Chapter 78

[656]IV, 687.[657]IV, 694, 696.[658]IV, 688.[659]IV, 700.[660]IV, 692; II, 537. Others contend, he says (IV, 693), that one soul constructs the parts and another soul incites them to voluntary motion.[661]IV, 701.[662]II, 28.[663]XVIII B, 17ff.[664]De usu partium, XI, 14 (Kühn, III, 905-7). The passage seems to me an integral part of the work and not a later interpolation. Moses Maimonides in the twelfth century took exception at some length, in the 25thParticulaof hisAphorismsfrom Galen, to this criticism of his national law-giver.[665]IV, 513; see also II, 55, ὡς ἔγωγε πρῶτον μὲν ἀκούσας τὸ γινόμενον, ἐθαύμασα καὶ αὐτὸς ἐβουλήθην αὐτόπτης αὐτοῦ καταστῆναι.[666]X, 608; XIII, 887-88.[667]XIII, 964.[668]II, 136; X, 385; XII, 311; he credited Plato with the same attitude, see II, 581.[669]II, 659-60.[670]XII, 446.[671]II, 141, 179.[672]II, 179; X, 609.[673]II, 621.[674]XIII, 891.[675]XIII, 430-31.[676]XIII, 717.[677]XI, 794; also XIII, 658; XIV, 61-62, and many other passages of theAntidotes.[678]XII, 203. Pliny, NH XXXVI, 34, makes the same statement as Dioscorides.[679]XII, 272.[680]Pliny, NH XXVIII, 35, however, both tells how butter is made and of its use as food among the barbarians.[681]X, 40-41.[682]X, 127, 962.[683]X, 31.[684]X, 29.[685]X, 668.[686]X, 123.[687]X, 915-16.[688]I, 75-76; XIV, 367.[689]I, 145; II, 41-43; X, 30-31, 782-83; XIII, 188, 366, 375, 463, 579, 594, 892; XIV, 245, 679.[690]X, 159.[691]XIV, 675-76.[692]I, 144-55.[693]XVI, 82.[694]I, 135.[695]XIV, 680.[696]I, 131.[697]I, 134.[698]XVI, 82.[699]II, 288.[700]IX, 842; XIII, 887.[701]XIII, 116-17.[702]X, 28-29.[703]X, 684.[704]X, 454-55.[705]XI, 420.[706]XI, 434-35.[707]XI, 456.[708]XII, 246.[709]XII, 336.[710]XII, 365.[711]XII, 258, 262, 269, 331.[712]XII, 334.[713]VI, 453-55.[714]XIII, 463.[715]XII, 895.[716]XIV, 222.[717]XIII, 700-701.[718]XIII, 706-707.[719]XIII, 467.[720]XIII, 867.[721]XII, 392-93, 884; XIII, 116-17, 123, 125, 128-29, 354, 485, 502-503, 582, 656.[722]XII, 968, 988.[723]See XII, 988; XIII, 960-61; XIV, 12, 60, 341.[724]XIV, 82.[725]XIII, 570.[726]XII, 350.[727]XVI, 86-87; XI, 518.[728]XI, 485.[729]XVI, 85.[730]IX, 842.[731]II, 206.[732]I, 138.[733]XVI, 80.[734]There would seem to be something wrong, at least with its arrangement as it now stands, for the first book ends (XIV, 389) with the words, “This my fourth book, O Glaucon, ends thus. If it has been useful to you, you will readily follow what I’ve written to Salomon the archiater.” But then the present second book opens with the words (XIV, 390), “Since you’ve asked me to write you about easily procurable remedies, O dearest Solon,” and goes on to say that the author will state what he has learned from experience beginning with the hair and closing with the feet.[735]XIV, 378.[736]XIV, 462.[737]XIV, 534.[738]XI, 205.[739]John of St. Amand,Expositio in Antidotarium Nicolai, fol. 231, inMesuae medici clarissimi opera, Venice, 1568.

