15943076<p>Wittenberg: Georg Muller 1594. Rare first edition of one of the earliest works on the subject of scurvy by the well-known anatomist undertaken to survey the incidence of the disease in the ducal territories around Wittenberg and consequently qualifying as an example of public health medicine. According to O’Malley Alberti was able to positively demonstrate the disease’s prevalence in the territory surveyed and astutely recommend citrus fruit as part of a preventative diet a benevolent property later recognized by James Lind in his Treatise on the Scurvy Edinburg 1753. “The book was known by James Lind and referred to by him in his celebrated treatise” O’Malley p. 98. Salomon Alberti 1540-1600 is best known for producing the first illustrations of the venous valves and for producing the first extensive printed account devoted solely to their function in his Tres Orationes Nuremberg 1585. The correct understanding of the venous valves was essential to Harvey’s concept of a systemic circulation of the blood. The work went through at least two 17th-century editions 1624; 1674 though the editio princeps appears to be the only one containing Alberti’s public disputation of 1591 with Ernestus Hettenbach which constitutes the first public announcement of his results.

Provenance: 18th-century price note; Dr. Alamartine surgeon of the Lyon hospitals 20th-century blindstamp on flyleaf.<br /> <br /> First Italian edition of the de Tournes / Salomon picture Bible Old Testament only. The poet Damiano Maraffi provided the verse paraphrases which accompany each woodcut; he did the same for the New Testament published by de Tournes in 1554 with fewer woodcuts 95. Maraffi dedicated this edition to Marguerite de France Duchesse de Berry youngest daughter of Francis I. The wood engraver Bernard Salomon nearly all of whose oeuvre was published by de Tournes was one of the few Renaissance illustrators to achieve fame during his lifetime. His Old Testament woodcuts first appeared in 1553 with Claude Paradin’s French verse text Quadrins historiques de la Bible and Quadrins historiques d’Exode. De Tournes republished the cuts with texts in Spanish 1553 English 1553 and German 1554 as well as Italian. Successive editions contain varying numbers of cuts. “Considerable work could be done on Salomon’s sources for these blocks. But the cumulative effect of Salomon’s carefully detailed scenes is that of an individual contribution to Bible illustration. Particularly interesting from the point of view of technique are the night scenes in Exodus and the storm over Noah’s ark†Harvard/ Mortimer French 81. <br /> <br /> A modest copy but with fine impressions of the woodcuts of one of the greatest sixteenth-century French illustrated books.
