Scribonius Largus (c. 1-c. 50) was the court physician to the Roman emperor Claudius.

About 47 AD, at the request of Gaius Julius Callistus, the emperor's freedman, he drew up a list of 271 prescriptions (Compositiones), most of them his own, although he acknowledged his indebtedness to his tutors, to friends, and to the writings of eminent physicians.[1] Certain traditional remedies are also included. The work has no pretensions to style, and contains many colloquialisms,[2] and has been cited by Peter Suber as a forerunner of Open Access.[3] The greater part of it was transferred without acknowledgment to the work of Marcellus Empiricus (c. 410), De Medicamentis Empiricis, Physicis, et Rationabilibus, which is of great value for the correction of the text of Largus.[4]

See the edition of the CompositionesbyS. Sconocchia (Teubner 1983), which replaced the well-outdated edition[5]ofG. Helmreich (Teubner 1887).

Largus is credited with an early description peripheral nerve stimulation in the form of shocks from electric fish to provide relief from gout and headaches.[6]
