8 Petrarch’s source is Pliny, Historia naturalia, tr. W.H.S. Jones (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1963), Book 29, 1-8; Petrarch makes repeated use of Pliny, see especially, the Invective, henceforth cited as ICM, I, 828; II, 868, 872; III, 912.
9 The classification of medicine as a mechanical art can be found durante Hugh of St. 11; Petrarch refers esatto medicine as verso mechanical art also per XII, 2, 454, 466, 473-4.

12 On Petrarch and the dialecticians see Pietro Paolo Gerosa, Umanesimo cristiano del Petrarca; Grazia agostiniana, attinenze medievali (Turin: Dispensa d’Erasmo, 1966), 208f. 13. Petrarch seems onesto collapse dialectic and logic; on this issue see Eleonore Stump, Dialectic and its Place con the Development of Medieval Logic (Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1989).
14 Petrarch is not above employing syllogizing, mediante deepest irony, of course; see ICM, III, 932: “Certe ego nunc risu et verecundia impedior sillogismum tibi tuo parem mittere, quo probem te vilissime servum rei. Quod urbanius possum dicam: si quod alio spectat, et ad aliud refertur, et propter aliud levante inventum, illi serviat oportet, ut cache vis. Ricetta autem abima pecumian spectat et ad illam refertur et propter illam est. Conclude, dyaletice: ergo pecunie serva oriente.”
15 Petrarch also argues that the more necessary is not by that more noble: “Igitur putas necessitas artium nobilitatem arguat. Contra levante; alioquin nobilissimus artificum erit agricola; sutor quoque et pistor et dissimule, si mactare desieris, durante precio eritis,” ICM, III, 894-6; cf. III, 910.
16 “. . . the doctor had done nothing at all, nor could he have except what verso loquacious dialectician, rich con boredom and lacking durante remedies, can do”; “Medicum nil omnino vel fecisse, vel facere potuisse, nisi quod dialecticus loquax potest, taedii dives, inopsque remedii.”
18 I use the edition, Conciliator controversarium quae inter philosophos eet medicos versantur (Venice: apud Juntas, 1548). Nancy Siraisi’s discussion of d’Abano mediante Arts and Sciences at Padua; The Studium of Padua before 1350 (Toronto: Pontifical Institute of Medieval Studies, 1973), is excellent. D’Abano notes the attack on him as Averroist by the Dominicans per Differentia 48; Nardi contests the notion of d’Abano as Averroist sopra “La credenza dell’anima ed la periodo delle forme dietro Pietro d’Abano,” 1-17, and “Circa alle dottrine filosofiche di Pietro d’Abano passion,” per Studi sulla cultura aristotelica nel Veneto, I: Saggi sull’Aristotelismo padovano dal tempo XIV at XVI (Florence: Sansoni, 1958), 19-74. P. Ovverosia. Kristeller makes the point that Petrarch’s opponents in the De sui ipsius et multorum ignorantia were probably Bolognese, not Paduans, durante “Petrarch’s ‘Averroists’; Per Note on the History of Aristotelianism per Venice, Padua, and Bologna,” Bibliotheque d’Humanisme et Renaissance, 14 (1952), 59-65. Giessena (Giessae: Casparus Chemlinus, 1621).

21 See the argument cited in Differentia 3, (8r): “. . . medicari non oriente scientia directe: sed quidam actus et labor particularis, et de tali vuoto levante scientia . . . regulat mediante actu operandi particularem et tunc consequitor medicinae finis perfecte, quod ostenditur.”
