The two contemporaries Leonhart Fuchs (1501–1566) and Janus Cornarius (1500–1558) were both physicians and also had a thorough classical education. Nevertheless, their approach to Galen’s De simplicium medicamentorum temperamentis ac facultatibus (De simplicibus) was different: more philological for Cornarius, more botanical and medical for Fuchs. This paper deals with tables on Galenic pharmacology compiled in Fuchs’ De usitata huius temporis componendorum miscendorumque medicamentorum ratione (1541) and Cornarius’ Universae rei medicae ἐπιγραφή (1529). These tables (known since late antiquity) list Galen’s simple drugs according to their elementary qualities and intensities, owing to a more or less practical need. The question addressed here is how Fuchs and Cornarius worked with ancient and medieval sources and adapted these tables for their own time.

摘要

The two contemporaries Leonhart Fuchs (1501–1566) and Janus Cornarius (1500–1558) were both physicians and also had a thorough classical education. Nevertheless, their approach to Galen’s De simplicium medicamentorum temperamentis ac facultatibus (De simplicibus) was different: more philological for Cornarius, more botanical and medical for Fuchs. This paper deals with tables on Galenic pharmacology compiled in Fuchs’ De usitata huius temporis componendorum miscendorumque medicamentorum ratione (1541) and Cornarius’ Universae rei medicae ἐπιγραφή (1529). These tables (known since late antiquity) list Galen’s simple drugs according to their elementary qualities and intensities, owing to a more or less practical need. The question addressed here is how Fuchs and Cornarius worked with ancient and medieval sources and adapted these tables for their own time.
