ABSTRACT
The stemma codicum is not clear, although the Vindobonensis medicus graecus 48 and the Florentinus Laurentianus 75, 19 appear particularly close and form the unifi ed text discussed in chapter 5 . The Vindobonensis is the earliest manuscript containing some of the προσταγαί chapters, and there tends to be a presumption, even bearing in mind the dictum recentiores non deteriores , that it may be nearer the archetype in accuracy than the later manuscripts.
