- Resum
- The manuscripts of the Aragonese kings, seized in 1495 in Naples by Charles VIII and deposited in 1501 in the Royal Library at Blois by Louis XII, are rich in scientific texts, and in particular medical texts. Among them, fifty books are from the library of Lanzalao de Pisinis, personal physician to Duke Alphonse de Calabre. After Lanzalao's death in 1477, this collection, coveted by King Ferdinand I, was incorporated into his library, bound, and catalogued. The manuscripts form a homogeneous set with distinctive codicological characteristics, such as format, pagination, and script, and contributions by scribes of foreign origin who settled in Italy and who specialized in copying scientific treatises. The texts, from Aristotle to Niccolò Falcucci, give an idea of the professional background of doctors at the end of the fifteenth century, and indeed they can be found in other contemporary medical libraries. The comments made on the texts, foliation and tables, ex-libris, dimensions, and notes in Hebrew, allow us to imagine the life of these volumes, as they passed from hand to hand, from the moment they were copied to their integration in the library of Castel Nuovo in Naples.
