This work encompasses a range of medical knowledge including philosophy, diet, medical practices, and surgery, reflecting ancient Roman thought on health and medicine. The book serves as a guide for physicians and scholars, providing insights into ancient healing practices and medical theory. The opening of this treatise outlines the importance of medicine and relates it to both agricultural principles and the historical context of healing practices. Celsus discusses the evolution of medicine from its rudimentary forms to a more structured approach, mentioning key figures like Hippocrates and the philosophical underpinnings of medical treatment. He presents a division of medicine into three main branches: dietetics, pharmacy, and surgery, emphasizing the necessity of both theoretical knowledge and empirical experience in effective medical practice. The preface sets the stage for detailed discussions that will follow in the subsequent books, providing a rich historical framework for the medical practices of the time.
