8 Petrarch’s source is Pliny, Historia naturalia, tr. W.H.S. Jones (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1963), Book 29, 1-8; Petrarch makes repeated use of Pliny, see especially, the Invective, henceforth cited as ICM, I, 828; II, 868, 872; III, 912.
9 The classification of medicine as per mechanical art can be found sopra Hugh of St. 11; Petrarch refers sicuro medicine as verso mechanical art also per XII, 2, 454, 466, 473-4.

V. Nutton remarks that a good manuscript of Galen’s works was available at the papal courtaud mediante 1353, John Caius and the Manuscripts of Galen, (Cambridge: Cambridge Philological Society, 1987), vol
12 On Petrarch and the dialecticians see Pietro Paolo Gerosa, Umanesimo cristiano del Petrarca; Carisma agostiniana, attinenze medievali (Turin: Licenza d’Erasmo, 1966), 208f. 13. Petrarch seems sicuro collapse dialectic and logic; on this issue see Eleonore Stump, Dialectic and its Place in the Development of Medieval Logic (Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1989).
14 Petrarch is not above employing syllogizing, in deepest irony, of course; see ICM, III, 932: “Certe ego nunc risu et verecundia impedior sillogismum tibi tuo parem mittere, quo probem te vilissime servum rei. Quod urbanius possum dicam: si quod alio spectat, et ad aliud refertur, et propter aliud est inventum, illi serviat oportet, ut cache vis. Medicina autem abattit pecumian spectat et ad illam refertur et propter illam levante. Conclude, dyaletice: allora pecunie schiava oriente.”
15 Petrarch ciò che è transgenderdate also argues that the more necessary is not by that more noble: “Igitur putas necessitas artium nobilitatem arguat. Contra levante; alioquin nobilissimus artificum erit agricola; sutor quoque et pistor et tu, sinon mactare desieris, sopra precio eritis,” ICM, III, 894-6; cf. III, 910.
16 “. . . the doctor had done nothing at all, nor could he have except what per loquacious dialectician, rich in boredom and lacking in remedies, can do”; “Medicum nil omnino vel fecisse, vel facere potuisse, nisi quod dialecticus loquax potest, taedii dives, inopsque remedii.”
18 I use the edition, Conciliator controversarium quae inter philosophos eet medicos versantur (Venice: apud Juntas, 1548). Nancy Siraisi’s discussion of d’Abano mediante Arts and Sciences at Padua; The Studium of Padua before 1350 (Toronto: Pontifical Institute of Medieval Studies, 1973), is excellent. D’Abano notes the attack on him as Averroist by the Dominicans durante Differentia 48; Nardi contests the notion of d’Abano as Averroist per “La credenza dell’anima e la epoca delle forme conformemente Pietro d’Abano,” 1-17, and “Circa alle dottrine filosofiche di Pietro d’Abano,” sopra Studi sulla tradizione aristotelica nel Veneto, I: Saggi sull’Aristotelismo padovano dal mondo XIV at XVI (Florence: Sansoni, 1958), 19-74. P. O. Kristeller makes the point that Petrarch’s opponents con the De sui ipsius et multorum ignorantia were probably Bolognese, not Paduans, per “Petrarch’s ‘Averroists’; Per Note on the History of Aristotelianism per Venice, Padua, and Bologna,” Bibliotheque d’Humanisme et Renaissance, 14 (1952), 59-65. Giessena (Giessae: Casparus Chemlinus, 1621).
