Resum

The ten contributions gather interdisciplinary analyses on the how's and why's of Montaigne's interest in thermal practices. In their consideration, they associate history of literature and history of medicine, with particular attention to documents of the era, to evidence of readings and readers, to uses and customs; and also to six and seventeenth-century studies on thermal baths, to the practice of 'travel' for curative purposes, to habits, hopes and disenchanted looks of travellers and of the travelling Montaigne.
