Manuscripts containing Greek medical texts were inventoried by
author and work at the beginning of the 20th century by a group of
philologists under the direction of Hermann Diels. Useful as it was
- and will continue to be - Diels' catalogue omitted authors and
works, misidentified manuscripts, and overlooked codices.
Furthermore, since the publication of the catalogue, some libraries
have adopted a new system of classification, manuscripts have been
destroyed, items have changed location, and new ones have come to
light. The present Census is a checklist of the Greek medical
manuscripts currently known in collections worldwide. It is both an
amended and updated index of Diels' catalogue, and a list of the
items missed or overlooked in Diels, or located since. Although it
does not supersede Diels' catalogue, it is the indispensable
instrument for a New Diels, and will be the reference for years to
come for any new critical edition and medico-historical research
based on manuscripts, besides providing the basis for a broad range
of other historical inquiries, from codicology to the history of
medicine and science, including Byzantine intellectual history,
Renaissance studies and humanism, history of the book and early
printing, and the history of medical philology and learning.
