Description

Heading:
Author: Celsus, Aulus Cornelius
Title: A Translation of the Eight Books of Aul. Corn. Celsus on Medicine; Third Edition, Carefully Revised and Improved by G.F. Collier. M.D.
Place Published: London
Publisher:Longman & Co.

The First Edition appeared in 1830. Aulus Cornelius Celsus (c. 25 BC - c. 50 AD) was a Roman encyclopaedist, known for his extant medical work, De Medicina, which is believed to be the only surviving section of a much larger encyclopedia. The De Medicina is a primary source on diet, pharmacy, surgery and related fields, and it is one of the best sources concerning medical knowledge in the Roman world. The lost portions of his encyclopedia likely included volumes on agriculture, law, rhetoric, and military arts
