The Kiss and the Medicine of LoveA Critical Edition of Francesco Patrizis Il Delfino\nAuthor(s): Tommaso Ghezzani\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Springer International Publishing AG, Switzerland\nImprint: Palgrave Macmillan\nISBN-13: 9783031752827, 978-3031752827\nSynopsis\nThis is a revised critical edition of philosopher and scientist, Francesco Patrizi's manuscript, Il Delfino, overo del bacio ([url] with an English translation and commentary. Il Delfino, or The Kiss survives in a single manuscript, compiled by an assistant and interspersed with autograph corrections by Patrizi himself. The only modern critical edition of the text, edited by Danilo Aguzzi Barbagli [tel], is known to contain many errors that prevent a correct understanding of the work. This book therefore fills this historiographical gap and at the same time provides a reliable text for further translations of Patrizi's work into other languages.
