La medicina medievale è un campo di studi ancora ampiamente inesplorato, a causa soprattutto dell'assenza di edizioni affidabili dei testi. Un importante ricettario medico è il Thesaurus pauperum, le cui prescrizioni prevedono l'impiego di ingredienti facilmente reperibili e sono destinate alla cura di patologie presentate secondo il consueto ordine a capite ad calcem. Il successo del Thesaurus pauperum è confermato dall'ampio numero di testimoni latini e dalle molte traduzioni. Il libro offre l'edizione critica del volgarizzamento pisano del Thesaurus pauperum; il testo si può datare alla prima metà del XIV sec. ed è tràdito da sei manoscritti. L'introduzione riflette sulla posizione del Thesaurus pauperum nel contesto della medicina pratica medievale e ne presenta i differenti volgarizzamenti italoromanzi. L'edizione critica è seguita dal commento linguistico e dal glossario della terminologia tecnica della botanica e della medicina. L'edizione e l'analisi linguistica del volgarizzamento di un testo centrale nella medicina medievale si annunciano proficue per approfondire le conoscenze storico-linguistiche sulla scienza medievale in volgare. Medieval medicine is a field of study still largely unexplored, due mainly to the absence of modern editions of texts.One of these texts is the Thesaurus pauperum, a collection of recipes prepared with natural (and easily accessible) ingredients, conceived as a manual for self-medication. The extraordinary success of this work is proved by its large number of Latin witnesses and by the abundant vernacular translations.The book presents for the first time the critical edition of the Thesaurus pauperum in ancient Pisan vernacular: the text is transmitted by six manuscripts, and dates back to the 14th century. This critical edition is completed with the linguistic analysis of the text and with a glossary of botanical and medical terms. A general introduction put this work in context, offering a survey of medieval medicine and dealing specifically with the different Italian translations of the Thesaurus pauperum. This book provides an useful contribution to the study of history of medicine and to the study of Italian linguistics, thanks to the description of ancient Pisan vernacular and to the lexicological analysis.

If art, science, and the humanities have shared one thing, it was their common engagement with constructions and representations of the human. Under the pressure of new contemporary concerns, however, we are experiencing a “posthuman condition”; the combination of new developments-such as the neoliberal economics of global capitalism, migration, technological advances, environmental destruction on a mass scale, the perpetual war on terror and extensive security systems- with a troublesome reiteration of old, unresolved problems that mean the concept of the human as we had previously known it has undergone dramatic transformations. The Posthuman Glossary is a volume providing an outline of the critical terms of posthumanity in present-day artistic and intellectual work. It builds on the broad thematic topics of Anthropocene/Capitalocene, eco-sophies, digital activism, algorithmic cultures and security and the inhuman. It outlines potential artistic, intellectual, and activist itineraries of working through the complex reality of the 'posthuman condition', and creates an understanding of the altered meanings of art vis-à-vis critical present-day developments. It bridges missing links across disciplines, terminologies, constituencies and critical communities.--
