English translations of this work exist from another source language, but this specific text has never been translated.
The work in question is a 1554 Latin edition of Dioscorides' 'De Materia Medica' edited by Pietro Andrea Mattioli. While the original Greek text of 'De Materia Medica' has been translated into English multiple times (e.g., by Lily Y. Beck, and the Goodyer translation), there is no evidence that Mattioli's specific Latin commentary and edition has ever been translated into English. The English translations found in searches are based on the original Greek, not on Mattioli's Latin text.
