The teachings of the Tegni in Italian universities in the second half of the fourteenth century.

To challenge the opinion that in the second half of the fourteenth century there was a gap in the production of scholastic exegetical works, this paper discusses nine commentaries on the Tegni that were produced in Padua, Perugia and Bologna and transmitted mostly in the form of recollectiones by students. Their authors were Giovanni Dondi dall'Orologio, Albertino Rinaldi da Salso, Giovanni Santasofia, Antonio da Scarperia, Cristoforo Degli Onesti, Marsilio Santasofia, and the author of Vatican Lat. MS 4472. The interpretation of the Galenic latitudo sanitatis was of central importance in these commentaries and was the focal point for two brief introductions to the first book of the Tegni, written by Bolognino and Pietro d'Arezzo. Bolognino's text is edited in an appendix to this paper.

[Court physicians and universities].

Medicine in the setting of the royal courts of Europe from Renaissance to the Enlightment has been recently discussed, but Italian court medicine has been so far very largely neglected. In this article central problems are the relations between court medicine and academic medicine and the social status of the court physician in the fourteenth century. Both problems are investigated in two Italian courts: the Visconti court in Milan and Pavia and the Aragonese court in Sicily. the list of the Visconti physicians and astrologers attests that they had all been celebrated university professors and that their condition as personal physicians to Galeazzo and Gian Galeazzo was far superior to the academic one in honour and salaries. Their role could also be representative and political. This was expecially the case of Ruggero de Camma, who was chosen as personal physician to the Aragonese king Martino II and appointed by him as first protomedico for political reasons.
