The work 'Galeni Opera Omnia' edited by Karl Gottlob Kühn (1821-1833) is a massive collection of Galen's works in Greek with a Latin translation on facing pages. While many individual treatises by Galen have been translated into English from the original Greek, there is no complete or partial English translation of the entire Kühn edition itself, nor is there a translation of the Latin text provided within that edition. The Kühn edition is a standard reference for scholars, but it remains untranslated as a whole.
