Athe ̄nagoras (Med.) (400 – 600 CE?)
Credited with a Latin treatise on pulse and urine (Incipit liber Athenagore de pulsis et urinis.
Quoniam medicus peritissimus debet esse.. .), although the author’s name seems to indicate a tract
written in Greek and translated into Latin. Citations suggest either a work discussing only
urine (Diels 1907: 2.21) or two separate treatises (Thorndike and Kibre 1963: 1285, 1610).
Medical content in the classical, especially Gale ̄nic tradition, and the earliest extant manu-
script (Paris, BNF, latinus 7028, 10th/11th c.) predate the post-Constantinian activity of
Salerno school (12th c.), suggesting that the Latin version might date to the period of the
early medieval translations of Greek medical works into Latin in the medical schools of
northern Africa and Italy (Ravenna).
