The most recent attempt to publish his corpus as a whole remains C. Daremberg and E. Ruelle's Oeuvres de Rufus d'Éphèse: texte collationé sur les manuscrits, traduits pour la première fois en français, avec une introduction (1879).

Important studies of Rufus' corpus were subsequently published in the 20th century by Johannes Ilberg[5] and Alexander Sideras.

Rufus also provided commentary on some of the works of Hippocrates, and he was said by Galen to have been a diligent student of them,[13] and to have always endeavored to preserve the ancient readings of the text.

Fuat Sezgin[15] stated that a copy of the manuscript ‘Risalah al Nabidh’ is extant at present only in the Library of University of Aleppo.

Hakim Syed Zillur Rahman edited the second copy of the manuscript ‘Risalah al Nabidh’ dated 1745 AD with translation and detailed commentary.
