Bernardo Torni. Opuscoli filosofici e medici. Ed. Montelli Marina Messina. (Pubblicazioni del “Centro di Studi del Pensiero Filosofico del Cinquecento e del Seicento in Relazione ai Problemi della Scienza” del Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Università degli Studi di Milano, Serie III, Testi, no. 8.) Florence: La Nuova Italia Editrice, 1982. xliii + 91 pp. L. 8,000. - Bernardo Torni (1452-1497) taught logic, philosophy, and for most of his career medicine at the University of Pisa. He had personal connections with the family of Lorenzo de’ Medici; the future Pope Leo X was as a youth Torni's patient. As Marina Messina Montelli points out, Torni has hitherto been chiefly remembered as the author of a brief Relatio anatomica published in two modern editions, neither of them critical, and of a commentary on Heytesbury twice printed in early editions. Almost all the rest of Torni's known surviving works have now been edited for the first time by Dr. Montelli from the only two known manuscripts of a set of his short treatises and quaestiones, namely Riccardiana 930 (formerly L. III.XXI) and Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, Ottoboni Lat. 1508 (formerly a.3.19), fols. 72–103.
