Aulus Cornelius Celsus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Aulus Cornelius Celsus (25 BC—50) was a Roman encyclopedist and possibly, although not likely, a physician. Celsus is credited with recording the cardinal signs of inflammation: calor (warmth), dolor (pain), tumor (swelling) and rubor (redness and hyperaemia). Celsus' work was rediscovered by Pope Nicholas V and published in 1478. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Aulus_Cornelius_Celsus   (274 words)

Aulus Cornelius Celsus Biography | World of Health Aulus Cornelius Celsus is considered one of the most important contributors to medicine and scientific thought during the Roman Empire, and the most important source of present-day knowledge of Alexandrian medicine. Also, while the professional practice of medicine was considered beneath the dignity of noble families of the era, knowledge of medicine was usual among educated men, many of whom as head of the household practiced medicine on ill family members, slaves, and livestock. Celsus is believed to have died in Rome somewhere around AD 50 but not until fourteen hundred years after his death did he gain recognition and praise for both his medical techniques and masterful literary ability. www.bookrags.com /biography/aulus-cornelius-celsus-woh   (871 words)

Celsus's Decircumcision Operation Celsus does not mention the strong pull exerted on the skin by the retraction of the annular scar around the base of the penis. While Celsus does not refer explicitly to the Jews, a glans bared by circumcision was associated with Jewishness in Rome during the early empire. Celsus recommends linamenta, dressed flax (L. usitatissimum) to arrest bleeding (5.26.23.C, 7.30.3.C); to repress the fungation of flesh (5.26.30.C); to dress wounds (7.14.4, 7.19.9); to prevent separated edges of skin from reuniting. www.cirp.org /library/restoration/rubin   (2412 words)

Aulus Cornelius Celsus Biography | scit_0112_package.xml Aulus Cornelius Celsus has been called the first important medical historian and one of the greatest Roman medical writers, as well as the creator of scientific Latin. Because Celsus wrote in Latin, during an era in which Greek was considered the language of medicine and scholarship, Roman and medieval scholars ignored his work. Surgery, according to Celsus, should be the most satisfying field for the practitioner because the surgeon knew that a cure was the result of his skill, not mysterious forces, accident, or good fortune. www.bookrags.com /biography/aulus-cornelius-celsus-scit-0112   (690 words)

Aulus Cornelius Celsus Biography | Encyclopedia of World Biography Spencer, the most recent translator of his works, supports an older, minority view that the details of medical procedure, the experienced judgment shown in the selection of treatment, and the not infrequent use of the first person reveal an author with an intimate acquaintance of clinical medicine who must have been himself a practitioner. The majority opinion holds that Celsus was a compiler who, like Cato the Elder and M. Terentius Varro, wrote his work on medicine as part of a general encyclopedia. Traditionally he is called Aurelius, but Aurelius is a clan name, not a prenomen; hence Aulus, a common first name among the Cornelii, has been suggested and has manuscript support. www.bookrags.com /biography-aulus-cornelius-celsus/index.html   (441 words)

Roman Medical Practice & Massage - Massage Magazine Aulus Cornelius Celsus (25 B.C.E.–57 C.E.) is credited with scribing the first organized medical history, tracing the development of healing practices from the simple remedies of "barbarous" nations to Hippocrates and Alexandrian medicine. He was a faithful follower of Hippocrates, and was known less for his medical practice than for the advice he recorded as a medical encyclopedist. Celsus provides the following remark, quoted by Herman L. Kamenetz in Manipulation, Traction and Massage, which expresses the thoughts of Hippocrates regarding massage: "Vigorous friction's [sic] harden the fiber, light friction's loosen it. www.massagemag.com /Magazine/2005/issue113/history113.php   (1047 words)

Life Enhancement:: Fighting Cataracts with N-Acetylcarnosine Known in his time as the “Roman Hippocrates” and the “Cicero of Medicine,” Celsus was forgotten during the Middle Ages, when his works were lost. They were rediscovered during the Renaissance, however, and Celsus came to be revered by scholars of that period. One such scholar was the brilliant, eccentric Swiss physician and alchemist Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim, an iconoclastic genius who blazed new trails in those fields and set the stage for the future field of medicinal chemistry. www.life-enhancement.com /article_template.asp?ID=1686   (2435 words)

Massage Hierontaa Some of the famous people of the past who incorporated massage into their life are: Hippocrates of Cos (460-377 B.C.), Asclepiades (a greek physician), Julius Caesar (100-44 B.C.) and Aulus Cornelius Celsus (a native Roman physician; 25 B.C.-50 A.D.).

Color, rubor, dolor, tumor (heat, redness, pain, and swelling)--the cardinal signs of inflammation that Aulus Cornelius Celsus taught in the first century A.D.--provided a focus for medicine that continued through the next two millennia.

NZEPC - Mark Young - Paracelsus : The Philosopher’s Stone Made Flesh Yet just as alchemy was concerned with separating the pure metal from the dross, history has consolidated the reputation of Paracelsus the scientist from out of the mythology, much of it arcane, that has kept his name alive. Para-celsus means literally beyond (Aulus Cornelius) Celsus, a Roman doctor and encyclopaedist of the first century AD whose work, along with that of Galen and Aristotle, was still used as a standard medical text in the universities of Paracelsus’ time. From an age of famous men, Carl Jung selects Paracelsus as a ‘true mirror of his century’ (Jacobi, Foreword); and Jacob Bronowski chose him to symbolise that ‘instant in the ascent of man when he steps out of the shadowland of secret and anonymous knowledge into a new system of open and personal discovery.’ www.nzepc.auckland.ac.nz /authors/young/paracelsus.asp   (2232 words)
