Les mélanges de médecine autour du Pseudo-Mésué: un corpus de textes et ses contextes de lecture (2019)

unapi

The article presents the first result of a larger project aiming at reconstructing the origins, the diffusion, and the reception of the Schriftencorpus attributed to a Pseudo Johannes Mesue. This corpus, consisting of four writings dealing with pharmacology and pharmacy, the "Canones universales," the "De consolatione simplicium medicinarum," the "Antidotarium sive Grabadin," and the "Practica sive Grabadin," achieved a considerable success between the 13th and the 18th century, as demonstrated by the numerous (ca. 230) manuscripts preserving the works in Latin, Italian, French, English, German, Dutch, Hebrew as well as the ca. 70 printed editions, in Latin, Italian, and French. The article addresses two major issues related to the first phases of the manuscript tradition and diffusion of the corpus, viz. its earlier phases of constitution and consolidation, and the manuscript contexts in which the works are preserved. As far as the first question is concerned, some specific attention is paid to the identification of the oldest manuscripts, and to the reconstruction of the development of the "Practica sive Grabadin," an incomplete text that circulated, in various combinations, together with two Additiones attributed, respectively, to Peter of Abano and Francesco da Piedimonte. As for the second question, the trends in the transmission of the Schriftencorpus are defined with the help of some miscellaneous manuscripts belonging to the "Collectio Amploniana" preserved in the University Library of Erfurt, the "Collectio Palatina latina" now in the Vatican Library, and some codices originally part of the library of the Kollegiatenstift Sankt-Blasius in Braunschweig, and now of the "Collectio Augustea" of the Herzog August Bibliothek Wolfenbüttel. With the help of the manuscripts preserved in those collections, the interaction of the Schriftencorpus with the medical culture diffused in the academic contexts of Paris, Padua, and Heidelberg are examined and emphasized.
