- Notes: Compilation by a 6th-century Byzantine physician, "... of considerable historical value because of the many extracts from ancient medical writings it contains. Special importance is given to the materia medica, but the encyclopaedia is very extensive and includes internal medicine, surgery, obstetrics, gynaecology, ophthalmology"--Sarton I, 434. Durling 49; Choulant, Handbuch, page 134; Hoffmann I, 100; see Garrison-Morton 33, 5814, and 6137.
