"À travers cette monographie, l'auteur a cherché à déterminer pour quel usage la miniature hippiatrique grecque a été conçue et comment le lecteur médiéval l'utilisait. L'objectif principal a été d'établir la nature de ce type d'image face au texte qu'elle accompagne. Après avoir dressé un aperçu de la production littéraire hippiatrique, l'auteur s'attache dans un premier temps à la composition du Corpus hippiatricorum graecorum, pour mieux examiner les différentes recensions d'un abrégé connu sous le nom d'Épitomé. L'objectif est de déterminer la place de l'Épitomé dans le Corpus hippiatricorum, afin de comprendre l'histoire de ce traité et la présence d'images dans les deux manuscrits qui en constituent la "branche illustrée". Le deuxième chapitre est consacré à l'étude approfondie de ces deux manuscrits illustrés: le Leidensis Vossianus Graecus Q 50 et le Parisinus Graecus 2244"--P. [4] of cover.
