(Aurelius Cornelius), a celebrated physician of the first century, who wrote eight books on medicine, in elegant Latin. He was the Hippocrates of the Latins, and Quintilian gives him a high eulogium. The great Boerhaave tells us, that Celius is one of the best authors of antiquity for letting us into the true meaning and opinions of Hippocrates; and that, without him, the writings of this father in phy- Celsus would be often unintelligible, often misunderstood by us. He shows us also how the ancients cured distempers by friction, bathing, &c. His eight books de Medicina have been several times printed. The Elizivir edition, in the year 1650, by Vander Linden, is the best, as being entirely corrected from his manuscripts.
