Codex "De Balnea Puteolanis" was written by Petrus Ebola in the early thirteenth century poems in hexameters.  The benefits of the different thermal waters of Pozzuoli and Baia are described.   Unlike some manuscripts of this work, the University of Valencia appears at the beginning of "Tabula super balnea Puteoli" attributed to Arnau of Villanova where one can read a list of diseases, in alphabetical order, indicating where restrooms they can be cured.
