Abstract

Abstract Rufus of Ephesus (fl. c.100 c.e.) was a prolific medical author and practitioner in the Imperial period whose historical importance has been obscured by the loss of most of his works. One of the largest gaps in our knowledge of Rufus’ corpus is his gynaecological writings, none of which survives in full. This article assembles and comments on several fragments from Rufus’ lost gynaecological work On the Retention of Menses (perhaps Περὶ τῶν ἐπεχομένων ἐμμήνων). Comparison of overlapping passages from the authors Ibn al-Jazzār (tenth century) and Aëtius of Amida (sixth century) reveals that more fragments of this work in Arabic and Greek have survived than previously thought. These fragments provide new evidence for the analysis of Rufus’ medical thought, and further our understanding of gynaecology in the Roman empire.

以弗所的鲁弗斯关于月经保留的新片段
以弗所的鲁弗斯(约公元前100年)是帝国时期一位多产的医学作家和实践者,其历史重要性因其大部分作品的遗失而模糊不清。在我们对鲁弗斯文集的了解中,最大的空白之一是他的妇科著作,没有一本完整地保存下来。本文对鲁弗斯遗失的妇科著作《论月经保留》(可能是Περ ς τ ν ν πεχομ ν ν μμ ν)中的几个片段进行整理和评论。比较伊本al-Jazzār(10世纪)和阿米达Aëtius(6世纪)作者的重叠段落,可以发现这部作品中阿拉伯文和希腊文的片段比之前认为的要多。这些碎片为分析鲁弗斯的医学思想提供了新的证据,并进一步加深了我们对罗马帝国妇科的理解。
