Hippocratis Aphorismi
English translations of this work exist from another source language, but this specific text has never been translated.
The work 'Hippocratis Aphorismi' is a foundational medical text originally written in Greek. While numerous English translations of the 'Aphorisms' exist, these are translations of the original Greek text. The 1759 edition in question is a Latin translation of the Greek original. There is no evidence of a specific English translation of the Latin text itself; rather, the English translations available are direct translations from the Greek. Therefore, this is a 'first from source' case, as the Latin version has not been translated into English.
