Tamburino was a Sicilian Jesuit. His Italian translation of Boethius’s Philosophiae consolatio (1657) is a remarkable work because (1) it was published in Palermo by the eminent printer Giuseppe Bisagni; (2) its frontispiece reproduces a portal of a Baroque church, in order to illustrate the relationship between Philosophy and Theology, according to Aquinas’s doctrines; (3) it was put into print at the same time when Tamburino was publishing his controversial theological treatises in France, provoking reactions by Pascal, Nicole, Parisian clergy, the Universities of Paris and Louvain, and finally the Dominicans of Toulouse; (4) gave to Tamburino the opportunity to criticize Thomistic synderesis and expound elements from his casuistic probabilism, especially the so-called spontaneous actions; (5) in Tamburino’s opinion, Boethian foreknowledge reveals the relationship between scientia media and confessor’s discernment of the penitent, with the aim of determining whether an act is a sin or not.
Keywords: Consolatio, Sicilian printers, engravings, synderesis, casuistic probabilism, France.
