An heir to Lucretius and Virgil among others, the physician and humanist Fracastor finds in poetry a privileged means of exploring the universe and the world.
- By (author) Jerome Fracastor
- Edited by Christine Dussin
Review - French LaSyphilis(1530), poeme latin en trois livres du medecin et humaniste Fracastor, recherche les causes tant cosmiques que physiologiques de l'epidemie et de sa propagation periodique, puis decrit divers remedes, certains mythiques, d'autres lies aux theories et pratiques novatrices de l'auteur. C'est aussi le recit initiatique d'un voyage a la recherche d'un bois curatif dans l'ile d'Hispaniola (Saint-Domingue) et une figuration originale des moeurs des Indiens. Heritier, entre autres, de Lucrece et de Virgile, Fracastor trouve dans la poesie un mode privilegie d'exploration de l'univers et du monde.
