Abstract

Parue à Venise en 1525, l’édition des de Galien a nécessité le recours à plusieurs manuscrits. Pour l’important traité intitulé , la copie d’impression a été conservée : le ms. 2148. Or son texte est incomplet, comme celui de tous les témoins de sa famille, à cause d’une longue lacune au livre VII que l’édition de Bâle de 1538 ne comble pas non plus. C’est le philologue anglais John Caius (1510-1573) qui a publié en 1544 la partie manquante du livre VII. Le présent article recherche les sources de cette édition partielle. Outre le de John Caius, on étudie dans son exemplaire de l’édition de Bâle ses annotations d’après différents manuscrits vus en Italie et, notamment pour le , d’après un ms. de Lazzaro Bonamico ; ce est identifié avec le 2281 qui a effectivement été une source secondaire de l’édition de 1544. La source principale est le ms. 047/24 qui appartenu à John Caius et qu’il a légué à la bibliothèque du pour lequel il a beaucoup fait. Ce ms. ne contient que des parties du . Un rapprochement avec le 74.4, composé de parties anciennes et de parties récentes, permet de démontrer que les parties anciennes du ms. de Florence et celles du du ms. de Cambridge formaient à l’origine un seul et même manuscrit. Cela conduit à l’hypothèse que Caius ait volé certaines parties du .

Abstract

Published in Venice in 1525, the edition of the of Galien required the consultation of many manuscripts. For the important treatise entitled , the manuscript used for the impression still exists: ms. 2148. Its text is incomplete, like that of all the witnesses in its family, because of a long lacuna in Book VII, which the Basle edition of 1544 does not fill either. It was the English philologist John Caius (1510-1573) who published the missing portion of Book VII in 1544. The present article searches out the sources of that partial edition. Apart from the by John Caius, a study is made of his own copy of the Basle edition and his annotations made from various manuscripts seen in Italy and, notably for the , from the manuscript of Lazzaro Bonamico. This is identified with , which was the second source of the edition of 1544. The principle source is the ms. 047/24; the manuscript belonged to John Caius and he bequeathed it to the library of the college for which he had done much. This manuscript contains only parts of the . A comparison with 74.4, composed of older and newer parts, indicates that the older parts of the Florentine manuscript and those of the in the manuscript in Cambridge originally formed one and the same manuscript. This leads to the hypothesis that Caius may have stolen certain parts of the .
