1. Morgagni[JR], with Paaw, thinks it probable, that there is some
chasm in the text, because Celsus does not describe the coronal suture,
which he could not be ignorant of.
[JR] Ep. 4. p. 91.
2. _Over these muscles too, &c._ _Super bos quoque musculos, qui
tempora contegunt, os medium, in exteriorem partem inclinatam, positum
est._) Thus Linden and Almeloveen. All the other copies have, _sub
his musculis, qui tempora connectunt_; in the following words they
differ, which Ronsseus would read thus, _os medium in interiorem partem
inclinatam_; in this he was followed by Paaw, who was of opinion, that
Celsus intended here the _processus petrosus_; which Morgagni thinks
quite foreign to the question. It is probable, says the same author,
that Linden changed _sub his musculis_ into _super hos musculos_, to
make the description answer to the _processus zygomaticus_, which
our author describes a little after, under the name of _jugale_. His
own conjecture is, that Celsus wrote _sub his musculis, qui tempora
continent_, and that he meant that part of the temporal bone which is
covered by the crotaphite muscle. Morgag. Ep. 7. p. 212. 214. But as
this description of a bone is inserted in the midst of the sutures,
there is some foundation to suspect the whole to be an interpolation.
3. _The maxilla is a soft bone._ _Maxilla vero est molle os._) Thus
all the editions read, but Morgagni[JS] suspects _molle_ should be
_mobile, a moveable bone_; for Celsus himself calls the sternum a
strong and hard bone, which is not to be compared in that respect with
the maxilla.--It is no objection to this reading, that the author adds,
_solaque ea movetur_, for that is to exclude the upper jaw-bone. The
reader will please to observe, that maxilla, by our author, is applied
only to the lower jaw-bone, for he includes the upper jaw-bones under
the malæ.
[JS] Ep. 7. p. 211.
4. _Is broader below._) I have here followed the proposed emendation
of Morgagni, _infra_ for _intra_. Ep. 1. p. 40.
5. _And all the vertebræ._) What follows relating to the structure
and connection of the vertebræ, appears to be very much corrupted, in
so much, that the reading in all the copies makes our author contradict
himself. I shall be content with mentioning some observations of
Morgagni’s upon the reading of Linden. The words in the parenthesis
(says he) _exceptis tribus summis_, _except the three uppermost_, were
surely never wrote by Celsus, at least not as they stand; for if the
three first vertebræ want depressions in their superior surfaces, how
comes the first to receive into its depressions the two small processes
of the head, as our author immediately adds?
The adding of _parvis_ to _tuberibus_ he judges to be superfluous,
because Celsus had said just before _exiguis ejus processibus_. He
conjectures that _secunda superioris parti inferiori inseritur_ is
interpolated, because the connection is more natural without these
words. A little after follows _tertia eodem modo secundam excipit_, as
if a process stood out from the inferior part of the second vertebra,
to be surrounded by the third in the same manner, that its processus
dentatus is surrounded by the first; so that all these five words he
seems with justice inclined to expunge.
After these Linden adds, _Jamque vertebra tertia tubercula, quæ
inferiori inserantur, excipit_; which at first view must appear highly
absurd. I therefore have followed, in the translation, the reading of
Nicolaus, Pachel, Pinzi, Stephens, and Morgagni’s manuscript, _exigit_
for _excipit_.--See Morgagni Ep. vii. from 173 to 177.
6. _The six inferior ones._) Almeloveen and Linden read here _septem_
inferiores, others write _undecim_, as if the following description
related to all the ribs. But that is false, as appears by the sequel,
and it is plain, from the whole passage, our author could write nothing
else than _sex_.
7. _But at the first rib, &c._) This whole paragraph is extremely
obscure. The variation of reading in the older copies does not in
the least lessen the difficulty. If we were allowed to understand by
_jugulum_, _the neck_, the whole description, lame as it is, could then
answer no bone but the _clavicle_; but _jugulum_ in no other place
of this work seems to be used for any thing else but the _clavicle_,
so that _id ipsum, &c._ would appear to be the beginning of the
description of that bone.--Morgagni thinks, that though the description
is far from just, yet that most of the words, as they now stand,
relate to the _spine of the scapula_, which may be said to sustain the
clavicle; and it is observable, that if our author does not intend the
_spina scapulæ_ here, he makes no mention of it at all. Vide Morgagni,
Ep. vii. p. 177. I must own the reading appears to me so much depraved,
that it is impossible to determine, precisely, what our author has had
in view.
