书籍简介

A. 科尼利厄斯-塞尔苏斯（Cornelius Celsus）可能是罗马皇帝提比略统治时期（公元14-37年）的作者，他写了一部关于农业、医学、军事艺术、修辞学、哲学和法学的百科书，按照这个主题顺序排列。在这部伟大的作品中，只有关于医学的8本书幸存下来（De Medicina）。

首册：在对希腊医学流派（教条式、方法式、经验式）进行了出色的研究之后，出现了合理的饮食学或健康保护，这一点永远适用。第二册涉及预后、症状诊断（他大力强调）和一般治疗学。第三册：内部疾病：发烧和一般疾病。第四册：局部身体疾病。接下来是两本药物学书籍，第五册：用药物治疗一般疾病；第六册：治疗局部疾病。第7和第8本书涉及外科手术；这些书包含许多手术的叙述，包括截肢。

塞尔苏斯不是专业的医学博士或外科医生，而是一个实用的普通人，他的《论医学》以清晰整洁的风格写给普通读者，部分是他对其家庭（包括奴隶）进行医疗的结果，部分是对从许多希腊机构获得的信息的介绍。我们无法从其他资料中了解到直到他自己的时代为止的医学状况。

Loeb古典图书馆的塞尔苏斯版分为三卷。

A. Cornelius Celsus was author, probably during the reign of the Roman Emperor Tiberius (14–37 CE), of a general encyclopaedia of agriculture, medicine, military arts, rhetoric, philosophy, and jurisprudence, in that order of subjects. Of all this great work there survives only the 8 books on medicine (De Medicina).

Book 1: after an excellent survey of Greek schools (Dogmatic, Methodic, Empiric) of medicine come sensible dietetics or health preservation which will always be applicable. Book 2 deals with prognosis, diagnosis of symptoms (which he stresses strongly), and general therapeutics. Book 3: internal ailments: fevers and general diseases. Book 4: local bodily diseases. Next come two pharmacological books, Book 5: treatment by drugs of general diseases; and Book 6: of local diseases. Books 7 and 8 deal with surgery; these books contain accounts of many operations, including amputation.

Celsus was not a professional doctor of medicine or a surgeon, but a practical layman whose On Medicine, written in a clear and neat style, for lay readers, is partly a result of his medical treatment of his household (slaves included) and partly a presentation of information gained from many Greek authorities. From no other source can we learn so much of the condition of medical science up to his own time.

The Loeb Classical Library edition of Celsus is in three volumes.
