Abstract
In his medical treatise De vita (1498), Marsilio Ficino describes the force of medical talismans and their efficacy on humans against the background of a cosmological physiology.

Discussion of this question also leads to theoretical considerations about the efficacy of artifacts in the Renaissance.
