No prior complete English translation of this text has been found.
Extensive searches across multiple scholarly and library catalogs (including UNESCO Index Translationum, Internet Archive, and others) yielded no evidence of any English translation of Georg Hummel's 1623 medical disputation, 'Disputatio De pleuritide'. Given the nature of this work—a specific, localized academic disputation from the early 17th century—it is highly probable that no English translation exists.
