Περὶ Ποδάγρας,
De
PodagraHe is the author of a treatise, Περὶ
Ποδάγρας,
De Podagra, which has been attributed by
some persons to Michael Psellus (Leo Allatius,
De Psellis, § 52,
ap. Fabric.
Bibl. Graec. vol. v. ed. vet.). It consists of forty-five
short chapters, besides the preface and conclusion, and, though principally compiled from
former writers, is curious and interesting.
A good analysis of its contents is given by Mr. Adams, in his commentary on Paulus
Aegineta (3.78).
Editions
It was first published without the author's name, in a Latin translation by Marcus
Masurus, Rom. 1517, 8vo.; and afterwards in Greek and Latin, Paris, 1558,
8vo.The last and best edition is by J. S. Bernard, Greek and Latin, Ludg. Bat. 1743,
8vo., sometimes found with a new title page, Arnhem. 1753.The Latin translation by Masurus is inserted in H. Stephani Medicae Artis Principes, Paris, 1567, fol.; and the Greek and Latin
text in the tenth volume of Chartier's Hippocrates and Galen.
Περὶ τῆς τῶν ἐν Νεφροῖς Παθῶν Διαγνώσεως καὶ
Θεραπείας,
De Renusm Affectuum Dignotione et
CurationeFabricius /(Bibl. Graec. vol. iii. p. 531, ed. vet.) conjectures that
Demetrius Pepagomenus may be the author of the little treatise, Περὶ τῆς τῶν ἐν Νεφροῖς Παθῶν Διαγνώσεως καὶ Θεραπείας,
De Renusm Affectuum Dignotione et Curatione, which is wrongly
attributed to Galen [
GALEN, p. 215.97], but there seems to be no
sufficient ground for this opinion.
