HIPPOCRATES (c.460 - c.370 B.C., attributed to). Octoginta volumina. The Hippocratic corpus translated from Greek into Latin by Marcus Fabius Calvus (c.1440-1527). Rome: Franciscus Minutius Calvus, 1525.
The editio princeps in Latin of the collected works of Hippocrates. ‘The greatest of clinical physicians’, Hippocrates ‘freed medicine from superstition and the influence of priestcraft and derived his system from the accumulated empirical knowledge of Egypt, Cnidos and Cos. The clinical descriptions of fevers, phthisis, puerperal convulsions, epilepsy and other disorders have remained classics and no such records were kept again for over a thousand years’ (PMM).
Only a few of the texts attributed to Hippocrates were known to the Latin Middle Ages. The project of preparing a complete Latin translation of the Hippocratic corpus was undertaken in the early 16th century by Marco Fabio Calvo of Ravenna. A friend of Raphael, Calvo translated Vitruvius into Italian for the use of the artist, and also prepared the first archeological mapping of ancient Rome (Antiquae urbis Romae cum regionibus simulachrum, Rome 1527). In preparation for his work on Hippocrates, Calvo collated and wrote out his own manuscript of the Greek text, depending primarily on a 14th-century manuscript then in his own possession but also consulting a 12th-century codex that is one of the oldest and most important Hippocratic manuscripts. Calvo's Greek text was completed in Rome on 24 July 1512, and he finished the Latin translation on 14 August 1515. Both of his source manuscripts, as well as his own copies of the Greek text and Latin translation survive in the Vatican Library (N. Siraisi, in Rome Reborn, Washington 1993, pp.181-183). Adams H-567; Norman 1076; PMM 55; Wellcome B3177.
Folio (285 x 205mm). Table of contents in two columns, index in three columns, printed shoulder notes. Woodcut border on title, large woodcut initials, initial spaces with printed guide-letters, with the final blank (occasional light waterstaining in margins). Modern vellum to style, title lettered in manuscript at bottom edge. Provenance: early Latin and Italian annotations.
