    appears in the edition of the Mesue des- | cribed only as part of the Antidotarium of Nicolaus Salernitanus, [Strasburg »Priiss, ca.1485],. Hain *11763. I have found no trace ofthis Johannes Theobaldus in Pavia. His association with Marcus of Papia, who is undoubtedly our Gatinaria, may have taken place solely in the mind of the Lyon publisher. The possible relationship offers some interest, for this Theobaldus, who elsewhere is styled “Ebroicus%, i. e. of Evr may well be the Jean Thiebault whom the medical faculty Paris pursued as “empiricus indoctissimus“ early in the century. Tollin has brought to light some interesting documents about this quarrel. He was interested in him because of his relation to Michel Servet, and it seems evident that he had won recognition as an able plague physician and by his profedg onal © connection with the courts of Louis XII and Francoisl*. | The note in the colophon of the Mesue “extracted from the original‘ brings up the question as to the possibility of Gatinaria’s bd ninth Almansor, the latter for Ferrarida Gradi’s Practica. this is indeed maintained by several authors and made to explain — Gatinaria’s mention with the date of 1462. This is of cour ef possible, but in the case of Mesue highly improbable, for we know not one Arabic manuscript of his works. Of Rhazes’ work the translation by Gerard of Cremona was highly esteemed and sufficient. Gatinaria in one chapter of his Practica finds fault with Gerard’s translation of the Arabic “chachile* with “carda- momum* and corrects it by “soldanella* (Lyon Ed. 1582 fol. 36a).
