This medical trearty of the eye was for half a millennium the great authority and most popular manual in its field. Twenty two manuscripts and 18 printed page editions are known, though few of either survive, a tribute to its usefulness to the surgeon, oculist, and cataract operator. It serves today as an indispensable aid to the understanding of the history of ophthalmology and its progress from the tenth to the twentieth centuries.
