Abstract
The present contribution, based on the direct examination of the manuscript tradition, aims at specifying the precise relationship between the five manuscripts that contain the Galenic treatise De compositione medicamentorum secundum genera. The example of both ancient manuscripts M and C is in particular another illustration of the importance of the monastery of St. John the Prodrome and of the library of the xenon of Kral, in the history of the Galenic text. The study also identified the model of the Aldine printed in 1525. The modern lector indeed has to be aware that the edition princeps (on which depend all the later editions until the reference edition, that of C. G. Kühn printed in Leipzig in 1827) result in reality from a collage made between two texts from two different manuscripts.
