Reutilización de fuentes en recetarios médicos de la antigüedad tardía: Teodoro Prisciano-Teraupetica-Tereoperica.

The Teraupetica (sic) and the so-called Tereoperica are medical recipe books roughly ascribed to Late Antiquity. Despite their similar titles and similar arguments in their prefaces, the relationship between these books has not been explored yet. The main source of the Teraupetica, in both the preface and the recipe chapters, is the first book of Theodorus Priscianus’ Euporista. Taking Priscianus’ work as a control tool, it can be proved that: (1) the Tereoperica’s preface is a re-writing of the opening statement of the Teraupetica; (2) a number of Tereoperica’s medical recipes have also been taken from the Teraupetica. In summary, the Teraupetica are earlier and one of the sources of the Tereoperica.
