Hippiatrica
Hippiatrica (literally in Greek: "Horse medical [writings]") is the title given by modern editors and translators to the main monument of ancient Greek horse medicine (hippiatric) literature. The Hippiatrica was compiled by an unknown publisher, perhaps in the 5th or 6th century AD.
swell
The main sources of the Hippiatrica are seven late antique texts: the veterinary treatises of Eumelus (3rd century AD?), Apsyrtus (3rd or 4th century AD), Theomnestus (4th century AD ? ), Theomnestus (4th century AD ?) .), Hierocles (4th or 5th year. AD), and Hippocrates (?); a translation from Latin into ancient Greek of the text of Pelagonius (4th or 5th year. AD); and the chapter on horses from the agricultural compilation of Anatolius (4th century AD?). In a compilation from the 10th century, Tiberius and an anonymous compilation, so-called Προγνώσεις καὶ ἰάσεις (Prognoseis kai iaseis), were added.
Manuscripts
22 manuscripts (some with more than one copy of the text) of the Hippiatrica from the 10th to the 16th century have been preserved, contained in 5 reviews : M, B and D counted the complete collection, RV is a shorter version and E is one Epitoms .
Editions and translations
The first Latin translation, Veterinariae medicinae libri II, Iohanne Ruellio Suessionensi interprete , published in Paris in 1530, was done by Jean Ruel ( Ruellius ). 1537 published Simon Grynaeus the Greek text, published in 1537 in Basel under the title Τῶν ἱππιατρικῶν βιβλία δύω: veterinariae medicinae libri duo, a Johanna Ruellio Suessionensi olim quidem latinitate donati, nunc vero iidem sua, hoc est Graeca lingua primum in lucem aediti . Two editions have been translated from the Grynaeus version: the first, into Italian, edited by Michele Tramezzino under the title Opera della medicina de 'cavalli composta da diversi antichi scrittori, et a commune utilita di greco in buona lingua volgar ridotta ( Venice , 1543 ); the second, in French, by Jean Massé , L'art vétérinaire ou grande mareschallerie ( Paris , 1563).
A German translation of the Latin text by Ruel was made by Gregor Zechendörfer ( Nuremberg , 1571), under the title Two useful, very good books on all sorts of ailments and diseases, so that the horse mules etc. are plagued . In 1924 and 1927 Eugen Oder and Karl Hoppe published two volumes in Leipzig with BG Teubner Verlag as Corpus Hippiatricorum Graecorum (I Hippiatrica Berolinensia , II Hippiatrica Parisina Cantabrigiensia Londinensia ).
