1756I17F1HIG4EOQGhent 1756. 4to. Joannis Meyer Contemporary calf richly gold-tooled spine with a tulip in 5 of the 7 compartments red edges. 2 works in 1 volume. 1 1 blank 14 274 30; 54 2 pp. Ad 1: Unrecorded first issue of the rare third edition of the Ghent pharmacopoeia the first to call itself a "pharmacopoea" instead of "antidotarium" in the title.This copy differs slightly from all others recorded in that it contains a somewhat different preface and approval which is signed only by A.C.J. van Rossum and dated 1755. It therefore lacks the more expanded approval from 1756 of the professors of the University of Louvain including that of Van Rossum as well as the subsequent dedication to Empress Maria Theresa. The present variant is therefore almost certainly an earlier issue.Ad 2: New edition of the taxa regulating the prices of pharmacists in Ghent. The previous version dates from 1690 and this new edition was published to reflect the changes made in the pharmacopoeia of 1756.With the binding worn at the spine and somewhat along the extremities. Slightly thumbed with a small tear in the fore-edge margin of pp. 239-248 and a water stain in the fore-edge margin of the final part of ad 1 starting at p. 265; a good copy.l Ad 1: Anet 2 copies; Daems & Vandewiele p. 106 3 copies; STCV 2 copies; WorldCat 1 copy; not in Blake; Wellcome; ad 2: Anet 1 copy; Daems & Vandewiele pp. 106-107; not in STCV; WorldCat. unknown

1732I14C5IX5BOPXDouai: Jacques-François Willerval 1732. Contemporary tanned sheepskin richly gold-tooled spine brown title-label. Small folio 25.5 x 17 cm. With a woodcut of the then current Douai coat-of-arms a shield with an arrow and eight drops of blood on the title-page. Very rare first and only edition of the pharmacopoeia of the city of Douai in French Flanders. Although the city housed the second oldest university in the Low Countries it had never before compiled its own pharmacopoeia whereas nearby Lille had been the first city in the Southern Low Countries to do so. Compared with other pharmacopoeias the Douai pharmacopoeia was rather conservative and even old fashioned both in its recipes as in its use of measurements and despite being titled as "galeno-chymica" the number of chemical formulas is quite low cf. Vandewiele. With a library stamp and a contemporary owner's inscription on the tile-page. Rebound and with some restorations at the spine and corners; edges and spine worn with two cracks in the latter. Browned throughout especially the last 10 pages due to a damp stain that gradually grows larger through the final 30 pages.l Anet 1 manuscript copy; Daems & Vandewiele p. 93 3 copies; Vandewiele "La Pharmacopée de Douai en manuscrit de Michel Brisseau" in: Revue d'histoire de la pharmacie LXI 216 1973 pp. 340-344; WorldCat 2 copies; not in: Blake; Wellcome.

1800I14DVA32F2X0Leiden: Abraham and Jan Honkoop 1800. Contemporary mottled boards. 12mo. Rare second edition of "the first general as distinguished from hospital 'pharmacopoeia' compiled by an American" Cowen first published at Paris in 1798. The first part of the book is a classification of diseases and is taken word for word from the influential 1769 nosology by the Scottish physician William Cullen. The second part is a pharmacopoeia divided into materia medica and composite medicines. The introduction notes that it is based on the author's notes made at the University of Edinburgh the London pharmacopoeia and Joseph Townsend's The physicians' vade mecum 1794 p. x. Between the two parts can be found a list translating the Latin names of the chemical preparations "which not all readers will view as sufficiently legitimate" p. 77 into the modern English and French nomenclature.William Tazewell d. 1832 was an American physician who had studied in Edinburgh and in 1797-1800 was secretary to Elbridge Gerry in Paris. After returning to the United States Tazewell set up a medical practice in Williamsburg and later moved to Virginia. In 1803 he presented copies of his Vade-mecum to George Washington and Thomas Jefferson the latter writing that "it has really brought the whole science of diseases & remedies within the shortest compass possible and not meddling with the details of the science himself it presents exactly such a general view of every part of it as Jefferson often wishes to take" Cowen.With a small price in pen on the first flyleaf. Only some thumbing on the last 30 pages otherwise in very good condition and wholly untrimmed. Boards slightly worn and spine cracked but still structurally sound.l Cowen America's pre-pharmacopoeial literature pp. 21-22; STCN 1 copy; Founders online letters to Tazewell from Washington and Jefferson; Wellcome V p. 241; WorldCat 2 copies.

1661JC5F71XARFAUAntwerp 1661. 4to. Joris Willemsens I 18th-century vellum faded manuscript title on spine. With an integral engraved architectural title page by Petrus van Caukercken after Abraham van Diepenbeeck with the title on a drapery held by 2 putti in an arch and flanked by figures of Claudius Galenus and Masawaih al-Mardini views of a botanical garden and an apothecary's shop below and Jesus with numerous religious and allegorical figures above in a cloud letterpress title page with a woodcut decoration a divisional title for part 2 woodcut tailpieces woodcut decorated initials 5 series. Set in roman and italic with incidental Greek textura and pharmacological signs. 1 1 blank 46 285 = 281 32 1 blank pp. Rare first and only edition in Latin of the first and only official pharmacopoeia for Antwerp containing hundreds of medicinal recipes and throwing a great deal of light on 17th-century medical practice in the Low Countries. The work's separate part with the title "Selectiora chymica" shows the rising importance of chemistry in the production of medicines. Although Plantin published an important and influential 1568 Antwerp edition of Valerius Cordus's Dispensatorium first published posthumously at Nürnberg in 1546 it was not produced by order of any official municipal body. In 1624 the magistrates of Antwerp set up a Collegium Medicum which did declare that medicines were to be prepared following Cordus until further notice. In 1659 the Antwerp Collegium Medicum decided to produce their own pharmacopoeia primarily at the impetus of their secretary and future director Michiel Boudewijns 1591-1681 best known as the father of modern medical ethics. Although his name does not appear on the title-page the book does attribute the 18-page preface to him and he was probably the principal compiler of the book. The decision to compile it makes explicit reference to those published at Augsburg 1564 Rome 1583 Amsterdam 1636 and Brussels 1641 but Valerius may have remained the most important source. No apothecaries were officially consulted in the compilation of the pharmacopoeia reflecting the growing status of physicians and declining status of apothecaries.Although the letterpress title-page is dated 1660 the engraved title-page when present is apparently always dated 1661 and in some copies the 1660 has been corrected to 1661. The work has extensive preliminaries with dedications notes to the reader laudatory verses etc. but some copies include an unsigned bifolium inserted after a2 containing an additional dedication not present here. The present copy does have the rarer addendum leaf at the end and an addendum slip on Q3r supplying the omitted last line of that page with the quire signature and catchword below it. The addendum leaf has three blind impressions of the type for this addendum slip in its head margin.With minimal wear at the edges. With a brown spot in the outer margin of the first two gatherings; a very good copy.l Anet 6 copies; Daems & Vandewiele pp. 62-63 5 copies; STCV 12879911 5 copies incl. 1 defective; not in Krivatsy; Wellcome. hardcover
