Preliminary considerations on the columns and framings of the Nicetas codex (Laur. Plut. 74.7)

Résumé

The Nicetas codex (Laur. Plut. 74.7) dated 10th century is the oldest extant Greek manuscript on Hippocrates and his followers with commentaries of orthopaedic methods on fractures, luxations, subluxations, and bandaging techniques. Of visual interest are two texts, Apollonius of Citium on methods of joint treatment techniques, and Soranus of Ephesus on bandaging. The Apollonius of Citium text contains 29 color illustrations of Hippocrates techniques of reducing luxations of the joints, framed with semicircular pediments, two columns and arches. These frames are similar to the columns and arches seen in the Eusebian Gospel tables. The authors discuss the meaning of these frames as they apply to the Eusebian Gospels, and their importance as mnemonic devices for the Apollonius of Citium illustrations.
