# De remediis utriusque fortunae compiled as a dialogue-book of remedies

Date: 1366

## The fact

De remediis utriusque fortunae, a large Latin dialogue in which Reason answers Joy and Sorrow, was compiled in the 1350s–60s and circulated as a remedy-book for both good and bad fortune. It is not a physician’s manual and not a later popular-psychology brand. Invective against a physician is a different, worsening instrument.

## Context

Consolation literature is a health-adjacent genre in a plague century. Shared with the ancient moralists he excerpted. Medium confidence on any unique clinical effect; high on the book’s existence. Households later used it as a desk book; those later uses are reception.

Shared responsibility is part of De remediis utriusque fortunae compiled as a dialogue-book of remedies. Naming Petrarch does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from 1366-01-01 to any measured indicator is not treated as zero. Alternative explanations — weather, other armies, later statutes, or independent cultural change — remain live where the sources do not close them.

## Evidence and sources

Gallica at https://gallica.bnf.fr/ locates later printed De remediis as a public carrier neighbourhood. Britannica at https://www.britannica.com/biography/Petrarch independently lists the moral-philosophical Latin. Treccani names De remediis.

Official or archival record: Gallica — Petrarch printed and manuscript neighbourhood (https://gallica.bnf.fr/; Bibliothèque nationale de France).

## Significance

A remedy-book is a health-consolation path of medium confidence and modest weight. It does not replace 1348 plague mortality with a coefficient.

## What is established and what is not

Established: De remediis as a lifetime Latin compilation. Not established: a unique patient series. Distinct from Invective contra medicum. Reason versus Joy and Sorrow, 1360s compilation, consolation not clinic, not the physician-invective. Official locator https://gallica.bnf.fr/ is not independent locator https://www.britannica.com/biography/Petrarch. Later Italian nationalism and UNESCO files are not this lifetime instrument. Reason versus Joy and Sorrow, 1360s compilation, consolation not clinic, not the physician-invective. Official locator https://gallica.bnf.fr/ is not independent locator https://www.britannica.com/biography/Petrarch. Later Italian nationalism and UNESCO files are not this lifetime instrument. Reason versus Joy and Sorrow, 1360s compilation, consolation not clinic, not the physician-invective. Official locator https://gallica.bnf.fr/ is not independent locator https://www.britannica.com/biography/Petrarch. Later Italian nationalism and UNESCO files are not this lifetime instrument.

Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, museums, and adaptations are not converted into extra lifetime acts.

If a number is not in the two records named above, it is not supplied here.

Confidence is stated on the impact path, not hidden in adjectives. Remedies-book is not the attack on Clement’s doctors. Mixed effects of De remediis utriusque fortunae compiled as a dialogue-book of remedies are separate paths.

The contribution type is direct. The attached driver is health-system-capacity. The welfare reading used in this dossier is improving. That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself.
