Studies on De Balneis Puteolanis
VViews > 03-05-2018, 09:31 AM
Following a discussion in another thread, I thought it would be a good idea to create a library thread to bring together all the literature regarding Pietro Da Eboli's De Balneis Puteolanis.
Here are some ressources (and links when possible).
Please feel free to add more, or to provide links to online versions of these if you find them!

The oldest surviving manuscript (Roma, Angelica library) is not digitally available online.
The fr.wikipedia list is not complete. According to You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view., there are 12 illustrated manuscripts dating to the XV Century or before. The paper mentions one that does not appear in the wikipedia list (Parma, Codice Palatino 236, dating to the first half of the XIV Century). -

The newest publication I have seen is
Wulfram, Hartmut: Enzyklopädische Topographie vor antikem Hintergrund. Petrus de Ebulo De balneis Puteolanis ..-You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
In: Die Renaissance der Heilquellen in Italien und Europa von 1200 bis 1600, S. 215-246, Boisseuil. Didier [Hrsg.].
- Frankfurt a. M. [u.a.] (2012)
And there is a whole bunch of publications by Silvia Maddalo, I would have to look up the bibliographical data -

I went to the library and checked a couple of the books mentioned above:
Maddalo, S: Il De Balneis Puteolanis Di Pietro Da Eboli : Simbolo e realtà Nella Tradizione Figurata, Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, 2003.
Kauffmann, "The Baths of Pozzuoli: A Study of the Medieval Illuminations of Peter of Eboli’s Poem". Oxford: Bruno Cassirer, 1959.
It was a quick visit and I could not take the books home, so I only have superficial impressions. Maddalo is very much focussed on the Anglica manuscript, and seems to be more concerned with the illustrations, their style and origin.
Kauffmann is a shorter work, but it is extremely informative.
In particular, he provides a list of manuscripts. Those illustrated are:
1. Rome, Angelica ms 1474 [1275ca] (some illustrations on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.)
2. You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. [1360 ca]
3. You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. [1360 ca] (this ms is new to me and the illustrations are quite interesting, if not so beautiful, or because of that)
4. You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. [1360 ca]
5. You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. [1392]
6. St. Gall Mettler Beuer [1400 ca] (now You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.)
7. You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. [1425 ca] (terrible black and white scans, but the illustrations seem similar to those of Ottobon. above)
8. You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. [1460 ca]
9. Edinburgh Univ. Ms 176 [1450 ca] (only a few images available online You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.)
10. Milan Ambrosiana Ms. I 6 Inf [1471] (a couple of illustrations You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.)
Kauffmann also mentions a XVI Century ms with illustrations derived from this tradition:
* Naples, Società Napoletana di Storia Patria, Ms.XX C.5 [1520 ca]
We can also add the above mentioned:
* You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. [1350 ca]
* Parma, Codice Palatino 236 [1325 ca]
Finally, I think this could also be illustrated (the text is the same Italian translation as BAV Ross.):
* Naples, Biblioteca Nazionale, ms. XIII. C. 37 [1340 ca?]
This manuscript was published in:
Andria, M., "L' antica scienza campana del benessere: i Bagni di Pozzuoli e la Regola Salernitana : dal Ms. XIII.C.37 della Biblioteca nazionale di Napoli", 1991 - I will check this book next time I visit the library.
Kauffmann also provides a "stemma" of the tradition (for some reason, the Edinburgh ms is not included). "Paris" is Fr.1313 and "Mettler" is Morgan G74. As you can see, no manuscript derives from the older one at the Angelica Library: there seem to be several independent traditions originating from the lost archetype. -

I'd be interested to learn more about that, though for obvious reasons the work is not accessible to me. If you get around to reading it, please don't hesitate to share any bits you find interesting

I remember that she discusses the work as a "bildercodex" (a new word, for me). She says that text and images were conceived together: it is a work that was created from the start as a whole made of words and pictures. This makes sense: both text and illustrations follow a fixed format that make it easy to present them on the two sides of an open page. I am curious to understand more of what a bildercodex is: maybe it is a concept that could help us understand more of Quire 13.
Anyway, Kauffmann also discusses the illustrations: I am sure he is worth reading too. -

Bildercodex is not much more than a more scientific name for Bilderbuch/picture book, even if it is a quite good description of the Eboli-mss, more good medieval examples are the Biblia pauperum mss. or the Sachsenspiegel mss.
The newest Maddalo publication I have found is
Il 'De balneis Puteolanis' di Pietro da Eboli nel ms. 236 della Biblioteca Palatina di Roma - in: Scritti Francesco Gandolfo (2011) S. 403 - 414
