Abstract:
It is known that Post-byzantine painting was greatly influenced byWestern painting mainly through the wide circulation of prints. There isa unique case, however, of a byzantine medical manuscript of the 10th cent.(Laurent. LXXIV, 7) bought by Janus Lascaris in 1492 on account ofLorenzo di Medici, which constituted the source for the text of two 16thcentury Greek manuscripts (Paris. Graec. 2247 and 2248) and of one in Latin(Paris. Lat. 6866). The latter lead to a Parisian edition of 1544 translatedinto Latin by Vidus Vidius and dedicated to King Francis I, entitled «DeChirurgia e Graeco in Latinum conversa interprete . .» (pi. 54, 2).This article is mainly concerned with the illustrations accompaningthe text of the manuscripts made by the 16th century artist Francesco Salviati and his assistant (pis. 55, 1 - 2). These drawings were based on theoriginal byzantine illustrations and on some schematic drawings made bya friend of Janus Lascaris, the Greek doctor Johannes Santorineus (pis.53, 1 - 2). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the importance of theintermediary role of the doctor's drawings which clarified the byzantineillustrations and served as the prototype for Salviati's drawings (pis. 53,1-2 and 55, 1).
