Aetije Amidski

Aetije Amidski (Grčki: Ἀέτιος Ἀμιδηνός; lat: Aëtius Amidenus; aktivan od okkvirno sredine 5. do sredine 6. veka) bio je vizantijski grčki lekar i autor u oblasti medicine.^[1]^[2] Posebno se isticao po obimu svoje erudicije.^[3]

Godine njegovog rođenja i smrti nisu poznate, ali čini se da njegovi spisi datiraju s kraja 5. ili početka 6. veka.

Aetije je verovatno bio hrišćanin.^[4] Ako je tako, on bi bio među prvim zabeleženim grčkim lekarima hrišćanima.^[5]

Ponekad ga mešaju sa Aetijem, poznatim arijancem koji je živeo u vreme cara Julijana.

Život

Bio je etnički Grk,^[6]^[7] i rodom iz Amide (današnji Dijarbakir, Turska), grada u Mesopotamiji,^[8] i studirao je u Aleksandriji, koja je bila najpoznatija medicinska škola tog doba.

Aetije pominje patrijarha Kirila Aleksandrijskog, koji je umro 444.^[9] i Petra arhijatra, verovatno lekara Teodoriha Velikog,^[10] koga opisuje kao savremenika, pa se čini da je pisao na samom kraju 5. veka ili početkom 6. Njega citira Aleksandar od Trala,^[11] koji je živeo verovatno sredinom 6. veka.

Aetije je putovao i posetio rudnike bakra Soli, Kipar, Jerihon i Mrtvo more.

U nekim rukopisima on nosi titulu komēs opsikiou (κόμης ὀψικίου), latinski comes obsequii, što znači glavni oficir koji se stara o caru.^[12]

Dela

On je verovatno prvi grčki pisac medicinskih radova među hrišćanima koji daje bilo koji primer uroka i čarolija.^[13]^[14]

Napisao je Šesnaest knjiga o medicini ( Βιβλία Ἰατρικά Ἑκκαίδεκα). Iako njegovo delo ne sadrži mnogo originalnih radova i u velikoj meri se bazirao na radu Galena i Oribasijusa,^[15] ono je ipak jedan od najvrednijih medicinskih dela antike, jer je kompilacija radova mnogih autora, koji su bili deo Aleksandrijske biblioteka, i koji su odavno izgubljeni.^[16]

U rukopisu za knjigu 8.13 reč ἀκμή (akme) je napisano kao ἀκνή, odakle je potekla moderna reč akne.^[17]

Zabeleženo je da je razvio mešavinu za kontracepciju koja se sastoji od aloje, semenki cveća, bibera i šafrana. Takođe je poznato da je razvio smešu koja izaziva abortus, čiji sadržaj nije poznat.^[18]
