    AURELII CORNELII CELSI. VITA A CLARISSIMO VIRO JOANNE RHODIO CONSCRIPTA. Cornet CkErsi laudabilem in re medica operam annis jam mille sexcentis, et quod superat, experientia, veritatis prima parens, feliciter probavit. Nec melioris animi quisquam ita ab omni humanitate remotus fuit, eui non venerandum tam illustre nomen. At ingenio magis, quam origine notum, quam, relicta soli animo gloria, temporis diuturnitas posterita- tis memorize exemit. Quamvis enim Rome vixisse Celsum, ipsius, sive ut aliis visum, Scribonii Largi ad J. Callistum epistola indicio sit : non desunt tamen cause, cur addubitem, patria, an jure civi- tatis ipsum Romanis accenseam. Maximeque, quum preter hunc, quidam Julius Celsus Hadriano Imperatori à consiliis, vel ex aliorum sententia, Alexandri Severi temporibus, juris scientia perhibeatur claru- isse. Vid. Spartianum in Hadr. 30. et Pompon. JC. lib. 2. in fin. de Orig. Jur. et Politianum lib. 5. Epist. ad Jac. Modestum. Equidem Celsum patrem ac filium jurecon- sultis annumerat Hotomannus in descriptione Jurisconsul- torum, et Juventium Celsum patrem ad Vespasiani Impera- toris tempora refert Jacob. Gothofred. Histor. Jur. Civil.
