ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the Galenic corpus, whose dissemination in the Byzantine world was widespread and influential. It examines the various revivals of Galen's Therapeutics to Glaucon, which was copied widely. The chapter provides some basic introductory details on Galen's Therapeutics to Glaucon, followed by a section on its circulation and textual transmission in Byzantium. It discusses its revival by Byzantine medical authors into two further sections; the first focuses on commentaries and the second deals with medical handbooks. The chapter focuses on the modes of presentation of the Galenic work in association with its commentaries. It deals with the extant commentary on the text by Stephen and the corresponding branch diagrams. The chapter discusses a collection of scholia, which might not necessarily be connected with the study of the Galenic treatise in Alexandria, but was intended to offer supplementary information to help the reader understand the text better.
