For the present work Champier selected portions of Galen's (see No. 36 ff.) popular Ars parva or Tegni here translated from the Greek by Laurentius Laurentianus (ca. 1450-1502). Following each selection from the Tegni is a section containing Champier's commentary as well as the observations and commentary from `Ali ibn Ridwan's (998-ca. 1068) commentary on the Tegni. Champier indicates that he has consulted the writings of Pietro Torrigiano da Torrigiani (ca. 1270-ca. 1350), Gentile da Foligno (d. 1348), Johannes Sermoneta (fl. 1430), Ugo Benzi (see No. 118), and Jacopo da Forli (d. 1413) all of whom had written on Galen's Tegni.
