- Resum
- Recent historiographical theories exclude Padua from the universities - Bologna, Paris and Montpellier - where medical teaching increased between 1270 and 1320 through the introduction of a wide range of new works by Galen, the systematic study of the Canon by Avicenna and the interest of physicians in the zoological works by Aristotle. To contest this opinion, the paper presents a commentary on the first book of the Canon written by the Paduan professor of medicine Mondino of Cividale del Friuli in 1316, now in the ms. San Lorenzo del Escorial, Real Biblioteca del Monasterio, K. I. 2. It was pointed out by Ernest Wickersheimer in 1930, but has not been studied so far. Mondino comments on Avicenna on the ground of a profound knowledge of the Synonyma, a dictionary of pharmacobotanical and medical words by Simon Januensis. He was also the author of an abbreviated version of the Synonyma, which has been merely reputed until now as a practical tool. On the contrary, however, it was used for academic exegesis of texts. The analysis of sections of Mondino's commentary allows us to ascertain that he commonly used the same works by Galen which were prescribed in Montpellier in 1309 and studied in Bologna and Paris. The context emerging from Mondino's commentary also calls for attentive reconsideration of some statements by ancient Paduan bibliographers about Giovanni Sanguinacci and Matteo of Roncaiette, professors of medicine in the thirteenth century: they both must have been distinguished lecturers of the Articella and Matteo was probably the author of a no longer extant commentary on the Tegni by Galen.