Et ego protuli super his afforismis quedam dicta que circumspexi et ea meo nomine nominavi et similiter protuli aliquos aphorismos aliquorum modernorum quos denominavi eorum nomine.”[747]Ed. C. V. Daremberg,Notices et Extraits des manuscrits médicaux, 1853, pp. 44-47, Greek text; pp. 229-33, French translation.[748]Garrison,History of Medicine, 2nd edition, 1917, p. 141. But at p. 151 Garrison would seem mistaken in stating that Gentile died in 1348, for in the MS of which I shall speak in the next footnote his treatise on critical days is dated back in the year 1362: “Tractatus de enumeratione dierum creticorum m’i Gentilis anni 1362,” at fol. 125; while at fol. 162 we read, “Explicit questio ... m’i Zentilis anno Domini 1359 de mense marcii, et scripta Pisis de mense octobris 1359.” It is possible but rather unlikely that the dates later than 1348 refer to the labors of copyists. Venetian MSS contain not only aDe reductione medicinarum ad actumby Gentile, written at Perugia in April, 1342 (S. Marco, XIV, 7, 14th century, fols. 44-48); but also “Suggestions concerning the pestilence which was at Genoa in 1348,” by him (S. Marco, XIV, 26, 15th century, fols. 99-100, consilia de peste quae fuit Ianuae anno 1348). Valentinelli’s catalogue of the MSS in the Library of St. Mark’s does not help, however, to clear up the question when Gentile died, since in one place (IV, 235) Valentinelli assures us that he died at Bologna in 1310, and in another place (V, 19) says that he died at Perugia in 1348.[749]Cortona 110, early years of 15th century, fol. 128, Rationes Gentilis contra Galenum in quinto aphorismi. This MS contains several other works by Gentile da Foligno.[750]XIV, 601.[751]XIV, 605.[752]XIV, 615.[753]XIV, 625.[754]XIV, 655.[755]I, 54-55.[756]XII, 263.[757]XII, 306.[758]XII, 307.[759]XI, 792-93.[760]XII, 283.[761]XII, 251-53.[762]IV, 688.[763]Natural History, XXVIII, 2.[764]XII, 248, 284-85, 290.[765]XII, 293.[766]XIV, 255. (To Piso on theriac.)[767]XII, 291-92.[768]XII, 298.[769]XII, 304.[770]XII, 342.[771]XII, 276-77.[772]XII, 367-69.[773]XIII, 949-50, 954-55.[774]XII, 343. These form the titles of four successive chapters,De simplic., XI, i, caps. 19-22.[775]XII, 359, 942-43, 977.[776]XII, 856.[777]XII, 860.[778]XII, 360.[779]XII, 366-67.[780]XII, 335.[781]A fact which—one cannot help remarking—considering the character of most ancient remedies for hydrophobia, only tends to make their recovery seem the more marvelous.[782]XIV, 233.[783]XII, 250-51.[784]XIV, 224-25.[785]II, 45-48.[786]XII, 358-59. Concerning the virtue of river crabs we may also quote from a story told in Nias Island, west of Sumatra: “for had he only eaten river crabs, men would have cast their skin like crabs, and so, renewing their youth perpetually, would never have died.”—From J. G. Frazer (1918), I, 67. The belief that the serpent annually changes its skin and renews its youth may account for the virtues ascribed to the flesh of vipers and to theriac in the following paragraphs.[787]περὶ τῶν ἰδιότητι τῆς ὅλης οὐσίας ἐνεργοῦντων.[788]IV, 760-61, ἐνεργεῖν τὰς οὐσίας κατ’ ἰδίαν ἑκάστην φύσιν.[789]XII, 311-15.[790]Ad Pisonem de theriaca;De theriaca ad Pamphilianum.[791]XIV, 2-3.[792]XIV, 217.[793]XIV, 271-80.[794]XIV, 283.[795]XIV, 294.[796]XII, 317-18; XIV, 45-46, 238.[797]XIV, 238-39.[798]XIII, 371, 374.[799]XIII, 134.[800]XIII, 242.[801]XI, 859.[802]XII, 573; see also XIII, 256.[803]XI, 860.[804]XII, 295-96.[805]XII, 207.[806]A representation of the Agathodaemon; see C. W. King,The Gnostics and their Remains, London, 1887, p. 220.[807]XII, 288-89. At II, 163, Galen again accepts the notion that human saliva is fatal to scorpions.[808]XIV, 321.[809]XIV, 349.[810]XIV, 386-87.[811]XIV, 343.[812]XIV, 413.[813]XIV, 427.[814]XIV, 430.[815]XIV, 471.[816]XIV, 472.[817]XIV, 476. And others, “Ut ne cui penis arrigi possit,” and “Ad arrectionem pudendi.”[818]“ThePsoranthea bituminosaof Linnaeus. It is found on declivities near the sea-coast in the south of Europe,” says a note in Bostock and Riley’sThe Natural History of Pliny(Bohn Library), IV, 330. Pliny, too (XXI, 88), states that trefoil is poisonous itself and to be used only as a counter-poison.[819]XIV, 491; a good example of the power of suggestion.[820]XIV, 498.[821]XIV, 502.[822]XIV, 505.[823]XIV, 517.[824]XIV, 567ff.[825]I, 305-412.[826]Galenin PW.[827]I, 325-6.[828]XVII B, 212 and 834.[829]Partic. 6, Kühn, XIV, 253.[830]Kühn, XIV, 255.[831]These passages all come from the 24thParticulaof Maimonides’Aphorisms, which is devoted especially to marvels:—“Incipit particula xxiiii continens aphorismos dependentes a miraculis repertis in libris medicorum,” from an edition of theAphorismsdated 1489 and numbered IA.28878 in the British Museum. The same section contains still other marvels from the works of Galen.[832]Kühn, VI, 832-5.[833]VI, 833.[834]XVI, 222-23.[835]I, 53.[836]Coeli status, or ἡ κατάστασις.

[748]Garrison,History of Medicine, 2nd edition, 1917, p. 141. But at p. 151 Garrison would seem mistaken in stating that Gentile died in 1348, for in the MS of which I shall speak in the next footnote his treatise on critical days is dated back in the year 1362: “Tractatus de enumeratione dierum creticorum m’i Gentilis anni 1362,” at fol. 125; while at fol. 162 we read, “Explicit questio ... m’i Zentilis anno Domini 1359 de mense marcii, et scripta Pisis de mense octobris 1359.” It is possible but rather unlikely that the dates later than 1348 refer to the labors of copyists. Venetian MSS contain not only aDe reductione medicinarum ad actumby Gentile, written at Perugia in April, 1342 (S. Marco, XIV, 7, 14th century, fols. 44-48); but also “Suggestions concerning the pestilence which was at Genoa in 1348,” by him (S. Marco, XIV, 26, 15th century, fols. 99-100, consilia de peste quae fuit Ianuae anno 1348). Valentinelli’s catalogue of the MSS in the Library of St. Mark’s does not help, however, to clear up the question when Gentile died, since in one place (IV, 235) Valentinelli assures us that he died at Bologna in 1310, and in another place (V, 19) says that he died at Perugia in 1348.
