Abstract

De medicina by Aulus Cornelius Celsus is the oldest preserved and at the same time the most important source of knowledge about medicine in the Western world until the first century AD. We do not know much about Celus, why De Medicina was forgotten between the 2nd and 9th centuries AD, and whether Celsus was a practicing physician. Was he a professional doctor or surgeon, or just a layperson with medical knowledge? Only one answer will be correct. "Today, De Medicina can be read for the benefit and interest of both physicians and non-professional readers because of its historical value.”

Keywords:
