[Anatomophysiology of the male sexual apparatus in Galen].

Galen builds his andrology on animals dissections which he enlarges upon human anatomy by analogy, so it's very difficult to recognize the organs he describes, especially adenoeideis parastatai. His physiology of male sexual apparatus is based on the theory that semen comes from blood perfectly cooked in gonadics vessels and testicles. As usual, he tries to demonstrate Aristotle's principle on perfection of Nature's acts by experimentation, logic, imagination and sometimes insincerity.

[Antique and medieval representations of foetus in utero].

Until Renaissance, human foetus had never been drawn, except in an obstetrical manuscript from Moschion. He wrote towards the VIth century A.D. a little work in Latin extracted from Soranos' Gynecia for the instruction of midwives. He reviews the different cases of foetal presentations during delivery, and gives advice on the best method to adopt for each case.

[Translation and commentary of the Hippocrates treatise 'The illness of girls'].

De Virginibus traditionally belongs to Cnidian gynecologic treatises. The comparison with De Mulieribus shows a great difference in the physiology of menstruation and its diseases. The author, by explaining intelligence by the participation of heart and blood, is far from De Morbo sacro and draws near to Aristole's conceptions. Moreover, its vocabulary and rhetoric style indicate that this fragment can be attributed to a physician of Aristotle's period or later.
