La Gloria del Cavallo
La Gloria del Cavallo is a treatise of about a thousand pages,:56 dedicated almost entirely to horses and horsemanship. Caracciolo discusses the correct methods of training horses, but also investigates the complex relationships between horses and people. He attributes to horses feelings comparable to those of humans. His discussion of the character of horses uses examples from the theory of humours as expounded by the second-century Greek physician Galen of Pergamon in relation to human medicine.:56
The work also contains a chapter on the diseases of cattle.:178
