The book delves into Canevari's background as a member of the Genoese patrician class, and his education at the University of Pisa, where he studied medicine and philosophy. Sarton examines Canevari's contributions to the fields of medicine and philosophy, including his views on the nature of the soul, the role of the physician in society, and his theories on the causes of disease.
