Sažetak
ABSTRACT The book De Medicina by Aulus Cornelius Celsus was the first com-
plete treatise about medicine written in Latin. We know little about his life. The
monography consists of eight books describing all that was known within the
whole sphere of medicine and surgery in the first century AD. In the introduc-
tion (proemium), he also described the history of medicine until his time and also
delineated the treatment of diseases that may be dietetic, medication-based or
surgical. The treatise describes approximately forty skin diseases in a concise and
clear style.
