One is surprised at the range of studies in certain directions, and still more at the absence of other subjects.

A list is given of the teachers in medicine for the year 1433, twenty in all, and there were special lectures for the morning, afternoon and evening.

The subjects are medicine, practical medicine, physics, metaphysics, logic, astrology, surgery and rhetoric: very striking is the omission of anatomy, which does not appear in the list even in 1467.

The salaries paid were not large, so that most of the teachers must have been in practice: four hundred and five hundred florins was the maximum.
The dominance of the Arabians is striking.

In 1467, special lectures were given on the "Almansor" of Rhazes, and in the catalogue of the Ferrari's library more than one half of the books are Arabian commentaries on Greek medicine.
