This paper presents the discovery of an extensive, unacknowledged appropriation by the Franciscan friar Pietro Galatino (c. 1460-c. 1540) of Arnau de Vilanova's "Philosophia catholica et divina" in his treatise "De cognoscendis pestilentibus hominibus". Far from reproducing isolated fragments, Galatino reworks the entire structure and discourse of Arnau's text, integrating large sections almost verbatim, with only minor interpolations or modifications. The textual comparison provided here demonstrates the systematic nature of this appropriation, which constitutes a genuine case of intellectual plagiarism. This finding significantly alters the reception history of Galatino's work and sheds new light on the posthumous legacy of Arnau de Vilanova in early modern Christian thought.
