English translations of this work exist from another source language, but this specific text has never been translated.
The work 'De Materia Medica' by Dioscorides was originally written in Greek. While English translations of the work exist (such as the 1655 John Goodyer translation and the 2005 Lily Y. Beck translation), these are translations of the Greek original. The 1830 edition by Kurt Sprengel is a scholarly Latin edition of the text. There is no evidence that this specific Latin edition by Sprengel has been translated into English; rather, English translations of Dioscorides are based on the Greek source text. Therefore, this is a first translation from the Latin source.
