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. Remains 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 offers a scholarly endorsement of the present work as an indispensable medical resource; Noting the rarity and numerous textual errors of a prior Frankfurt edition, he relates 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. …

Hard Cover. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. First Combined Edition. Contemporary vellum (soiled), hand-lettered spine. Title page lightly stained; tiny wormhold through textblock, occasionally touching a letter; light stain in some inner corners and lower margins.

4to. (16), 344 pp. Engraved architectural title with portraits of Theophrastus and Dioscorides, 145 finely etched and engraved botanical plates in the text, ornamental initials. Contemporary blind-tooled calf with gilt spine. Edges sprinkled red. Third edition (in fact, a re-issue with changed title page date only) of Alpini's further observations on exotic plants. The specimens here presented were collected primarily in Crete and the Eastern Mediterranean, including many xerophilous plants from Egypt and scores of plants not mentioned in earlier works. The first edition was published posthumously in 1627 and was edited by the author's son, Alpini Alpini. The work (in all its editions) is much rarer than the author's better-known "De plantis Aegyptii". "Date altered by hand [from 1629] to MDCLVI" (Krivatsy). - Prospero Alpini (1553-1617), an Italian physician and botanist, travelled through Greece, Crete, and Egypt from 1580 to 1583 with the Venetian Consul Giorgio Eno. He worked as a medical advisor and took the opportunity to carry out botanical investigations. His work includes the first European recognition of the medicinal value of coffee and introduced banana and baobab. "Alpini became professor of botany at Padua after having spent three years in Egypt" (Garrison/M., p. 992). - Binding rebacked, showing some light wear to extremities, but a good, clean copy. - Removed from the Large Library at Goodwood House (Chichester, West Sussex) with bookplate on front pastedown; latterly in the collection of Cornelius J. Hauck (his tree bookplate dated 15 March 1944). - Nissen BBI 21. Krivatsy 241 (copy 2). Cf. Pritzel 112. Not in Wellcome, Waller, or Osler.…
