Contact seller5-star sellerFirst edition. A scarce 17th-century edition of the collected medical works of Duncan Liddell (1561â"1613), a Scottish physician, mathematician, and early professor at the University of Helmstedt. This compendium gathers Liddellâs principal treatises on Galenic medicine, pathology, physiology, and therapeutics, and represents on…e of the most substantial works of Scottish medical humanism of the early modern period. The text, prepared and edited by Ludovicus Serranus (Louis Seran), provides a systematic exploration of the humoral theory of disease, the nature of fevers, methods of purgation, and the philosophical underpinnings of classical medicine as transmitted through the Renaissance. Liddellâs work was part of the larger movement to reconcile the Galenic corpus with the new anatomical and chemical discoveries of the 16th and early 17th centuries. His treatises discuss the causes of fevers, the balance of the four humors, and therapeutic practice â" bridging the gap between scholastic tradition and empirical observation. The volume is typographically elegant, with decorative initials, headpieces, and a detailed index and table of contents. Its Latin prose reflects the learned medical discourse of its age, aimed at physicians, apothecaries, and university scholars. A fascinating artifact of Scottish intellectual history, it also testifies to Lyonâs importance as a center of medical printing in early 17th-century Europe. Condition:ÂEndpapers original, with early ownership inscriptions (âAubugeon, Doctor Medicinæâ) in ink on the front flyleaf â" likely an early French physician owner. Interior complete and textually sound, with some light dampstaining, occasional marginal worming, and minor foxing, but pages remain supple and legible throughout. Contemporary full limp vellum, blind-ruled, with raised bands on the spine. The binding is worn and mottled, showing areas of discoloration, darkening, and surface abrasion consistent with age. Vellum split at head and tail, with structural integrity still sound, though boards somewhat warped as typical of period vellum bindings.