8. _Is a little concave, &c._) This translation follows Linden and
Almeloveen. In all the other copies the reading is _leniter gibbus,
et in priorem et posteriorem, interiorem et exteriorem partem_, as if
the bone was concave on no side. Morgagni[JT] therefore proposes a
reading agreeable to truth. _Leniter gibbus in priorem et posteriorem
et interiorem, cavus in exteriorem_; _i. e._ gently convex in its fore
and posterior, and internal part; concave externally.
[JT] Ep. vii. p. 216.
9. _The two bones of the fore arm at first, &c._) The reading in
Linden and Almeloveen is _primo vero duo radii et brachii ossa, &c._
which at once appears to be wrong, because Celsus had said before, _quæ
res sedem brachio præstat, quod constat ex duobus ossibus_, to which
two he immediately gives the names of Radius and Cubitus, so that it
would be sufficient, as Morgagni observes, to have wrote _duo brachii
ossa_, or if they must be named _duo radii et cubiti ossa_ according to
the first of which I have translated. The other editions have _primo
vero duobus radiis brachii ossa_. See Morgagni, Ep. i. p. 28.
10. _Properly enough, &c._) _Sura_ was the Roman name for the calf of
the leg, whence our author says, that name is properly enough given to
the fibula.
11. _The same may be collected._) _Colligi idem potest._ Morgagni[JU]
would have the old reading restored here, _nigrities colligi quidem
potest_. _A blackness may be discovered_, &c. because these words in
the next chapter, _sive autem nigrities quam terebra detexit, &c._ make
it plain the terebra was only used in sounding the blackness.
[JU] Ep. vi. p. 159.
12. _But if the blackness goes thorough._) Sin autem nigrities, and
then there follows _est aut si caries_, which appears a manifest error
by reason of what follows. With Constantine and Ronsseus, I therefore
judge these words should be expunged, and have taken no notice of them
in the translation.
13. _Is made by the angle of a chisel._) I here take the reading of
the older editions, _angulo scalpri sinus exiguus fit_. I suppose _sit_
in Linden and the later copies has been a typographical error. See
Morgagni, Ep. vi. p. 162.
14. _Being raised in the same._) I have here translated agreeably
to the old reading _excitatæ nares_, instead of which, by a palpable
error, Linden and Almeloveen had _exercitatæ nares_. Morgagni, Ep. i.
p. 29.
15. _The swelled part._) In Almeloveen and Linden it is _tumens
locus_, instead of which the old reading was better, _tum is locus_,
_then this par_t; because our author had not mentioned any swelling
before. Vid. Morgagni, Ep. v. p. 140.
16. _For if any part is separated from a vertebra, or is any way
broken._) This is according to the reading of Linden and Almeloveen;
but several of the older copies have _Si id, quod ex vertebra excedit,
aliquo modo fractum est_; that is, _If the part, that stands out from a
vertebra (the spinal process) is any way fractured_. This agrees very
well with what is said afterwards of the fragments being spinous.
17. _Which should be rolled about the fracture._ _Quæ circa fracturam
ter voluta._) I find no various reading in any of the editions, but
I think I can produce one from our author himself, who is far from a
profusion of words and repetitions, and thinks this circumstance of
importance enough to make a rule bcsy itself in the following words;
_Satisque est eam ter hoc quoque modo circuere_. Upon his authority I
have therefore ventured to omit the first _ter_.
18. _And if means only are found, &c._) The period in Linden and
Almeloveen runs thus, _Ac, si nihil aliud quam dolori occurrendum est,
idem, qui fuit, ejus usus est_; that is, ‘And if nothing else is to be
done but to remove the pain, its use continues the same as before.’ As
it is evident this cannot be our author’s meaning, I have followed in
the translation the old reading _occursum_ for _occurrendum_.
19. _Broader than the wound._) I follow here the old reading
_latioribus_ for _laxioribus_ in Linden, of which I could find no
proper sense. In the following words I have also removed the point at
_vulnus potest_ as the ancient editions have it, and the connection
seems to require.
20. _Must be applied with that part, &c._) This is according to
Linden’s edition.--None of the more ancient seem to give the true
reading of this whole passage taken together, but some of them afford
hints. Instead of _Acutæ ossis prominentis cuspidi_, Pinzi has _Recte
se habendi capiti_; others _Recte se habenti capiti_. Upon the whole I
think Morgagni’s[JV] reflections upon this passage extremely probable;
our author had before ordered a sharp point of a fragment to be either
cut off or filed down and smoothed: he is now considering how the
fragment itself is to be replaced. If we read it thus, the sense seems
to be pretty clear: _Vulsella, quali fabri utuntur, injicienda est
capiti ossis recte habenti, ab ea parte, qua sima est, &c._ that is,
‘A workman’s vulsella should be applied with that part, which turns
inward, to the sound end of the bone, that by its convex part the
prominent bone may be thrust into its place.’
