Il "Tractatus de pulsibus," di Alfano Io arcivescovo di Salerno, sec. xi: Trascrizione del codice 1024 della biblioteca dell'Arsenale di Parigi (da carta 16 v. a carta 18 r). Annotazioni e commento con tavoli di riproduzione del testo [di] Pietro Capparoni.

Alfanus I or Alfano I, a physician before he became archbishop, was one of the earliest doctors of the Schola Medica Salernitana. He was Archbishop of Salerno from 1058 to his death. He was famed as a translator, writer, theologian, and medical doctor. Alfanus translated many manuscripts from the Arabic. His interest in medicine and the translation of Arabic treatises led him to invite Constantine the African from Carthage (in what is now Tunisia) to Salerno to assist him. Constantine brought with him a library of Arabic medical texts which he commenced to translate into Latin.
