[The iconography of illness in the Middle Ages: two Swabian documents]. / L'Immagine della malattia del medioevo: due testimonianze di eta sveva.

ABSTRACT

Two herbaria, dating at the end of XIII century and now in Firenze and Vienna, offer an interesting documentation about the history of medicine and pharmacy in Italian Southern Italy during Federico II's age. Their inluminures allow to paint a faithful picture of the medioeval attitude towards illness and pain.