[JV] Ep. v. p. 129.
21. _Unite obliquely._ _Solent tamen interdum adversa inter se ossa
confervere._) Thus Linden and Almeloveen.--But by what follows it is
plain _adversa_ was never wrote by our author in this place. Many
editions have _transversa_; others _diversa_, which I think is the
only probable reading, and have taken it in the same sense as Morgagni
does.--Ep. vi. p. 164.
22. _Of the scapula recedes from the humerus._ _Os scapularum ab
humero recedit._) Morgagni very ingeniously suspects that instead of
_ab humero_ our author wrote _ab jugulo_, because the clavicle is
joined with the scapula, as the tibia with the fibula. Ep. vii. p. 209.
As it now stands _ab humero_, it would come under the second head;
_Modo articuli suis sedibus excidunt_.
23. _Yet it is of no use._ _Et ut aliquid decoris eo loco, sic nihil
usus admittitur._) Thus Linden and Almeloveen, and I find no other
variation in any of the copies, except _sit_ for _sic_, which does not
alter the sense. Our author had said immediately before, ‘That bones
thus separated never come together again,’ which makes it improbable
he would add, ‘That some comeliness would remain.’ For this reason
I suspect we should read _amittitur_ for _admittitur_, and then the
meaning will be quite opposite, thus, ‘And though their comeliness is
impaired, yet their use continues the same as before.’
24. _Is less firmly held after it is reduced._) In a luxation of the
humerus from a lax habit Hippocrates advises the use of the actual
cautery, but with great caution, for fear of injuring the blood vessels
or tendons; and when the ulcers are clean and fit for cicatrizing, to
bind the arm close down to the side, and allow no motion, that the
cicatrix may contract the part the more, and strengthen the joint.
He censures the practice of his predecessors, who cauterized on the
external and anterior side, which ever way the bone had been luxated,
and observes that when the humerus is liable to slip into the arm-pit,
this would rather push it downward, than prevent its luxation. He
proposed therefore the new method of applying the cautery to that part,
toward which the bone is liable to be protruded. Hippocrat. de Articul.
p. 787, 788, and 789.
25. _That even frequent speaking, by the motion of the mouth, hurts
the nerves of the temples._) This is according to the reading of Linden
and Almeloveen. The old editions have _adeo ut sermo quoque frequens
motu oris per nervos lædat_; that is, _that even frequent speaking, by
the motion of the mouth by the nerves, hurts_. See Morgagni, ep. v. p.
130.
26. _Tone of the nerves be restored._) I follow here the old editions
in reading _restituta_ for _destituta_.
27. _That the finger may be restored, &c._) In Linden and Almeloveen,
_ut ita in locum, unde lapsus est digitus, restituatur_. [JW]Morgagni
observes, that our author had said, there were as many different cases
and the same signs as in the hands; but according to this reading he
takes no notice of the cure of lateral luxations. Whereas the whole is
set right by restoring the old reading, which was, instead of these
words, that are quoted from the original, _Atque id, quod in latus
elapsum est, digitis restitui_, _i. e._ “and that which is luxated
laterally ought to be reduced by the fingers.”
[JW] Ep. vi. p. 166.
28. _Having treated of the humerus._) _Cum de humeris dixerim._
We might here (says Morgagni) have taken _humeris_ for the superior
extremities as _cruribus_ for the inferior, but the MS. and all my
editions have _cum de his dixerim: de his quoque_ (or as Stephens has
it _de iis quoque_) _quæ in cruribus, &c._ Ep. vi. p. 167.
29. _By keeping the middle or upper part of the joint in some
canaliculus._) This whole sentence _Potest tamen conditus articulus
medius aut summus canaliculo aliquo contineri_, in all the old
editions is placed at the end of the _24th_ chap. and not here.--But
[JX]Morgagni suspects, and as it appears to me, very justly, it should
be rather referred to luxated fingers than toes, and that Linden
guided by some MS. had transferred it from the _24th_ to the _19th_,
from whence it was transposed to this place by the carelessness of the
copiers, where it stands very improperly.
