Specialist Notes

Beautiful ensemble of two valuable works by fifteenth-century commentators: ApollinareOffedi, Aristotelian physician and philosopher, born in Cremona and lived in the 15th-16th centuries and Paolo Veneto, Augustinian, theologian and philosopher, professor in Padua. He was born in Udine around 1386 and died in Venice or Padua probably in 1428.
