Full-Leather. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. Second Edition. Second edition. Minor loss from corners, small paper remnant on spine head. 1719 Full-Leather. [xxiv], 765, [37] pp. Full calf, red morocco spine label, gilt titles, gilt tooled compartments, marbled endpapers. Latin text. A medical work by the Venetian physician and botanist whose descriptions of coffee and banana plants are the earliest written records in European literature. Prospero Alpinus oversaw the botanical garden at Padua, and wrote the first significant history of Egyptian medicine (see Garrison-Morton 6468). This work advocates the Methodic School of medicine of ancient Greece and Rome, which focused on treatment based on generalities of disease rather than history of individual patients.…

Leather Bound. First Leiden Edition. pp. 8 preliminary leaves, 541, [23]. Small quarto (16 x 20 cm). Bound in contemporary leather over boards, newer spine with title stamped in gilt; five raised bands, six compartments. Newer endpapers, title leaf printed in red-and-black with floral vignette. Accompanied by additional in-text vignettes, and elaborate initial letters throughout. Light scuffing to leather extremities, typical edgewear, ex-libris bookplate of the Memorial Library of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons neatly affixed to the front pastedown, some marginal darkening to the preliminary leaves, circular institutional stamp to the half-title. Otherwise a lovely, well-margined and overwhelmingly bright and unmarked offering of a foundational work of medical diagnosis and prognosis. Complete with a preface by renowned Dutch physician Herman Boerhaave (sometimes referred to as the "Dutch Hippocrates"), dated September 22, 1709, in Leiden, wherein he relates his high regard for the present work as an indispensable and comprehensive medical resource. Noting the extreme rarity and numerous textual errors of a prior Frankfurt edition, he explains that he commissioned one Rudolphus Dyker of Emden to meticulously correct and edit the text for this much-improved edition. Divided into seven distinct sections, or books ("Libri"), with each focusing upon different elements of medical diagnosis and prognostics: "Liber Primus" (Book 1): Focuses on the foundational principles of medical prognosis, specifically how physicians can predict recovery or death by evaluating the overall robustness or weakness of a patient's natural and vital faculties, as well as the magnitude and nature of the disease itself; "Liber Secundus" (Book 2): Examines prognostic signs derived from the patient's neurological and sensory states. It covers mental conditions such as delirium, memory loss, and foolishness, as well as disturbances in external senses such as vision and hearing, before moving into physical sensations such as body temperature variations, pain, fatigue, and sleep patterns; "Liber Tertius" (Book 3): Concerns signs related to the patient's motor faculties and physical movements including analyzing the patient's posture in bed, restlessness, involuntary movements such as tremors, palpitations, and convulsions, as well as hiccups, shivering, and the loss of voice; "Liber Quartus" (Book 4): Dedicated primarily to the observation of vital functions, beginning with a detailed classification of the pulse - its causes, variations, and what it indicates for survival or death. It subsequently covers different types of respiration (breathing patterns) and evaluates the prognostic value of the patient's appetite and thirst; "Liber Quintus" (Book 5): Details the prognostic signs observable in specific anatomical parts and the patient's physical appearance. It instructs the physician to examine skin color, facial features (eyes, nose, lips, teeth, tongue), the abdominal region (hypochondria), and the extremities to forecast the disease's progression; "Liber Sextus" (Book 6): Introduces the concept of medical "crises" and "critical days" (the specific days when a disease is expected to reach a turning point). It outlines how to recognize whether a disease will terminate via a "crisis" and identifies the signs which may predict upcoming salutary (healing) or fatal crises, often indicated by bodily excretions; "Liber Septimus" (Book 7): Serves as a comprehensive guide to interpreting specific bodily fluids and excretions to determine the final outcome of a given ailment. It breaks down the prognostic significance of blood, sweat, vomit, bowel movements, urine, sputum, and suppuration from abscesses, detailing which types indicate recovery and which portend death. A remarkable work indeed. Reference: Garrison & Morton 2194 (p.347). Provenance: Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, Memorial Library. Originally published in 1601, our offering is the first Leiden edition, immediately preceded by the Frankfurt edition of 1621. It would be translated and published in English in 1746. …

Sono qui rappresentate per la prima volta in un trattato di botanica europeo la pianta del caffè (?), del baobab (pianta e frutto) e della banana, i cui frutti vengono descritti come assai nutrienti, profumati ma un po' pesanti per lo stomaco. Delle foglie e dei frutti si descrive la morfologia, l'utilizzo in cucina nel caso delle piante edibili, le proprietà benefiche e loro utilizzi nella preparazione di decotti.

At the end we can read "De medicina indorum" by Jacobus Bontius (1592-1631), first published in 1642.

Antica firma di appartenenza del noto medico romano Gennaro Giannelli al frontespizio. Frontespizio in rosso e nero. Bell'incisione al frontespizio delineata da Goereé e inciso da Sluyter. Numerose iniziali xilografiche. Tagli gialli. Seconda edizione dopo la prima del 1601 di questa opera classica del grande medico, botanico e scienziato Prospero Alpino (1553 - 1617) originario di Marostica in provincia di Vicenza. Le opere e l'attività dell'Alpino riguardarono sia la botanica che la medicina e lo resero celebre in tutta Europa tanto che Albrecht von Haller lo definì medicus et botanicus celeberrimus. L'opera qui presentata è la più celebre fra le opere mediche di Alpini ed è dedicata alla prognosi medica. Pubblicato per la prima volta a Francoforte nel 1601. L'opera, curiosamente rimase poi non più edita in forma singola fino a questa edizione del 1710. La riedizione ebbe un enorme successo tanto che poi numerose furono le ristampe settecentesche. Alpino classifica qui i fenomeni "morbosi" in genere e discute le varie modalità di prognosi. Il libro è citato da Weinberger per i suoi riferimenti all'odontoiatria. Alpini è considerato come uno dei principali ornamenti della scuola padovana. Uomo di grande cultura cercò una sintesi fra l'opera di Galeno e quella d'Ippocrate, anche se il "praesagienda" è considerato un'opera di medicina classica che prende ispirazione dalla medicina di Ippocrate. Alpino fu tra i primi a porre l'accento sugli aspetti sociali e mentali dei pazienti analizzando la diversa presenza delle malattie nei diversi strati sociali e studiando patologie non direttamente riconducibili ad aspetti fisici come l'ipocondria e altri disturbi psichici. Questa edizione è poco comune, 4 soli esemplari censiti in ICCU. Prime quattro carte uniformemente brunite ma nel complesso esemplare in ottime condizioni di conservazione.…

Venetiis : Apud haeredes Melchioris Sessae, 1601, 4°, (8), 163, (1), (17) leafs, contemporary vellum, inked titles on spine; small chip to fore-edge of upper cover, fine copy. Rare First Edition! With "H.F. Norman M.D." bookplate on front paste-down. A classical work on prognosis. Prosper Alpini (1553-1617) was well acquainted with the works of both Hippocrates and Galen and could have easily written full length studies of each physician. However, he chose instead to write this classic treatise on prognosis based on Hippocrates' writings. A comprehensive study of prognostics, Alpini placed special emphasis on the patient's mental well being and its relationship to health and included the usual physical and diagnostic signs.
