L'hospidale de'pazzi incurabili
註釋Early attempt by Tommaso Garzoni to classify and describe different forms of insanity. Garzoni, a popular and prolific author, was an acerbic critic of the decadent world around him. A quintessential Catholic Reformation cleric, he was ahead of his time in using craniognomy to explain the scurrilous sonnets of poets like Pietro Aretino; see R.M. Bell. How to do it (Chicago 1999), page 246.
