Harley MS 3748, ff 113r-135v The anonymous Arabo-Latin translation of four different treatises by Galen, all relating to the nature and symptoms of illnesses, and respectively called 'De morborum differentiis', 'De causis morborum', 'De symptomatum differentiis', and 'De symptomatum causis libri tres'. The four works were put together under the collective title of 'Accidenti et morbo' or 'De morbo et accidenti' by Arab translators; thereafter they travelled together in the manuscript tradition. The Latin translation of the collection was probably undertaken in Toledo, and together with De ingenio sanitatis was at the core of the 'new Galen' curriculum in university medical training from the late 13th century onwards. Rubric (f. 113r): 'Incipit liber .Galieni. de accidenti et morbo .I. ', incipit: [De morborum differentis] 'In inicio huius libri diffini/ri morborum oportet', explicit (f. 116r): 'poterit utique eam perpendere'; rubric (f. 116r): 'incipit particula .ii. de causa [morborum]', incipit: 'In precedenti particula dictum est', explicit (f. 118v): 'morbos generabunt / compositos'; rubric (f. 118v): 'tercia particula de accidenciis / titulata', incipit: 'Quia utrisque particulis / precedentibus', explicit (f. 121r): 'oppilatio erit / morborum'; rubric (f. 121r): 'iiii. particula de causa aaccidencium .I.', incipit (f. 121v): 'In hac particula causam accidencium in/vestigabo', explicit (f. 135v): 'Semper alia sequuntur et eque non. / explicit liber .Galieni. de morbo et accidenti'. The text is divided into 6 particulae or books, beginning respectively on ff. 113r, 116r, 118v, 121v, 126r, 130v, the last two being in fact subdivisions of the fourth work by Galen: the texts are therefore copied in the order described by R. J. Durling, 'Corrigenda and addenda to Diels' Galenica', I: 'Codices vaticani', Traditio, 23 (1967), 461-76 (p. 467 nos. 64a, 65a, 112a, 113a). With extensive marginal apparatus added by a 15th-century hand. For the Latin text see L. Thorndike and P. Kibre, A Catalogue of Incipits of Medieval Scientific Writings in Latin, rev. edn.

Harley MS 3748, ff 24v-42r The anonymous Latin translation from Arabic sources of Galen's treatise on astral influences on the critical points on an illness, called 'De criticis diebus' or 'De diebus decretoriis'. In the manuscript tradition the translation was occasionally attributed to Gerardus Cremonensis (circa 1114-1187), and this attribution is accepted in Luis García-Ballester, 'The New Galen: A Challenge to Latin Galenism in Thirteenth-Century Montpellier', in Galen and Galenism (Aldershot-Burlington, Vermont, 2002), V, p. 69 n. 78. Rubric (f. 24v): 'Incipit liber .Galieni. de creticis diebus', incipit (f. 25r): 'Et egritudinum que / non paulatim mi/nuuntur', explicit (f. 42r): 'Et iam quidam venimus / ad finem libri auxilio dei et eius / adiutorio.

Harley MS 3748, ff 1r-24v The anonymous Latin translation from Arabic sources of Galen's treatise on diagnosis and prognosis through the examination of urine, De crisibus or De crisi. In the manucript tradition its translation was variously attributed to Gerardus Cremonensis (Gerard of Cremona) (c. 1114-1187), Petrus de Abano (1250-1316), and Willem van Moerbeke (William of Moerbeke) (c.1215 - 1286). The attribution to Gerard is accepted in Luis García-Ballester, 'The New Galen: A Challenge to Latin Galenism in Thirteenth-Century Montpellier', in Galen and Galenism (Aldershot, 2002), V, p. 69 n. 77.
