In recent decades, there has been a significantly increased interest in the work of Galen of Pergamum, resulting in many new editions, translations, and interpretations. The early 19th century Kühn edition, however, though it is gradually being superseded, is still the standard edition for many Galenic works. As is well-known, this edition is not without problems, and among other things, it includes a number of Pseudo-Galenic works, while it does not contain some of the authentic works we now have.
