Dieser Band enthält die "Chirurgia magna" in zwei Tomi in lateinischer Übersetzung von Josquinus Dalhemius tätig 2. H. 16. Jh. humanistischer Übersetzer paracelsischer Schriften. - Gedruckt von dem aus Lucca stammenden seit den 1540er-Jahren in Basel tätigen Humanisten- und Reformationsverleger Petrus Perna ca. 1519-1582. Die Chirurgia magna ist das zentrale chirurgische Werk Paracelsus' und dokumentiert seine praktische Wundarznei ebenso wie seine Reinterpretation traditioneller Krankheitslehren. In ihr treten seine Abkehr von der bloßen Galen Exegese sein empirisches Vorgehen am Krankenbett und sein Einsatz chemischer Präparate deutlich hervor; sie ist für das Verständnis der paracelsischen "Reformation der Medizin" unverzichtbar. Paracelsus betont systematisch die Bedeutung gründlicher Wundreinigung Drainage und Verhinderung von Fäulnis; die "gute Eiterung" der traditionellen Chirurgie wird kritisch relativiert und der Fokus stärker auf rasche "spezifische" Heilung gerichtet. Er beschreibt Trauma Frakturen Ulzera und Tumoren in enger Verbindung mit Umwelt und Stoffeinflüssen; damit wird die spätere Toxikologie vorbereitet Stichwort "Die Dosis macht das Gift" und eine spezifische substanzgebundene Krankheitsauffassung gefördert. Von besonderem Interesse auch für die frühe Geschichte der Neurochirurgie: Paracelsus behandelt in der Chirurgia magna Kopf- und Schädelverletzungen inkl. Indikationen zur Trepanation im Rahmen einer empirisch orientierten Wundchirurgie und verknüpft traumabedingte Lähmungen und Krampfzustände mit lokalen Strukturverletzungen statt ausschließlich mit humoral-systemischen Ursachen. Die Perna-Ausgabe von 1573 ist die erste große lateinische Gesamtausgabe der paracelsischen Chirurgie: Sie überführt die ursprünglich deutschsprachigen Wundarznei-Schriften Große und Kleine Chirurgie in ein gelehrtes europaweit rezipierbares Format und ist damit ein Schlüsselstück der frühen Paracelsus-Rezeption. Chirurgiegeschichtlich markiert der Band den Übergang von handwerklich-zunftgebundener Wundbehandlung zu einer spezifischen substanzgebundenen Therapieauffassung Toxikologie organspezifische Wirkungen Kritik an der "guten Eiterung" und ist für die Geschichte der Chirurgie wie der Pharmakologie gleichermaßen bedeutend. First major Latin edition of Paracelsus' surgical works containing the two tomes of the "Chirurgia magna" in one folio volume. Translated into Latin by Josquinus Dalhemius and printed by the Basel humanist printer Petrus Perna in 1573. Covers wounds fractures ulcers tumours and related conditions combining practical wound surgery with Paracelsus' innovative chymical pathology. Key document in the spread of Paracelsian medicine from German vernacular surgery into the international learned medical world. VD16 P 469 Sudhoff "Bibliographia Paracelsica" Nr. 146-147 unknown

"This is the earliest work of scientific botany a subject not addressed in any of the writings of Aristotle." Theophrastus "system of botanical classification analogous to the zoological system in Aristotle's Historia animalium maintained its authority until the advent of the microscope in the mid 17th century." Garrison & Morton Theophrastus of Eresos c.370-287 bce "one of Aristotle's greatest students built upon Diodes' work and founded the field of biology known as botany. In his works 'On the Natural History of Plants' and 'On the Origins of Plants' Theophrastus identified and classified over 500 species of plants and explained their medicinal properties. He succeeded Aristotle at the Lyceum and taught there for nearly 35 years. He has often been called "the father of botany" and perhaps deserves the title "the father of pharmacognosy" as well. Remarkably Theophrastus pioneered the concept of drug tolerance observing that the power of a drug taken over a long period diminishes in people who become accustomed to taking them."

