KCMS. A critical 18th-century edition of the works of Caelius Aurelianus, the primary transmitter of the "Methodic" school of medical thought from antiquity. This volume contains the "Eight Books" of the author's system, providing a comprehensive study of both acute (sudden) and chronic (long-term) diseases. Highly regarded by medical historians, this Amsterdam printing corrected numerous errors found in earlier Renaissance editions through the scholarly efforts of Amman and Almeloveen. Text in Latin.
