[Choulant.] If the foregoing list be tolerably correct, it will appear that the work has been published, in various languages, about five and thirty times in about three hundred and fifty years,—a greater number of editions than has fallen to the lot of almost any other ancient medical treatise. It must, however, be con- fessed that great part of its popularity has been owing to the patronage of Dr. Mead. In translating the work, constant use has been made of the Greek version, of Channing’s Latin translation, and of Stack’s English translation, but none of these has been followed im- plicitly; so that, though the words of Dr. Stack have frequently been used, the present has nevertheless a right to be considered as a new English translation, made for the first time from the original Arabic.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b21301943_0021.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
