Pseudo-Galen, Praesagitio omnino vera expertaque: first critical edition
Abstract
We deal with a late composition on prognosis. The texts are taken nearly verbatim from compilers of Hippocrates and Galen. There are three copies of the treatise, in the manuscripts Parisinus gr. 2269, Mutinensis gr. α. U. 9. 04 (61 Puntoni), and Palatinus gr. 143, all of them dating from the XVth century. There are no medieval translations. The first edition is by René Chartier (1639), who read the Parisinus. Giorgio Valla translated the text of the Mutinensis (1498). This is the first critical edition of the treatise. Transmission features, language study, loci similes, a stemma codicum and a translation into Spanish are added.
