Claudii Galeni De Placitis Hippocratis et Platonis Libri Novem, Vol. I
English translations of this work exist from another source language, but this specific text has never been translated.
The work 'De Placitis Hippocratis et Platonis' is originally a Greek text by Galen. The English translations found (such as the one by Phillip De Lacy, 1978-1984) are translations of the original Greek text, not of the 1874 Latin edition. Therefore, while the work itself has been translated into English, the specific Latin text in question has not been translated.
