They contain information on the environment in which the translations were undertaken, their dates and sources, on lost or unknown material, and, in general, on the circulation of ancient Greek medical texts during that period, as well as on reflections of the humanist physicians on the problems they encountered in the process of translating, problems concerning style, terminology, emendation. The article points out these precious and rare philological remarks.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
