references: Heirs of Hippocrates [94.6 :"This enlarged edition contains the De phlebotomia, De conservatione vitae humane, & De floribus diaetarum, not found in Roville’s edition of 1550. The Lillium Medicina was first published in Venice in 1496. It is a “characteristic Arabist text-book of the practice of medicine” (Garrison, p. 164), arranged, as such works were in the Middle Ages, a capite ad calcem. The book is notable in containing the first description of a modern tress & the first mention of spectacles as oculus berellinus"].
