A. Cornelius Celsus. Of Medicine. In eight books. Translated with notes critical and explanatory by James Grieve.
London: Printed for D.Wilson and T. Durham, 1756.
First English translation of Celsus De medicina. That it was translated into English for the first time in the mid-eighteenth century is a reflection of the use of Latin as the international language of medicine and science well through the end of the 18th century.
