Expositio Vgonis Senensis super Aforismos Hippocratis: & super commentum Galeni eius interpretis. Venice, Eredi di Ottaviano Scoto, 1517 Papers 159, 1 blank. Colophon on paper 159v: "Venetijs: sumptibus heredum quondam domini Octauiani Scoti Modoetiensis ac sociorum, 18 Iulij 1517." Typographic mark with initials O.S.M. in the recto of the last blank paper. Text in two columns, Gothic font. Numerous woodcut initials, many on criblé background. Some marginalia in old hand. Fine copy. Very rare edition. Collected in one volume are Benzi's two fundamental commentaries on the texts of Hippocrates and Galen. The commentary on the first work refers to Galen's "De Arte Medica," known as Tegni (a deformation of the Greek word τέχνη, "art"). During the Middle Ages, in fact, the Greek τέχνη ἰατρική was used to refer to Galen's Ars medica; the second work contains commentaries on the Aphorisms of Hippocrates. These commentaries on Hippocrates and Galen were born, according to the customs of the time, for the teaching in universities of classical texts: the doubts, problems, and discussions that arose from the teachers' explanations and the disciples' questions formed the basis of the quaestiones, through which the study of the ancient masters was attempted, and which were an integral part of the commentaries. Ugo Benzi, c. 1360 - 1439, born in Siena, initially studied at the Sienese Studio, then taught in Siena, Parma, Bologna, Pavia, Perugia and possibly at the Sorbonne; he was physician to the king of France, who called him to Paris. In 1437 he took part in the Council of Ferrara, at the call of Nicolò III d'Este, who had been cured of a serious skin disease by Benzi. First work: Durling; p. 221 n. 1845.

In one volume are bound two fundamental Benzi's comments on the Hippocrates and Galenus' texts. The commentary on the first work refers to Galen's "De Arte Medica," known by the name of Tegni (deformation of the Greek word τέχνη, "art"). During the Middle Ages, in fact, the Ars medica of Galen was indicated by the Greek term τέχνη ἰατρική; the second work contains the commentary on the Aphorisms of Hippocrates. These comments on Hippocrates and Galen were born, according to the customs of the time, for the teaching of classical texts in universities: the doubts, problems, discussions from the explanations of the masters and the questions of the disciples constituted the basis of the quaestiones, through which attempts were made to deepen the study of the ancient masters, and which were an integral part of the commentaries. Ugo Benzi, ca 1360 - 1439, born in Siena, initially studied at the Studio Senese, then taught in Siena, Parma, Bologna, Pavia, Perugia and perhaps also at the Sorbonne, was doctor to the King of France who called him to Paris. In 1437 he took part in the Council of Ferrara, at the request of Nicolò III d'Este, who had been cured of a serious skin disease by Benzi.
