La tradición de escritos latinos De catarticis en la Antigüedad Tardía y la Alta Edad Media: principios de composición y transmisión textual

Abstract

In this article, five Latin writings De catarticis with diffusion in the Early Middle Ages are analysed. Some of them come from Greek encyclopedic works of Late Antiquity; others, however, seem to have been elaborated independently, although they are also integrated into the Hippocratic-Galenical doctrinal tradition. Details and new informations are provided on their origin, handwritten transmission, cataloguing and structure.
