Isn't the genetive corporis wrong in ars curandi et sanandi corporis humani et animae? Shouldn't it be ars curandi et sanandi corpus animamque humanum? --Rafaelgarcia 21:34, 19 Octobris 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Both constructions are grammatical, but I'm worried about the style: too much verbal stuff. And anima is rather 'soul'; cf. mens sana in corpore sano. --Neander 22:04, 19 Octobris 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I tend to agree with you, Rafael, participles should govern the same case as the finite verb (and some nouns!!! in Plautus there is a "tactus eum", a "touching him"!), but Neander is right that this is ok. Even if not, you could blame it on attraction =] --Ioscius ^(disp) 22:10, 19 Octobris 2007 (UTC)[reply]
