2 Winter 2004 LEONARDO DA VINCI AND PRINTED ANCIENT MEDICAL TEXTS: HISTORY AND INFLUENCE Joanne Snow-Smith University of Washington, Seattle Abstract From the so-called Library of Leonardo da Vinci, reconstructed by scholars based on literary works mentioned in his writings, we learn much about his interest in the printed ancient medical texts available in his time. In addition to traditional sources, Plato and Aristotle, we also find Arelius Celsius' De Medicina, Pliny's Natural History, Soranus' work on obstetrics and diseases of women, and the voluminous written work of the Greek Physician Galen, who had relied heavily on the Corpus Hippocrates.
