[Peter of Abano and his Latin translations of Galen]
1Dipartimento di Neuroscienze, Facoltà di Medicina e Chirurgia, Università Politecnica delle Marche, Ancona, I.
Abstract:
Peter of Abano translated from Greek at least six works of Galen. These translations did not widely circulate either in manuscripts or printed editions. The previous Latin translations from Arabic were preferred in the University medical teaching, and the successive translations from Greek by Niccolò of Reggio obscured the ones by Peter of Abano. Moreover, the Greek sources used by Peter of Abano do not seem to belong to a tradition different from that of the preserved manuscripts. Nevertheless, Peter of Abano stands out as an original investigator of Greek medical texts.

Translation
Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from the genetic information carried by messenger RNA (mRNA). Following transcription, it constitutes the final step in the expression of genes. This process is carried out by ribosomes, complexes of protein and specialized RNA molecules. Ribosomes, transfer RNA (tRNA), and other proteins produce a chain of amino acids—the polypeptide—as the end product of translation.
