Hugo Senensis [Ugo Benzi], commentator. Super I et II fen primi canonis Avicenna unacum Antonii Faventini quaestione de febre. Venice, Bonetus Locatellus for Octaviano Scoto, 27 April, 1498.

This is the first edition of Hugo da Siena's commentary on Book I, fens 1 and 2, to mention both fens in the title; previous editions had mentioned only fen one though including both, which has led some bibliographers to call this the first edition of the commentary of fen 2. Ugo Benzi, as he is most commonly called, was born in Siena about 1370. He taught medicine in Pavia in 1399, thereafter in Bologna, Padua and Florence, and Padua again in 1430. "In accordance with the Arabist tradition Ugo set the seal of proficiency on his academic career by composing Commentaries on most of the fundamental medical texts studied in the universities. [As well as Hippocrates and Galen] Ugo treated the most important sections of Avicenna's encyclopaedic masterpiece, namely I, 1-2, dealing with the fundamental concepts of medicine and general symptoms of disease" (D.P. Lockwood, Ugo Benzi, medieval philosopher and physician, 1951, p. 35). H *9017; Goff H545; Lockwood 12; Klebs 998.2. Imprint supplied by colophon, l. 124. Printer's device, last leaf, recto.
