Galenus is the historical form listed in the introduction's catalogue, rendered Galen in English. Its inclusion joins medical and philosophical prestige to the treatise's account of eminent possessors of the art. The unit offers no particular Galenic work, doctrine or episode and does not distinguish the grounds on which each person is included. The entry therefore records the designation and its rhetorical role without supplying an unsupported biography or treating the catalogue's assertion as verified evidence of alchemical achievement.
