Francis Adams' commentary on De re medica gives a fuller account of Greek and Roman medicine than is elsewhere accessible in English or perhaps in any modern language. We are indebted to Adams, a Scottish physician and classical scholar, for his important translations and contributions in the history of Greek medicine. This is the first English translation of De re medica and was Adams' major work.
