Dialogo delle cose meteorologiche

Dialogo delle cose meteorologiche

The dialogue stages three interlocutors - Battista Peroli, Stefano Viari, Camillo Abbioso - discussing meteorological issues mainly based on Aristotle (as stated in the title). Though, the Greek philosopher is not the only source of Zuccolo. The author makes in fact the characters quote and comment on several passages from other sources, especially Latin poets such as Lucretius, Ovid, Virgil and Claudianus among the others, whose verses are quoted in the original. A traditional wind rose is presented at p. 37 and it is said to be based on Aristotle; a modern wind rose follows at p. 38.
