Description
Summary:The article aims at shedding light on a collection of prophetic texts contained in an early sixteenth-century Italian manuscript of medical prescriptions and prognostications from Florence and Ferrara (ms. 425, Wellcome Historical Medical Library, London). This collection shows unusual peculiarities: the prophetic texts are inserted in the text of Johannes Lichtenberger’s Pronosticatio (in its Italian vernacular version) at apparently random positions. Moreover, the manuscript, considered as a whole, allows the author to appraise the social milieu of circulation of the prophetic genre.
