In 1220 Pietro da Eboli wrote a poem in hexameters on the medical benefits of the different thermal waters at the beginning of the 13th century. The use of the baths for therapeutic purposes became popular among the most demanding physicians. For the first time, themes of preventive medicine are also introduced and at the end, in alphabetical order, a table of diseases and corresponding baths appears. The poem, of great success, was translated both into Neapolitan dialect and French, and with this edition it is now presented in Spanish and English.
The most likely owner was Alfonso of Aragon, Duke of Calabria (1448-1495), later King Alfonso II of Naples, and bequeathed to San Miguel de los Reyes (Valencia) by Ferdinand of Aragon, Prince of Taranto in 1550. It is one of the most beautiful manuscripts of the Library of the Duke of Calabria.
