"The Seven Books of Paulus Ægineta, Volume 3" by Francis Adams is a scientific publication written in the mid-19th century. This volume serves as a translation and commentary on the ancient medical work attributed to Paulus Ægineta, specifically focusing on the Materia Medica and Pharmacy of the ancients. It examines the knowledge of Greek, Roman, and Arabian medical theories and practices, making it a significant resource for understanding the evolution of medical knowledge related to medicine and surgery. The opening of this volume provides a preface explaining the author's approach to the commentary, highlighting a shift from ancient literature exclusively to incorporating modern insights for practical understanding. It outlines the key aspects of the third volume, which deals with the properties and classifications of medicinal substances, both simple and compound, emphasizing their effects on human health. The text introduces concepts such as the temperaments of substances, valuations through taste, and categorization based on heating and cooling properties, setting the stage for a detailed exploration of medicinal plants and substances, alongside important references to ancient medical authorities like Hippocrates, Dioscorides, and Galen.
