translator's Latinity.
