| Summary: | In De Medicina, as in the Compositions, where attestations are less frequent given the more limited extension of the work, there are numerous claims of bodily fluids. Along with footage of the great ancient Greek tradition (from Hippocrates to Asclepiade and Temisone) there are also references to contemporary physicians and surgeons. Bodily fluids, especially bilis (atra or rufa), pituita, sanguis, sudor, urina, found in Celsus and Scribonius, are generally a sign of good physical health. They can often be used for therapeutic purposes. On the other hand, sometimes, in their possible imbalance, they are symptomatic and cause (especially urina, sanguis, but also pituita) of pathological alteration from which the physicians can have diagnosis and prognosis. Especially bilis, pituita and sanguis are reported frequently in parallel with Hippocrates by Friedrich Marx for Celsus and by Sergio Sconocchia for Scribonius Largus. |
