(_e_) _Prognosticon anni 1481_, in which is embodied _Oratio contra turcos & hostes Christianorum_, s. 1. Jan. 1481. (_f_) _Centilogium de medicis et infirmis_, Bologna, 1488. With a dedication to Bentivoglio. This short work is wholly astrological, and consists of one hundred precepts concerning the relationship of the stars to various diseases and conditions. Reprinted Venice, 1500, and Nuremberg, 1530. The following three works are attributed to Manfredi, but are not mentioned in Hain, Copinger, or Reichling’s lists of Incunabula; we have not seen any of them and their existence is doubtful. (_g_) _Ephemerides astrologicae operationes medicas spectantes_, mentioned in the _Biographisches Lexikon der hervorragenden Aerzte_ of E. Gurlt and A. Hirsch. Possibly it represents another edition of (_e_). (_h_) _Quaestiones subtilissimae super librum aphorismorum_, Bologna, 1480 (?), mentioned by Haller.[179] Possibly it represents another edition of (_b_). (_i_) _Chiromantia secundum naturae vires ad extra_, Padua, 1484, mentioned by Haller.[179] IV. THE MANUSCRIPT ANATOMY OF MANFREDI The MS. of Manfredi’s _Anatomy_ is in the Bodleian Library at Oxford (Canon. Ital. 237, Western 20287). It is a fairly preserved small quarto parchment, originally of forty-nine folios, of which the third and fourth are missing. The writing is in the fine Italian hand that the printed type of the period was accustomed to imitate. There are no figures or illuminations, but the titles are rubricated in burnished gold or in colours. There is no reference to this work in any account of Manfredi, and the volume itself appears to be quite unknown. Neither the man nor his work is mentioned in Medici’s detailed history of the anatomical school at Bologna[180] nor in Martinotti’s recent study on the same topic,[181] nor is any MS. of Manfredi included in Mazzatinti’s monumental catalogue of the MSS. in the Italian libraries.[182] Manfredi’s MS. is written in the involved Italian of the day, with sentences of inordinate length. These general characters of style are encountered also in his published works. The dedication is in Latin, of the same unpleasing quality, and is couched in the usual subservient manner. It is addressed to Giovanni Bentivoglio, and in it Manfredi relates that ‘Your illustrious lordship Johannes Bentivolus in this present year 1490 with your usual humanity condescended on one occasion to watch the dissection of a corpse.... It was then that you saw the wonderful works of Nature in the anatomy ... and you parentally urged me, Hieronymo Manfredi, to inscribe to your most noble name this work on anatomy.... I therefore extracted this work as best I might from various works of antiquity and abbreviated it. I have not followed their order, but I have so composed it that the work should be pleasing to your lordship.
