Manuscript Summary:
Manuscript Summary
This medical handbook by Gariopontus, who flourished in the mid-11th century in Salerno, systematically assembled in head-to-foot order writings already long known in the Latin speaking world (Galen’s Ad Glauconem de medendi methodo I-II with a Liber tercius by a pseudo-Galen, the Aurelius and Esculapius derived ultimately from the texts of Soranus of Ephesus, and an extract from the Therapeutica by Alexander of Tralles) in seven books. The work exercised a strong influence on the School of Salerno. It survives in more than 65 manuscripts, and three print issues were produced as early as the 16th century. The Bodmer manuscript from the early 12th century, like many other versions of this text, features numerous glosses. (gla)

Manzanero Cano, in his difficult-to-access Madrid dissertation, investigates the origins of the Liber Esculapii, one of Gariopontus's chief source texts. He concludes that the Liber Esculapii was produced s. VI ex.-VII in., probably in N. Italy, by one who knew both medicine and Greek, and apparently for pedagogical purposes. He argues the Liber Esculapii itself is a compilation of materials from various sectarian schools of thought, including Caelius Aurelianus (Methodism), derivative Dogmatist ideas, and possibly some versions of Galenic and Hippocratic sources in Latin form. He considers whether the same compiler might also have produced the Liber Aurelii. In analyzing his stemma, Manzanero Cano contests some arguments in Pierre Schmid's 1942 thesis on Caelius Aurelianus regarding the age, quality and family of the manuscripts Gariopontus appears to have utilized. He suggests that Gariopontus utilized a Liber Esculapii (possibly 2 manuscripts) that was closer to his stemma's Group γ, subgroup η than to subgroup ζ.
