Augustine of Trent

He entered the Augustinian order and studied astrology and medicine.

In 1340, he was the chaplain of Bishop Nicholas of Trent [it] (1336–1347) and a lecturer at the University of Perugia.

[1] Augustine wrote his Epistola in Latin in Perugia on the occasion of a "pestilence of infirmities" in northern Italy.

He gives an astrological explanation of the epidemic and seeks to provide principles for predicting future ones.

[2] He cites Hippocrates, Aristotle, Galen, Dioscorides, Martial and Avicenna.
