Siraisi, Nancy G., Arts and sciences at Padua: the Studium of Padua before 1350, Toronto, Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies (Studies and Texts, 25), 1973, 199 pp.
- Resum
- Nancy Siraisi has written the definitive study of the development of arts and sciences at Padua before 1350. ... [She] has surveyed the existing manuscripts sources and almost all the printed ones in this country, in England, France and in Italy. She has paid particular attention to the relationship between medicine and astrology, as well as the libri naturales of Aristotle and natural philosophy. Though she discusses the nature of the curriculum and lists the faculty and courses, she emphasizes the works of writers known to be associated with Padua in some way or another or whom she believed might have been available to students or faculty there. In this last case she usually supplies evidence for her conjecture that a text ‘would have been known at Padua,’ or books that were ‘most certainly used,’ or which may have ‘supplemented or replaced’ others, and ... readers will have to judge for themselves whether her evidence is convincing. In my mind her arguments are usually persuasive. ... Within the limits of the task she [has] set herself the book is outstanding. It is to be hoped she will amplify and extend her scope in her later works. The book is well printed, has a comprehensive bibliography, and, as befitting a monograph published by the Pontifical Institute, has the footnotes at the bottom of the page. -- Vern L. Bullough, in Renaissance Quarterly (1974).
