Includes Latin texts of Hippocrates and Joannitius (i. e. Hunain ibn Ishak) and Galen's commentaries on the Hippocratic works. Thaddaeus' Hippocratic commentaries are incomplete; cf. Nicolini's notes on leaves 194v, 241r, and 325r. The Aphorismi (books 1-6 only) are in three Latin versions: those by Constantinus Africanus, Theodorus Gaza, and Niccolò Leoniceno. The Latin version of the Prognostica is ascribed to Constantinus Africanus in Thorndike and Kibre, Cat. of incipits, 1963, col. 1002. Of the Galenic commentaries, that on the Aphorismi is certainly, and the other two probably, translated by Constantinus Africanus.