Beautiful Greek script. 48 ff. <br/><br/><em>Extremely scarce first edition thus containing all of Theophrastus' 23 characters in Greek and Latin being the first edition of Auberius' excellent Latin translation and first edition with Lycio's interesting commentaries. "This very rare edition which presents us with the Greek text of H. Stephan Stephanus contains a new Latin version by Claudius Auberius who was scarcely twenty years of age when he composed it. The notes are critical and historical; sometimes bold but always erudite. This version and these notes were republished in Zuinger's edition of Aristotle's "Ethics" at Basil. fol. 1582." Dibdin II:500. This version of Theophrastus' milestone work the first recorded attempt at systematic character writing became hugely influential and is still referred to in modern editions of the text as Auberius' translation is regarded as one of the best and most important interpretations of the text. Claude Aubery or Claudius Auberius ca. 1540-1596 was a noted philosopher and medical doctor professor of Philosophy in Lausanne. He translated several Greek texts into Latin but is best remembered for his excellent version of Theophrastus' "Characters" which was highly influential throughout the Renaissance and which was incorporated into later Renaissance Aristotle-editions as the standard-version of Theophrastus' text. Theophrastus ca. 371- ca. 287 BC Aristotle's successor at the Lyceum and probably the most famous Aristotelian of all times successfully presided over the Peripatetic School for 36 years and here wrote a number of works. The most famous of them is arguably his great moral opus "The Characters" which continues to amaze readers to this day. It introduced the "character sketch" which became the core of the Character as a genre and as such it influenced the entire literay tradition of the Western world. The fabulous very witty astute harsh and insightful characteristics of type characters of the human race have been formative for our understanding of moral virtues and vices and how they come to be expressed in man for our understanding of human nature in general. It is no wonder that the work became so popular and widely read during the Renaissance the era of man as the centre of the universe.

The title-page states "seconde edition" but it is probably the third printed in the same year as the first and second being a page-by-page re-impression of the second except for the fact that corrections have been made and the errata-leaf is thus not printed in the third. Both the second and third original editions are from the same year and by the same printer as the first. "La seconde édition également impr. en 1688 n'offre que quelques légers changements. et la troisième sous la même date ne qu'une simple réimpression de la seconde." Brunet III:720. This work includes the first French translation of Theophrast's Characters and probably the first translation into any modern language.

"C'est au commencement de 1688 que parut la premiere édition des "Caractères de Théophraste traduits du grec ou les Mæurs de ce siècle." L'auteur mettait ses propres observations sur la société moderne sous le patronage d'un ancien." N.B.G. p. 427. The "Characters" gave La Bruyère quite a few enemies and created furor in the learned world. In Denmark Holberg calls him "trivial and simple" Epistle 404. "Mais si en effet la malignité contemporaine applaudissant aux traits satiriques de l'ouvrage a peu contribuer à sa vogue le jugement de la postérité l'a consacré comme un des meilleurs livres de notre langue." N.B.G. p. 427. This work is thus still considered to be one of the greatest French books. Voltaire writes in "Siecle de Louis XIV c. XXXII": "On peut compter parmi les productions d'un genre unique les "Caractères" de La Bruyère. Un style rigide concis nerveaux des expressions pittoresques un usage tout nouveau de la langue mais qui n'en bless pas les règles frappèrent le public". Bruyère's work with the translation really did cause astonishment and had an immense impact on late 17th century Europe and onwards; it created a new literary genre in Europe and the age of Enlightenment was delighted with the short precise characterizations of people and their customs.

