Dramatically titled 'The Christian godfather, for training the knights of Christ in the duel of death', the work is dedicated to Lucrezia d'Este (15351598), duchess of Urbino, one of the most learned women of her age and a patron to scientists and poets. Mancini divides his treatise into three parts. In the first he discusses man's vain hopes of happiness; the evil effects of wealth; beauty and vanity; the fragility of health; and the imperfections of human knowledge. In the second he turns to death, explaining why it appears horrible but why one should not fear it, and how old age is not necessarily a good thing. The final part looks at preparing for death, and how the sinful soul can move from fear and hope towards God, ending with discussion of the conversion of StPaul. Mancini calls upon a host of authorities, including Aristotle, StAugustine, Bede, StBridget, Euclid, Hippocrates, Plato, and Thomas Aquinas. No copies traced in the UK; only one copy in the US recorded on OCLC (University of Chicago). EDIT16 30381; USTC 839943. Language: Italian.

XVI, Zanichelli, 1888; p. 187: "Il M. parla spesso di Ravenna e racconta, specie nell'opuscolo sul riso, aneddoti occorsi in città, e ricorda illustri concittadini e discorre delle pitture di Luca Longhi e della sorella sua e tratteggia, con una descrizione cruda, lo stato e le condizioni, al suo tempo, della Romagna (p. 206-212) illustri filosofi, egli scrive, dissero i sogni provenienti da Dio e li considerarono quale mezzo di divinazione del futuro Ricorda tutti i sogni famosi che la storia e la tradizione hanno conservato come prova della facoltà di devinare e ve ne aggiunge altri, recenti, raccontati dal Fracastoro e da Pietro Bembo Espone, criticandole, le opinioni dei Platonici e dei Peripatetici, illustrando quella di Porfirio sulla loro origine diabolica Ciò premesso, dimostra con sode ragioni come siano i sogni un fenomeno non di origine divina, ma dipendente dalla umana natura Questa tendenza a tenere la ricerca filosofica entro i confini del conoscibile, così rara ai suoi tempi, continua negli altri scritti DEL RISO E DELLE COSE RIDICOLE E DEI FENOMENI DELLA VISIONE" Thorndike, A History of Magic and Experimental Science; VI; p. 484.
