Johann Haynpol de Zwickau, dit Janus Cornarius (ca. 1500-1558), a publie pres d’une cinquantaine d’ouvrages, consistant essentiellement en traductions latines des grands auteurs medicaux grecs, Hippocrate et Galien entre autres, mais aussi des Peres grecs et meme de l’oeuvre complete de Platon, auxquelles les specialistes continuent a se referer. Sa traduction d’Hippocrate parue en 1546 represente une importante contribution au progres medical de la Renaissance, parce qu’elle s’accompagne d’une reorganisation originale de la matiere medicale autour de la question des fievres pestilentielles. Les ecrits personnels de Janus Cornarius, qui est par ailleurs probablement le modele historique du personnage de Panurge, devoilent aussi son role de tout premier plan dans la diffusion de la theorie copernicienne. L’ouvrage presente les donnees textuelles conduisant a ces deux decouvertes significatives et offre la premiere bibliographie exhaustive des editions cornariennes, ainsi que la traduction des principaux ecrits de Janus Cornarius ayant trait a Hippocrate.
