Eight Books on Medicine

...so that our people might understand the medicine of Hippocrates, which is almost translated into the Latin tongue by Cornelius, and read him much more willingly.

Fabius Quintilian, the Roman rhetorician, as far as I know, is the only one among the ancients to mention Cornelius Celsus, praising the man's industry, for he explained rhetoric much more accurately than others before him. But he also, having imitated the Skeptics, wrote many things with the greatest brilliance and polish. He also embraced the art of war and almost all Greek disciplines, and taught them to speak in Latin. And out of these, he completed the medicine of all our people as a prince, in such a way that many can emulate him rather than equal his praise.

Farewell, well and happily.
