| Summary | "Galeni pergamensis de temperamentis, et de inaequali intemperie" by Galen is a scientific publication written during the early 16th century. This work, translated into Latin by Thomas Linacre, explores the theories of humors and temperaments as understood in antiquity, which were pivotal to both medical and philosophical thought of the time. It emphasizes the importance of understanding these concepts not only for physicians but also for philosophers, reflecting on how they feed into broader discussions in natural philosophy. The beginning of this text serves as an introduction to the work, noting the translation's publication and its historical significance in the context of early medical education in Europe. It also contains a dedicatory letter addressed to Pope Leo X, highlighting Linacre's connections to the scholarly circles of the time. The introduction outlines the main themes of the work, preparing readers for discussions on how bodily conditions and external factors contribute to health and disease, exemplifying Galen's influential theories that shaped medical practices for centuries.
