Lodovico Settala’s Aristotelian Problemata Commentary and Late-Renaissance Hippocratic Medicine

  • Chapter
Early Modern Medicine and Natural Philosophy

Part of the book series: History, Philosophy and Theory of the Life Sciences ((HPTL,volume 14))

Abstract

Renaissance physicians, influenced by humanism and spurred by their increased knowledge of Hippocratic and Galenic writings, attempted to assimilate these medical works with Aristotelian thought. The similarities between the Aristotelian Problemata and the Hippocratic Airs, Waters, Places allowed Girolamo Cardano and Lodovico Settala, among others, to blur the distinctions between natural philosophical and medical authorities. Philological and historical considerations of these texts as well as judgments about authenticity were colored by the belief that these works were useful for humoral physiology and offered insights into the unity of ancient and modern knowledge.
