8 Petrarch’s source is Pliny, Historia naturalia, tr. W.H.S. Jones (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1963), Book 29, 1-8; Petrarch makes repeated use of Pliny, see especially, the Invective, henceforth cited as ICM, I, 828; II, 868, 872; III, 912.

9 The classification of medicine as a mechanical art can be found con Hugh of St. 11; Petrarch refers onesto medicine as verso mechanical art also con XII, 2, 454, 466, 473-4.

10 Fracassetti, Lettere della vecchiaia, vol. 2, 242-3, translates a passage not found in Bernardo’s edition: “Inaspettatamente volubilita di professione, quasi di nuovo inutilita della rimedio,” XII, 2.

V. Nutton remarks that verso good manuscript of Galen’s works was available at the papal breviligne con 1353, John Caius and the Manuscripts of Galen, (Cambridge: Cambridge Philological Society, 1987), vol

12 On Petrarch and the dialecticians see Pietro Paolo Gerosa, Umanesimo caritatevole del Petrarca; Ascendente agostiniana, attinenze medievali (Turin: Credenza d’Erasmo, 1966), 208f. 13. Petrarch seems puro collapse dialectic and logic; on this issue see Eleonore Stump, Dialectic and its Place per the Development of Medieval Logic (Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1989).

14 Petrarch is not above employing syllogizing, mediante deepest irony, of course; see ICM, III, 932: “Certe ego nunc risu et verecundia impedior sillogismum tibi tuo parem mittere, quo probem te vilissime servum rei. Quod urbanius possum dicam: sinon quod alio spectat, et ad aliud refertur, et propter aliud oriente inventum, illi serviat oportet, ut cache vis. Cura autem asphyxia pecumian spectat et ad illam refertur et propter illam levante. https://datingranking.net/it/uniformdating-review/ Conclude, dyaletice: quindi pecunie domestica est.”

15 Petrarch also argues that the more necessary is not by that more noble: “Igitur putas necessitas artium nobilitatem arguat. Contra levante; alioquin nobilissimus artificum erit agricola; sutor quoque et pistor et deguise, sinon mactare desieris, sopra precio eritis,” ICM, III, 894-6; cf. III, 910.

16 “. . . the doctor had done nothing at all, nor could he have except what per loquacious dialectician, rich durante boredom and lacking mediante remedies, can do”; “Medicum nil omnino vel fecisse, vel facere potuisse, nisi quod dialecticus loquax potest, taedii dives, inopsque remedii.”

18 I use the edition, Conciliator controversarium quae inter philosophos eet medicos versantur (Venice: apud Juntas, 1548). Nancy Siraisi’s discussion of d’Abano durante Arts and Sciences at Padua; The Studium of Padua before 1350 (Toronto: Pontifical Institute of Medieval Studies, 1973), is excellent. D’Abano taccuino the attack on him as Averroist by the Dominicans con Differentia 48; Nardi contests the notion of d’Abano as Averroist mediante “La dispensa dell’anima ed la vita delle forme conformemente Pietro d’Abano,” 1-17, and “Circa alle dottrine filosofiche di Pietro d’Abano,” per Studi sulla tradizione aristotelica nel Veneto, I: Saggi sull’Aristotelismo padovano dal secolo XIV at XVI (Florence: Sansoni, 1958), 19-74. P. O. Kristeller makes the point that Petrarch’s opponents con the De sui ipsius et multorum ignorantia were probably Bolognese, not Paduans, per “Petrarch’s ‘Averroists’; A Note on the History of Aristotelianism sopra Venice, Padua, and Bologna,” Bibliotheque d’Humanisme et Renaissance, 14 (1952), 59-65. Giessena (Giessae: Casparus Chemlinus, 1621).

21 See the argument cited in Differentia 3, (8r): “. . . medicari non est scientia directe: sed quidam actus et labor particularis, et de tali nulla oriente scientia . . . regulat in actu operandi particularem et tunc consequitor medicinae finis perfecte, quod ostenditur.”
