Quarter black-stamped vellum over gilt-stamped brown Fabriano Roma paper-backed boards, white paper-backed board slipcase; slipcase extremities rubbed. Small ink holograph "168" at f. [2]. Very good. LIMITED EDITION of 2,500 (total 2,8…00) copies. Rueff was a follower of Martin Luther and, although he was "primarily known as a physician, surgeon, and lithotomist, he was also a poet and writer of folk songs. ⦠Much of Rueff's advice stems from that of classical writers or is taken from Rosslin's Rosegarten. A great deal is also very primitive to modern eyes. But it made a start at a time when midwifery had previously been strictly a woman's affair" (Dunn, p. 222). ? Dunn, P.M, "Jacob Rueff (1500â"1558) of Zurich and The expert midwife," Arch Dis Child Fetal Neonatal, No. 85, 2001, 222-224 pp.

"Born in the Rheintal in 1500, he is noted as living in Zurich in 1525, where he acquired a reputation as a "Steinschnyder." He was a physician, surgeon, author and preacher all combined, and was well thought of by his contemporaries. Conrad Gesner refers to him as "Vir in arte sua peritissimus," most skilled in his art. Apart from his medical writings, he wrote verse and several plays, including a couple of comedies and a play based on the story of Wilhelm Tell. After the manner of his day, he dabbled in astronomy and astrology. In 1532, he was made Stadtarzt in Zurich. He died in 1558." (from JAMA).
