ABANO, PIETRO

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 7 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: A10-ADA
ABANO, PIETRO D' (1250-1316), known also as PETRUS DE APONO or APONENSIS, Italian physician and philosopher, was born at the Italian town from which he takes his name in 1250, or, according to others, in 1246. After studying
medicine
  and philosophy at Paris he settled at Padua, where he speedily gained a
great
  reputation as a physician, and availed himself of it to gratify his avarice by refusing to visit patients except for an exorbitant fee. Perhaps this, as well as his meddling with
astrology
 , caused him to be charged with practising magic, the particular accusations being that he brought back into his purse, by the aid of the
devil
 , all the money he paid away, and that he possessed the philosopher's stone. He was twice brought to trial by the
Inquisition
  ; on the first occasion he was acquitted, and he died (1316) before the second trial was completed. He was found guilty, however, and his
body
  was ordered to be exhumed and burned ; but a friend had secretly removed it, and the
Inquisition
  had, therefore, to content itself with the public proclamation of its sentence and the burning of Abano in effigy. In his writings he expounds and
advocates
  the medical and philosophical systems of Averroes and other Arabian writers. His best known works are the Conciliator differentiarum quae inter philosophos et medicos versantur (Mantua, 1472 ; Venice, 1476), and De venenis eorumque remediis (1472), of which a
French
 
translation
  was published at Lyons in 1593.
