AURELIANUS, CAELIUS

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 924 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: AUD-BAI
AURELIANUS, CAELIUS , a physician of Sicca in Numidia, who probably flourished in the 5th century A.D., although some place him two or even three centuries earlier. In favour of the later date is the nature of his Latin, which shows a strong tendency to the Romance, and the similarity of his language to that of
Cassius
 
Felix
 , also an African medical writer, who about 450 wrote a short treatise, chiefly based on Galen. We possess a translation by Aurelianus of two works of Soranus of Ephesus (2nd century), the
chief
  of the " methodist " school of
medicine
 , on chronic and acute maladiesTardae or Chronicae Passiones, in five, and Celeres or Acutae Passiones in three books. The translation, which is especially valuable since the
original
  has been lost, shows that Soranus possessed considerable
practical
  skill in the diagnosis of
ordinary
  and even of exceptional diseases. It is also important as containing numerous references to the methods of earlier medical authorities. We also possess considerable fragments of his Medicinales Responsiones, also adapted from Soranus, a general treatise on
medicine
  in the form of question and answer; it deals with rules of health (salutaria praecepta) and the
pathology
  of internal diseases (ed. Rose, Anecdota Graeca et
Latina
 , ii., 1870). Where it is possible to compare Aurelianus's translation with the originalas in a fragment of his Gynaecia with Soranus's Hepl ymscuKeicov lIaO& 'it is found that it is literal, but abridged. There is apparently no MS. of the treatises in existence. (Editions: Amman, 1709;
Haller
 , 1774.)
