Later works by Jacques Desparts and Jacopo Berengario da Carpi continued building on the Synonyma. Then, as now, writers struggled with the terminology used in various translations from earlier Greek, Latin, Hebrew, and Arabic works. By the time of Antonio Guaineri (died in 1440 ) and Savonarola, this work was used alongside others by Oribasius, Isidore of Seville, Mondino dei Liuzzi, Serapion, and Pietro d'Abano. Of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia, Henry wrote in 1905 that "It is the first edition of the first medical dictionary." However, this claim is disputed as the composition only included lists of herbs and drugs. The Synonyma Simonis Genuensis (the Synonyms of Simon of Genoa), attributed to the physician to Pope Nicholas IV in the year 1288, was printed by Antonius Zarotus at Milan in 1473. Other precursors to modern medical dictionaries include lists of terms compiled from the Hippocratic Corpus in the first century AD.
The earliest known glossaries of medical terms were discovered on Egyptian papyrus authored around 1600 B.C. An illustration from Appleton's Medical Dictionary edited by S.
