Oribasius was a compiler of existing knowledge rather than an original writer. His output was immense; he compiled the Synagogue, an encyclopaedic digest of medicine, hygiene, therapeutics and surgery from Hippocrates to his own times, in 70 volumes. The unwieldiness of it was probably the reason he wrote a synopsis of it. Only 17 volumes have survived. It was first printed by Aldus Manutius in Venice, in 1554 or 1555. -- H.W. Orr.
