# The 1471 Opera prints Remedia amoris as a public counter-manual

Date: 1471

## The fact

The Bologna Opera includes Remedia amoris, a printed counter-didaxis against lovesickness. The dated carrier is 1471. It is not a clinic and not a verified medical protocol.

## Context

A poem about curing desire is a low-confidence health-adjacent teaching path: it names lovesickness as something that can be unlearned. It does not staff a hospital.

[Ovid](/people/ovid) is not the sole author of every later object, law, or museum label that uses the name. Shared work with courts, excavators, printers, spouses, officials, and later states does not erase a documented role, and it does not make an ancient person the signer of a twentieth-century statute.

## Evidence and sources

Official library/museum/agency pages and an independent publisher independently describe this instrument.

## Significance

A remedia book is not a pharmacopoeia. Keep the lag.

## What is established and what is not

Established as a dated public record of this instrument.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.
Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, and museums are not converted into extra lifetime acts. The attached driver is infectious-disease-transmission. The welfare reading used in this dossier is improving. That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself. Confidence is stated on the impact path. A later English edition is not a recovered autograph. If a number is not in the two records named above, it is not supplied here.
