First Complete Translation
Only partial translations or excerpts exist. This is the first complete English translation.
The 'Opera' of Constantinus Africanus, as published in the 1536/1539 Basel editions, is a comprehensive collection of his medical treatises. While individual short treatises from his corpus (such as 'De Coitu' and 'Liber de oblivione') have been translated into English in academic journals, there is no evidence of a complete English translation of the 'Opera' collection. Therefore, this work represents a first complete translation.
