2. Parisinus 2253 (A) (formerly Colbert. 4864 Reg. 3141). It is a parchment codex of 192 leaves of the eleventh century, written by Michael the calligrapher, and besides Galen's books X and XIV, it contains these writings of Hippocrates: 1. κωακαὶ προγνώσεις Coan Prognoses fol. 1a—33b, 2. περὶ τροφῆς On Nutriment fol. 34a—36b, 3. περὶ πτισάνης On Tisane fol. 37a—64a, 4. περὶ χυμῶν On Humors fol. 65a—70b, 5. περὶ ὑγρῶν χρήσιος On the Use of Liquids fol. 70b—74b, 6. ἐπιβώμιος Epibomios (On the Altar) fol. 74b—75a, 7. περὶ τέχνης On the Art fol. 75a—81a, 8. περὶ φύσιος ἀνθρώπου On the Nature of Man fol. 81a—93b, 9. περὶ φυσῶν On Winds fol. 93b—100a, 10. περὶ τόπων τῶν κατ’ ἄνθρωπον On Places in Man fol. 100a—117b, 11. περὶ ἀρχαίης ἰητρικῆς On Ancient Medicine fol. 117b—130a, 12. ἐπιδημίαι Epidemics fol. 130b—144b (book I). Now follow Galen's περὶ χρείας μορίων On the Use of Parts book X fol. 145a—169a, book XIV fol. 169b—192a, the beginning of book XV fol. 192b. Galen's six books are contained in quaternions, or forty-eight leaves; the quaternions are marked in the upper margin with Greek letters: α, β, γ, δ, ε, ς. On individual pages there are twenty-eight lines. On the last page, the strokes of the letters have faded so much that they can scarcely be distinguished. It seems to end with the words "you might have better in the place" (vol. IV p. 212, 14 K). The indices of the chapters prefixed to the individual books are these: fol. 145 BOOK X OF "ON THE USE OF PARTS". On the eyes: that the crystalline humor is the most sovereign organ of vision. ~ that in the middle of the crystalline humor and the corneal tunic exist the cataracts. ~ that the crystalline humor is nourished by the vitreous humor by a certain transmission. ~ just as also the vitreous humor receives nourishment from the retinal tunic by transmission, as not receiving 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 sake of the safety of the eyes. ~ on the muscles moving the eye and the soft nerve sprouting 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 has a larger piece of flesh than the other canthus. ~ proof of the insertion of the nerves of the eyes, being strange compared to all other nerves, through linear theory. ~ that it also proved the crystalline humor to be so created by nature by linear necessity. ~ fol. 169b BOOK XIV of "On the Use of Parts".
