- Resum
- Reliable information about insects considerably increases c. 1230, due to the recent availability of Aristotle's De animalibus (Arabo-Latin version of Michael Scot), Avicenna's Canon (Gerard of Cremona's translation), and the circulation of Book XI of Pliny's Historia naturalis. This is the reason why this research examines a corpus of Latin naturalist texts between 1230 and 1270, in order to observe the evolution of the "philosophical" discourse on the "vermin", that is to say the class of vermes, also called annulosa or rugosa. I focused on the "philosophical" natura of lice, fleas, bedbugs and ticks in the encyclopaedias of Thomas of Cantimpré, Bartholomew the Englishman, Vincent of Beauvais, who still transmit some exegetical correspondances, and in the naturalistic commentaries of Albert the Great, who rationalises and systematizes the same information. These natural philosophers also transmit prophylactic measures in accordance with the Greek and Salernitan medical tradition.
