SAVONAROLA, Giovanni Michele (1385-1468).

Libreto delo excellentissimo physico maistro Michele Savonarola de tutte le cose che se manzano comunamente e piu che comune, e di quelle se beuono per Italia, e da sei cose non naturale, et le regule per conservare la sanita delli corpi humani con dubiinotabilissimi. Nuovamente stampato. Venise : per Simone da Lovere, 21 août 1508.

La diététique par le grand-père du prédicateur Savonarole : édition originale, en italien. Professeur à l'université de Padoue, il est nommé médecin de la cour des Este, à Ferrare, en 1440. Cette nomination modifie en profondeur la manière de travailler de Savonarole et les visées de ses écrits. Là où, à Padoue, il pratiquait une médecine "technique", à destination de spécialistes et de lettrés, compilant des idées et observations trouvées chez Avicenne, Aristote ou HIppocrate ; lorsqu'il rejoint la maison d'Este, à 55 ans, il s'adresse également à un lectorat de non spécialistes. Il publie alors autant en latin qu'en langue vernaculaire. En plus de ses traités médicaux, il signe également quelques textes consacrés à la politique, à la morale ou encore à la diététique, comme ici. Dans son De tutte le cose che se manzano, paru de manière posthume, il décrit les aliments, leurs propriétés, leurs vertus et leurs inconvénients - céréales, viandes, poissons, fuits, légumes, eau, miel et alcools divers. USTC : 855314 ; CNCE 58913 ; Brunet, V, 173 ; Cagle, 1180 ; Bitting, 626.



In-4 gothique (207 x 150 mm) de 54 ff. (signés a-m4 n6). 2 colonnes, 44 lignes (rousseurs et mouillures, défaut de papier en marge extérieure du feuillet n1, et en marge inférieure du feuillet n6, pliures obliques anciennes aux cahiers a et n, et au feuillet c2). Cartonnage du XIXe siècle (dos passé).

Provenance : annotations marginales anciennes, en italien.
