LARGUS, SCRIBONIUS

This article appears in Volume V16, Page 216 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LAP-LEO
LARGUS, SCRIBONIUS , court physician to the emperor
Claudius
 . About A.D. 47, at the request of Gaius
Julius
  Callistus, the emperor's freedman, he drew up a
list
  of 271 prescriptions (Compositiones), most of them his own, although he acknowledged his indebtedness to his tutors, to friends and to the writings of eminent physicians. Certain old wives' remedies are also included. The
work
  has no pretensions to style, and contains many colloquialisms. The greater part of it was transferred without acknowledgment to the
work
  of Marcellus Empiricus (c. 410), De Medicamentis Empiricis, Physicis, et Rationabilibus, which is of
great
  value for the correction of the text of
Largus
 .
See the edition of the Compositiones by G. Helmreich (Teubner
series
 , 1887).
