Aulus Cornelius Celsus fu un enciclopedista romano, noto per la sua opera medica sopravvissuta, De Medicina. Ritenuta l'unica sezione superstite di un'enciclopedia molto più ampia, De Medicina è una fonte primaria su dieta, farmacia, chirurgia e campi correlati. Le sue opere costituiscono una delle migliori fonti per la conoscenza medica nel mondo romano. Le parti perdute della sua enciclopedia comprendevano probabilmente volumi su agricoltura, diritto, retorica e arte militare.
Celsus, a layman, provides in On Medicine more information about the condition of medical science up to his own time (probably first century CE) than any other author. Book I is on Greek schools of medicine and dietetics; Book II on prognosis, diagnosis, and general therapeutics; Book III on internal ailments; Book IV on local bodily diseases.
Aulus Cornelius Celsus' De Medicina Libri 8 is a classic text on general medicine. Written in the 1st century AD, this work covers a wide range of medical topics including surgery, disease, and pharmacology. A must-read for medical students, physicians, and history enthusiasts alike.

Aulus Cornelius Celsus hat mit seinem Werk ›De medicina‹ das gesamte medizinische Wissen seiner Zeit umfassend gebündelt. Einige seiner Erkenntnisse sind bis heute gültig, wie seine Beschreibung über die Anzeichen für Entzündungen. Seine antike Abhandlung über die Medizin ist das einzige erhaltene Kapitel der verloren gegangenen Enzyklopädie ›Artes‹ und wurde vermutlich um 25 n. Chr. verfasst. In acht Bücher untergliedert, befasst sich ›De medicina‹ mit den verschiedenen Teilbereichen der Medizin: Angefangen bei einer allgemeinen Geschichte der Medizin, behandeln weitere Bücher die Pathologie, einzelne Krankheiten und Erkrankungen der Körperteile, die Wissenschaft über die Wechselwirkung zwischen Stoffen und Lebewesen bis hin zur Chirurgie und Knochenbehandlungen. Erstmals ist ›De medicina‹ nun in einer vollständigen zweisprachigen Ausgabe erhältlich.
