PREFACE.

σταται τὰ ὑποχύματα. ~ ὅτι ὑπὸ τοῦ ἀλοειδοῦς (read: ὑαλοειδοῦς vitreous) ὑγροῦ τρέφεται τὸ κρυσταλλοειδὲς κατά τινα διάδοσιν. ~ ὥσπερ οὖν καὶ τὸ ὑαλοειδὲς ἐκ τοῦ ἀμφιβληστροειδοῦς χιτῶνος τὴν τροφὴν δέχεται κατὰ διάδοσιν, ὡς μὴ δεχόμενα φλέβας. ~ ὅτι ἑπτὰ εἰσὶ κύκλοι καὶ ἐν μέσῳ τὸ κρυσταλλοειδές. ~ περὶ τοῦ κερατοειδοῦς χιτῶνος. ~ περὶ τοῦ ῥαγοειδοῦς χιτῶνος. ~ περὶ βλεφάρων καὶ βλεφαρίδων καὶ τριχῶν καὶ ὀστῶν καὶ τῶν ἄλλων ἐπινοηθέντων ὑπὸ τῆς φύσεως ἕνεκα ἀσφαλείας τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν. ~ περὶ τῶν κινούντων τὸν ὀφθαλμὸν μυῶν καὶ τοῦ μαλακοῦ νεύρου τοῦ καταφυομένου ἐξ ἐγκεφάλου. ~ ὅτι καὶ τὸ μαλακὸν νεῦρον τῇ ἀσφαλείᾳ τοῦ ὀφθαλμῷ ἐμβάλλεται. ~ διὰ τί ἡ φύσις τὸ ἄνω βλέφαρον μεῖζον τοῦ κάτω ἐποίησεν. ~ διὰ τί ὁ μέγας κανθὸς μεῖζον σαρκίον ἔχει τοῦ ἄλλου κανθοῦ. ~ ἀπόδειξις τῆς καταφύσεως τῶν νεύρων ὀφθαλμῶν ξένης παρὰ τὰ ἄλλα πάντα νεῦρα οὔσης διὰ γραμμικῆς θεωρίας. ~ ὅτι καὶ τὸ κρυσταλλοειδὲς ὑγρὸν ἀπέδειξεν διὰ γραμμικῆς ἀνάγκης οὕτως ὑπὸ τῆς φύσεως δημιουργηθέν. ~ fol. 169b ΒΙΒΛΙΟΝ ΙΔ περὶ χρείας μορίων. περὶ τῶν κατὰ τὴν μήτραν μορίων. ~ περὶ τῶν ὄρχεων τοῦ θήλεως καὶ τοῦ ἄρρενος ζώου καὶ τῶν ἐπ' αὐτοὺς παραγινομένων ἀγγείων ἀρτηριωδῶν τε καὶ φλεβωδῶν. ~ περὶ τῆς τῶν ἀρρένων καὶ θήλεων ὁμοιότητός τε καὶ ἀνομοιότητος πρὸς ἄλληλα. ~ fol. 192b ΒΙΒΛΙΟΝ ΙΕ περὶ χρείας μορίων. περὶ τῶν κατὰ τὰ αἰδοῖα μορίων τοῦ ἄρρενος καὶ τοῦ θήλεος. ~ περὶ τῶν κατὰ τὸ κυούμενον ζῶον μορίων, ἃ οὐκ ἔχει τὸ γεγεννημένον. that cataracts are formed. ~ that the crystalline is nourished by the vitreous humor through a certain transmission. ~ just as the vitreous also receives its nourishment from the retinal tunic by transmission, as they do not receive veins. ~ that there are seven circles and in the middle the crystalline. ~ on the corneal tunic. ~ on the uveal tunic. ~ on the eyelids and eyelashes and hairs and bones and the other things devised by nature for the safety of the eyes. ~ on the muscles moving the eye and the soft nerve growing from the brain. ~ that the soft nerve is also inserted for the safety of the eye. ~ why nature made the upper eyelid larger than the lower. ~ why the great canthus corner of the eye has a larger fleshy part than the other canthus. ~ proof of the insertion of the nerves of the eyes, which is strange compared to all other nerves, through linear theory. ~ that he also proved the crystalline humor was thus created by nature through linear necessity. ~ fol. 169b Book 14 on the Usefulness of the Parts. On the parts of the womb. ~ on the testicles of the female and male animal and the arterial and venous vessels reaching them. ~ on the similarity and dissimilarity of males and females toward each other. ~ fol. 192b Book 15 on the Usefulness of the Parts.

You have an image of this manuscript expressed by phototype art in the edition of the works of Hippocrates curated by Hugo Kuehlewein, vol. I (appendix). Its readings mostly agree with the Urbinati; but in many places, they have been changed by a second hand using another, evidently inferior, copy for what the scribe himself had written.
