The monograph presents for the first time to the Bulgarian reader one of the great medical treatises of Antiquity - "On Medicine" by Aulus Cornelius Celsus; making a detailed analysis of its content and language. Its appearance corresponds to the need to start publishing ancient medical works in our country; considered in their sociocultural context with an emphasis on their linguistic side, because this represents a return ad fontes; of Greek-Latin medical terminology, which is still widely used today, leading to its better familiarization and understanding.

The book is of interest to doctors, teachers and students of medicine and related specialties. Of particular value is the unique specialized terminological dictionary included in it, suitable both for specialists in the field of ancient languages and for all those who would like to learn more about the origins of European medicine.
