Gli umori oculari nella medicina latina presalernitana

The Greek investigation on the anatomy of the eye and on its humors was extremely wide and yielded complex results. This knowledge was inherited by Latin literature, and underwent a systematic process of reduction and simplification in the texts of late antique authors (Vindicianus; Pseudo-Vindicianus). This paper aims to highlight what remains of the Greek reflection in the surviving Latin texts, from Celsus to Agnellus Ravennatis.
