Muscio

Muscio (also Mustio) is the supposed author of the Genecia (Gynaecia), a treatise of gynecology dating to ca.

Analysis of his vocabulary suggests that he may have come from North Africa.

The usually cited 6th century date for his work is somewhat doubtful.

[2] His one surviving work is a simplified, and abbreviated, Latin translation of the Gynecology of Soranus.

Numerous copies of this work from the ninth to the fifteenth century still survive, and it was the most important source for Eucharius Rösslin when he wrote his Rosengarten in 1513.
