Grassi, with the additional 5 chapters in the last book from the Paris Latin edition of 1554. Wigan's preface (with bibliography of manuscripts and editions of Aretaeus, p. (1)-(6)) and his dissertations on Aretaeus, and Michael Maittaire's "De Aretaei dialecto commentariolus," "Alphabetum dialecticum" and "Index Graecus" are reprinted from the Oxford edition.
