Rare Paduan edition which collects five works by the Veronese author (Tommaso Bovio 1521 - 1609) in a single volume. Scourge of the rational doctors, published in Venice in 1583, prompted a reply from Claudio Gelli (Venice 1584), which was then followed by Melampigo in 1585 and in 1592, the Fulmine. There are many references to the Veronese and Padua environment and of particular interest are the positions of Bovio, who called himself Zefiriele out of magical-kabbalistic conviction, who drew heavily from the Paracelsian and alchemical culture, going so far as to attribute great importance to astrology in medical practices. He printed a collection of Latin verses, Horifugia, in 1567 in Venice. Having returned to Verona, in 1572 he made a plea to Pope Gregory XIII asking to be able to assume the new name of Zefiriele, in his belief, derived from his magical-kabbalistic culture, that this could bring him beneficial influences. In these years he became, as he himself wrote, the doctor "of the desperate and abandoned"; the conviction of possessing curative remedies of uncommon value, in contrast with traditional medical practice, found expression in his Flagello de' medici rationali, printed in Venice in 1583. The work aroused a response from Claudio Gelli (Venice 1584), to whom Bovio replied with the Melampigo overo confusion of the medical sophists who call themselves rationali (Verona 1585), which was followed, in 1592, by the Fulmine contro de' medici putatitii rationali, printed in Verona. they had between the century. XVI and XVII numerous reprints: the Melampigo in 1595, the Flagello and the Lightning in 1601; two editions in 1626 collected the three works in a single volume, which were reprinted in Venice in 1676 together with Gelli's response. The latter, a young Venetian doctor, did not limit himself to underlining the alchemical derivation and the Paracelsian origin of preparations presented by B. as original, but tried to put his opponent in a bad light by noting his well-known propensity for judicial astrology and insinuating that his medical claims were linked to demonic practices. B.'s Melampigo constitutes a defense of the importance of astrology for medicine as well as an affirmation of the legitimacy of magic. MZ2. …
