To the human reader,
Hippocrates wrote some universal, brief, and few precepts in medicine. Indeed, knowledge comes from universals. But to dwell on particulars (which do not even constitute an art) has no end. Therefore, anyone who can write such universal precepts and apply them to specific and individual cases is to be praised in their writing. For this reason, I have presented 57 universal canons and rules concerning the stone and the physical work, through which you will easily see the depicted art, provided you meditate on them with sharp judgment and diligence. Enjoy these in the praise of Jesus Christ. Farewell.
