Brunet II:1497. Hayn-Gotendorf II:504. Durling 2007. Wellcome 2690. Third edition. According to Worldcat only registred in 2 libraries worldwide. Text in Italian. In this work ‘The Hospital of Incurable Madness’, Garzoni writes about mental illness and those institutionalized with such diagnoses as they existed in the late 16th century. His aim was to bring awareness to mental health, and in the process of his report, he reveals contemporary attitudes regarding ‘incurable madness’. The mental illnesses of women, including hysteria, do not go unnoticed. Garzoni notes a resemblance between women's hysteria and hypochondriasis. Third edition of the "Hospital of incurable fools". The thirty discourses describe the various manifestations of insanity from comical delusion to satanic obsession. There are three poems about the insane at the end of this edition.
