Synopsis
Contributing Authors

On ne saurait surestimer la prosperite des provinces africaines, influencees par Pergame, a la fin de l’Antiquite : la plupart des textes medicaux de la periode est d’origine africaine, avec des auteurs comme Theodore Priscien et Caelius Aurelianus. Cassius Felix, dont l’on peut situer l’activite vers 450, s’inscrit dans ce vaste mouvement d’etudes et de productions medicales qui s’epanouit entre la fin du IVe siecle et la premiere moitie du Ve siecle. Originaire de Numidie, Cassius Felix, probablement medecin, entendait dans De la Medecine, fournir en un abrege latin l’integralite du savoir des auteurs grecs de la secte logique. L’ouvrage, methodiquement ordonne, propose une somme des diverses maladies et de leurs therapies, suivant une medecine kata logon, ou rationnelle.Notre edition rassemble en un volume ce temoignage de la medecine antique. La riche introduction fait le point sur les connaissances relatives a l’auteur et propose un vaste panorama de la medecine depuis ses emprunts a la Grece, notamment aux ecrits d’Hippocrate et de Galien jusqu’aux recettes pharmaceutiques de L’Epsitula ad Valentinianum. La langue propre a Cassius Felix, et particulierement les emplois massifs du grec ainsi que la tradition manuscrite sont analyses en detail, tandis qu’une bibliographie est proposee au lecteur desireux d’approfondir. Des notes accompagnent la lecture et sont developpees, en fin d’ouvrage, par des notes complementaires. L’ouvrage est en outre enrichi d’un Index des termes techniques, d’un Index des mots grecs, et d’un Index des mots ou emplois remarquables.
