Claudii Galeni Opera Omnia, Vol. 8
Galen; Karl Gottlob Kühn (ed.)
English translations of this work exist from another source language, but this specific text has never been translated.
The work in question is the 'Opera Omnia' of Galen, edited by Karl Gottlob Kühn (1821-1833), which is a massive collection of Galen's works in Greek with a parallel Latin translation. While many individual treatises contained within this multi-volume set have been translated into English from the original Greek, the Kühn edition itself—specifically the Latin translation provided alongside the Greek—has never been translated into English as a complete work. The English translations that exist for Galen's works are modern scholarly translations based on the original Greek, not translations of the Latin text found in the Kühn edition.

Galen demands that every physician stop guessing and start observing the internal mechanics of the body. This volume forces a confrontation between useless medical jargon and the raw reality of anatomical truth.
