Il volume raccoglie una serie di ricerche, condotte in un decennio, sulla produzione epidemiologica di Giovan Filippo Ingrassia (1510-1580). La tesi di fondo è che le teorie sulla eziogenesi dei morbi erano già mature nello scienziato siciliano già dai primi anni ’50 del XVI secolo, cioè ancor prima di ricoprire l’incarico di protomedico del regno, allorquando dovette affrontare un’epidemia che colpì Palermo. Nella determinazione delle cause epidemiche Ingrassia guarda, come i suoi predecessori, anche a quelle cosmiche, ma le pone in secondo piano rispetto a quelle materiali, le uniche su cui può agire la medicina. Il volume comprende anche la Parte Quinta dell’Informatione, pubblicata dal protomedico in occasione della recidiva del 1577 e preceduta da un saggio introduttivo, e completa in questo modo la riedizione completa dell’opera più famosa di Ingrassia. [Abstract translated by DeepL Translator: This is the abstract in English… This volume brings together a series of researches, conducted over a decade, on the epidemiological output of Giovan Filippo Ingrassia (1510-1580). The underlying thesis is that theories on the etiogenesis of diseases were already matured in the Sicilian scientist as early as the early 1550s of the 16th century, that is, even before he held the post of protomedico of the kingdom, when he had to deal with an epidemic that struck Palermo. In determining epidemic causes Ingrassia also looks, like his predecessors, at cosmic ones, but he places them in second place to material ones, the only ones on which medicine can act. The volume also includes Part Five of the Informatione, published by the protomedico on the occasion of the 1577 relapse and preceded by an introductory essay, and thus completes the complete reissue of Ingrassia's most famous work.]
