Ficino's most popular work, the Libri de vita, appeared in 1489. The physician Ficino explains in this medical-astrological work his views on melancholia, believed to be caused by the planet Saturn, and gives advice on how to evade the influence of this planet.
At first he presents a classic Galenic spiritus theory. The spiritus mundi, an originally Stoic concept, (the pneuma), is a fine, thin substance, connecting the world soul (anima mundi) with the world body (corpus mundi). It is also the medium channeling the influence of the stars.
Man imbibes his own spiritus from that astral flow: the instrument of the unbodily soul for perception, imagination and movement; the connection between body and soul. The condition of the spiritus determines phenomena as furor and melancholia. The spiritus can be kept healthy by means of certain plants, odours, colours and music which are associated with the influence of the more benign planets.
