Harley MS 3140, ff 39r-43v

The Latin translation of the De regimine acutorum or Regimen in Acute Diseases, a treatise on general medical precepts on pathology by Hippocrates of Kos (460-375 BC). The translation, made from an Arabic version, is variously attributed to Constantinus Africanus (c. 1020-1098/9) and therefore to the late 11th century, or to Gerardus Cremonensis (Gerard of Cremona, c. 1114-1187) and therefore to the mid-12th century: see Kibre 1985; O'Boyle 1998, pp. 103-104.

Title: 'Incipit liber de regimine acutorum', incipit: 'Qui de egrotantium accidentibus in singulis egritudinibus tractantes', explicit: 'sed aliquando conveniens est illis. Explicit liber de regimine acutorum'. With glosses. First printed at Padua by Nicolaus Petri c.1476: for references to the edition see item 1 above.
