Description: A commentary on Hippocrates's Aphorisms and Galen's Tegni; some fragments of Hippocrates's text, translated into Latin, are included. Edited by Johannes Antonius Terzagus. The commentary on Hippocrates's Aphorisms is incomplete: although the signed gatherings agree with the printed register and the text between 2C8v and 2D1r is consistent, the text between 2D6v (which ends with "morbus aut") and 2E1r (which begins the commentary on Galen's Tegni) is not. Super-chancery folio, with paper measuring 31.9 x 21.4 cm. Text printed in 2 columns; 66 lines per column; col. width: 7.8 mm.; area of text: 24.1 x 16.3 cm. With paragraph marks, headlines, and woodcut initials; without catchwords. Publisher's device on verso of leaf 73. Foliation errors: leaves 30 and 49 misnumbered as 32 and 49, respectively. Signatures: 2A-2C⁸ 2D⁶ 2E-2H⁸ 2I-2K⁶ (2K6 blank). Modern binding using a leaf from a medieval Italian[?] antiphonal manuscript as covering.
