Beschreibung

4to (202 x 150 mm). [36], 413 [1] pp. Woodcut historiated initials, a few woodcut diagrams in text, errata on final page, lacking - as often - the leaf with the printer's device on verso only. Signatures: [alpha]-[gamma]4, [delta]6, a-z4, A-Z4, aa-ff4. Bound in 18th century half calf, sprinkled boards, gilt-lettered spine label, hand lettering in ink on lower edge (extremities lightly rubbed, covers little soiled). Text little unevenly browned, occasional minor spotting and light foxing, one page with ink annotations in contemporary hand, p. 20 of content list with blackened text by censors, few ink corrections in text. Provenance: L. Bodin, Libraire, Paris (sticker to front pastedown). Very good copy. ---- VD 16 C 928; Adams C, 691; NLM/Durling 832. This rare edition contains 11 mostly medical texts by Cardano, among which: De libris propriis; De curationibus & praedictionibus admirandis; From Gemmis & coloribus, etc. The opera is often found bound together with "Somniorum synesiorum" from the same printer and of the same year, but these are on principle two separate works and complete in itself. - Visit our website to see more images!.
