| Opplysninger | "The Liber Aurelii is a Latin medical text apparently compiled in Late Antiquity. It is the first part of a largely therapeutic two-volume work, which treats acute diseases. The author’s name is fictitious and unknown to the most original manuscripts. The work is thus a (rather successful) anonymous compilation, which uses primarily methodic sources, especially Soranus of Ephesus (2nd century AD)....The present edition reconstructs an archetype text of the direct transmission (approximately eighth century). On facing pages, the text forms of the abridged version and of Gariopontus are edited synoptically. The differences between the versions show how physicians of the High Middle Ages tried to make sense of the often corrupted text." - fra forlagets nettside
