• Resumen

  • In 1994, in collaboration with Luis García Ballester and Eustaquio Sánchez Salor at the first Trobada Internacional d'Estudis sobre Arnau de Vilanova, we reflected on the Arnaldian authorship of the commentary on De morbo et accidenti. Our analysis was based on the only extant manuscript (Kraków, Biblioteka Jagiellon'ska, 781, ff. 131r157v) that dates the copy to 1335 and attributes the work to Arnau de Vilanova (c. 1240-1311). After examining a number of arguments, we decided not to rule out the possibility of Arnaldian authorship lato sensu, either as totally genuine or as a product of a re-elaboration of genuine materials carried out by an anonymous colleague. Without closing this possibility down, the present paper invites us to move the focus of the discussion out of Montpellier and to revisit the authorship of the Kraków commentary in dialogue with the Italian tradition of commentators on De morbo et accidenti outlined in 1345 by Gentile da Foligno (d. 1348).
