Archaeology of Medical Writing. From Collections to Singular Consilium: Investigation of Collections on Short Works
Archéologie d’une écriture médicale. Des recueils au conseil singulier : enquête sur les collections manuscrites de formes brèves
Résumé
A genre of medical writing since the end of the 13th century, consilia are first and foremost practical acts, responding to a request for advice from a colleague or patient about a particular pathology. Gradually standardized, they were most often preserved and transmitted in collections: either in miscellanea, gatherings of
different texts and advice from various masters, or in collections of consilia written by the same master. They were often used in university teaching. By studying the manuscript tradition of parts of the collections of Marsile Santasofia, Antonio Cermisone, and Bartolomeo Montagnana, we will try to understand how, by a
complex process of writing, these short works gave rise to works in their own right which associate the ministry and the magisterium of a master.
