Thomas Linacre of Cambridge, Erasmus of Rotterdam, William Cop of Basel, Guinther of Andernach, Janus Cornarius of Zwickau, John Caius of Britain, and othersHaeser, cited work, §§ 303–307. The complete works of Claudius Galen, translated into Latin from the third Froben edition, Basel, 1562, preface by Conrad Gessner., by whose work an image, at the very least as close as possible to the true Galen, was presented even to those who were ignorant of the Greek language. Then, they illustrated the reborn Galen with various commentaries, held schools on his books, and neglected nothing to shed light upon and circulate the writings of the man who, along with Hippocrates, was judged most perfect in the art of medicineDaremberg, in the Preface to the Works of Oribasius, p. VIII, where he complains about the contempt for Greek physicians in our age, says: 'But how far we are from that time when the complete works of Galen counted, in Greek, two editions a few years apart, and in Latin, ten editions at the Giunta press, three at Froben, and several others at other printers; when editions of Hippocrates were multiplied to infinity; when the ancients were read and studied by physicians like the classics by scholars!'

However, those who, from the very time that the studies of the ancients were reviving, sided with the Greeks against the Arabs, did not seem less to subject themselves to the rule of the Greeks than their adversaries had subjected themselves to the rule of the Arabs. For they adapted many disciplines, such as anatomy and physiology, entirely to the teachings of the Greeks, especially Galen, and if ever
