Specialist Notes
De arte gymnastica, written in 1569 by the Forlì physician Girolamo Mercuriale, was the text that marked the birth of sports medicine, reevaluating the role of this discipline in the medical and therapeutic fields. The work appeared in its first edition in Venice in 1569, with a dedication to Cardinal Alessandro Farnese. A subsequent reprint was published between 1569 and 1573, expanded and revised, with a dedication to Emperor Maximilian II. These were followed by a Paris edition (1577) and two Venice editions (1587 and 1601), published during the author's lifetime. Only after Mercuriale's death did two reprints come to light, dated 1644 and 1672 respectively, the latter of which was interpolated.
