Item description from seller

xxvi, 142 p. Das Exemplar ist in einem sehr guten und sauberen Zustand ohne Anstreichungen. / The copy is in a very good and clean condition without markings. -- Contents -- Preface -- Introduction -- FUNDAMENTA MEDICINAE -- To the Reader -- Physiology -- Medical Pathology -- Semiotics -- Medical Hygiene -- Therapeutics -- (Excerpt:) Preface: THE text here translated was first published in 1695 (see frontispiece) and was reprinted in Hoffmann's Opera Omnia. This latter, consisting of six volumes and two supplements comprising altogether eleven folio volumes, was published by De Tournes in Geneva, from 1741 to 1750. Fundamenta Medicinae is reprinted in Supplementum Operum Omnium, two volumes (1744), II, pages 633-676. Both the 1695 and the 1744 editions contain numerous misprints, the original edition somewhat more than the reprint. In comparing the two editions, there was usually no great difficulty in arriving at the correct reading. In the translation I have aimed at a faithful rendition of the Latin and, at the same time a completely idiomatic English. Occasionally, in the translation there are Latin words given within square brackets; I have used this device to indicate particularly important terms whose English translation may be subject to ambiguity or question. English words within square brackets are inserted for clarification or for more idio- matic English and have no direct equivalent in the Latin. I have called on many friends for help in knotty points of translation. For many helpful suggestions I want to thank Dr Walter Pagel and Dr Saul Jarcho, my colleague Dr David Pingree, and Mr William Beatty. However, I assume complete responsibility for any renditions that may be erroneous or infelicitous. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 250.…
