- W183479275 abstract "If we look for forerunners of today’s medical dictionaries and venture beyond the watershed which was the invention of printing with moveable type in Europe, we may well conclude that the medieval work of which we have just been given the first truly critical edition might be considered their ancestor. It differs from earlier glossaries (where difficult, obsolete or foreign words are explained) in its etymological approach. It is here that I would see a suggestive link to other works connected with the School of Salerno, and, in spite of the lack of incontrovertible evidence, it makes good sense to claim the Alphita for Salerno. This prototype medical dictionary runs to approximately 1300 entries, comprising mainly materia medica, but also diseases, and some anatomy. The early Carolingian Glossarium Ansileubi shows clearly the modus operandi of the compiler: he drew on passages in medical treatises where the word in question (usually Greek or obsolete) was immediately followed by an explanation. (The medical portions of this glossary were edited by a Danish pioneer in the history of ancient science and medicine, Johan Ludvig Heiberg, as Glossae medicinales, although Isabelle Mandrin seems to think that this is an independent work.) For almost every entry, the Glossarium Ansileubi provides fuller source references to the works excerpted there than does the Alphita; and because its excerpts are often considerably longer, it is easier for us to track down the source exactly. In the Alphita, less than 10 per cent of entries come with the name of an author. Much to our surprise, Alexander of Tralles is the one who gets the lion’s share, 64 of a total of 120 (according to Alejandro Garcia Gonzalez). This can only be seen as a testimony to the importance and wide circulation of the Late Latin translation of this sixth-century Greek author. (Parts of Alexander are also present in the Passionarius Galieni or Garioponti, whose make-up does not seem to be clear to either Mandrin, p. 20, or Garcia Gonzalez.)" @default.
