From the second half of the 15th century an unprecedented availability of paper led students to take notes freely on anything they considered useful or interesting for their education and, more generally, for their future. The case study of the notebooks belonging to a student from Danzig who stayed in Wittenberg in the 1560s, will show how the multi-text documents produced by students contribute to a better understanding of both their educational needs and their original reworking of academic knowledge.","PeriodicalId":212680,"journal":{"name":"Mediterranea.

After providing new data on Seth’s biography, our analysis focuses on his three main medical works, whose nature and reception were very different but which are all extensively based on Arabic science: the Refutation of Galen, the On Foodstuffs and the On the Handbook of Health (the latter being, as we show, a partial translation of Ibn Buṭlān’s Taqwīm al-Ṣiḥḥa). We analyse the context of production of each of these three works, the way Seth uses and quotes (or does not quote) his Arabic sources, and their Byzantine reception.","PeriodicalId":212680,"journal":{"name":"Mediterranea.

By deliberately disobeying God, Adam and Eve reject chastity and claim the divine power of giving life. Their transgression is therefore rooted in the presumption of overcoming the limits of human nature through concupiscence. Moving from the connection between theology and sexuality, Agrippa examines the role of man/faith and woman/reason, which symbolize existential choices aiming at the spiritual redemption of humankind.","PeriodicalId":212680,"journal":{"name":"Mediterranea.
