Kingsford furnishes the following list: 1. "Commentarii in Versus Aegidii de Urinis," quoted by John Gaddesden and probably authentic. "Practica Medicinae," mentioned by Pits, but of doubtful authenticity. "Experimenta Magistri Gilliberti, Cancellarii Montepessulani," noticed on page 2, but authenticity doubtful. "Compendium super Librum Aphorismorum Hippocratis." MS. in Bodleian.
Of the best and most scientific of Galen's works the Middle Ages knew little or nothing. e. g. De dinamidiis Galeni, Secreta Hippocratis and many astrological tracts. Later Galen and Hippocrates became a little more accessible, not by translation from the Greek, but by translation from the Arabic of a Syriac version.
We have, however, an early and barbarous Latin translation, and there has recently been printed an Arabic commentary. G. Bergstrasser, Pseudogaleni in Hippocratis de septimanis commentarium ab Hunnino Q. F. arabice versum, Leipzig, 1914.
With regard to Cardan's assertion that his colleagues hesitated to meet him in medical discussion it may be noted that Camutio printed a book at Pavia in 1563, with the following title: "Andrææ Camutii disputationes quibus Hieronymi Cardani magni nominis viri conclusiones infirmantur, Galenus ab ejusdem injuria vindicatur, Hippocratis præterea aliquot loca diligentius multo quam unquam alias explicantur."
