Translation, by Guido Guidi [i.e. Vidus Vidius], of original Greek ms. written by Nicetas, a Byzantine physician, perhaps at the request of the Emperor Constantine Porphyrogenitus (905-59). This ms. contained the most complete collection, up to that time, of Galen's commentaries on the surgical works of Hippocrates. Guidi added his own commentaries upon those parts of Hippocrates' work not covered by Galen. Cf. Brown; Mortimer; Osler.

Illustrations, after the original ms., by Francesco Primaticcio and Jean Santorinos; woodcut engravings of these illustrations by, amongst others, Jollat. Cf. Brown; Mortimer; Osler.