One of the earliest known works of psychology "Characters" contains pithy descriptions of the various types of human foibles noted by the Oxford Companion for their "remarkable vivacity and keenness of observation." A pupil of Aristotle and the master's successor as head of the school of Peripatetic philosophy Theophrastus ca. 371 - ca. 287 B.C. wrote widely on a number of subjects ranging from ethics to physics to botany he is considered the "father" of the last discipline. He would have considered these descriptions of such characters as "The Flattering Man" "The Stupid Man" and "The Oligarch" a minor work but it is one that has weathered the centuries. The present translation and commentary marked a milestone in the life of the great classical scholar Isaac Casaubon 1559-1614. Sandys says "It is not until we reach his commentary on the 'Characters' of Theophrastus 1592 that we find a work that is marked by his distinctive merit an interpretation of a text of the most varied interest founded on wide reading and consummate learning. It was a work that won the highest praise from Scaliger." Dibdin called the commentary "a rich mine of Grecian literature." Former owner Richard François Philippe Brunck 1729-1803 was a classical scholar of considerable note who devoted his leisure to the critical revision of the Greek poets. According to Britannica "He spent considerable sums of money in publishing editions of the Greek classics." Flaunting the established mode of editing and criticism he did not hesitate to make clarifying changes to difficult or inscrutable passages of text--whether these alterations were supported by manuscript authorities or not. Deprived of his royal pension by the French Revolution Brunck was forced to sell portions of his library in 1790 and again in 1801. Excudebat Guichard Julliéron apud Antoine de Harsy unknown

Testatine, iniziali e finalini xilografici. Bell’edizioni stampate da Rouillé di queste due celebri opere del grande scrittore, medico e filosofo originario di Riva del Garda, Giulio Cesare Scaligero, latinizzato in Julius Caesar Scaliger (1484-1558). Di origine italiana, trascorse in Francia parte della sua vita, e la parte più fruttuosa della sua carriera. A dispetto del suo atteggiamento arrogante e incline alla polemica, era alta la sua reputazione tra i contemporanei, che lo giudicavano così distinto nel suo sapere e talento, che, secondo Jacques Auguste de Thou, nessuno degli antichi poteva essere collocato sopra di lui, e che l’età in cui visse non presentò nessun sapiente paragonabile a lui. Nelle proprie note biografiche, Scaligero si spaccia per un discendente del casato dei Della Scala (che furono, per 150 anni, i signori di Verona) e si dice nato nell’anno 1484 a Rocca di Riva, sulle rive del Lago di Garda. Era forse figlio di Niccolò della Scala, a sua volta figlio di Guglielmo.Quando era dodicenne, il suo protettore, l’imperatore Massimiliano I d’Asburgo, lo nominò tra i suoi paggi. Rimase per diciassette anni al servizio dell’imperatore, distinguendosi prima come soldato e poi come capitano. Ma non dimenticava di coltivare né le lettere, nelle quali aveva avuto come precettori alcuni tra i più eminenti studiosi del tempo, né le arti, che aveva studiato con considerevole successo sotto la direzione di Albrecht Dürer. Nel 1512 prese parte alla battaglia di Ravenna. Ma poco in verità è provato della vita dello Scaligero fino al 1525 quando divenne medico personale del vescovo di Agen, in Francia. Definiva i suoi studi classici come un gradevole rilassamento da compiti più severi. Qualsiasi siano state le sue vere faccende nei suoi primi 40 anni di vita, sicuramente queste lo resero un osservatore accurato e ravvicinato, e lo avevano reso edotto di molti fenomeni curiosi e poco noti, che aveva pienamente registrato in una tra le più tenaci memorie della storia. E’ celebre anche per aver in un certo modo anticipato il metodo induttivo. I due trattati qui presentati sono considerati fra i suoi più originali. In essi metteva a frutto le proprie dirette esperienze nel campo della botanica ed erboristeria, esperienze sia maturate nella sperimentazione diretta sia nella ricerca erudita di descrizioni di piante in fonti letterarie e artistiche, tanto classiche che moderne in parte mutate da Teofrasto ed Aristotele. Importante opera di botanica, farmacia ed erboristeria. Due rare edizioni. Good copies, rare. Bibliografia: I opera Pretzel 8090, II opera 8088.
