Abstract

Abstract The ophthalmic treatise Practica oculorum by Benvenuto Grassus has always attracted considerable attention, as it is shown by the numerous studies on the text and by the various editions that have appeared until recent times. The present paper aims to advance some reflections on the editorial history of the treatise and on its Romance translations. Specifically, a comparison of the four Latin incunabula and the four Romance versions of the text will highlight its role in both professional and non-professional environments during the 14th and 15th centuries.
