1709JC14459Amsterdam: Ex officina Wetsteniana 1709. Hardcover. Very Good. Small 4to 200 x 155mm. 32 index 728pp. Signatures: 1star-4star4 A-Z4 Aa-Zz4 Aaa-Zzz4 Aaaa-Yyyy4. Full-page engraved half-title of scene of busy hospital room with patients reclining in beds in background and ailing patient treated by group of physicians with herbs and bottled medicines. Title printed in red and black. Preface by Swiss editor and physician Johann Conrad Amman 1669-1724. Period half vellum blind stamped with arabesque to covers backed in calf of gilt-stamped spine with red morocco lettering label: AURELIANI DE MORBIS; binding slightly rubbed with few spots internally clean and complete. <br/><br/>Though Caelius Aurelius was a Latin translator of ancient Greek medical manuscripts philologists often discuss his work as if he was the original author. He was born in Sicca Numidia now in Algeria with a dubious start but almost certainly flourished as a Greco-Roman physician in the mid-fifth century. Caelius Aurelius is known by his Latin medical writings especially this translation of a now lost Greek medical textbook on diseases written by Soran of Ephesos and titled De Morbis Acutis & Chronicis or On Acute and Chronic Diseases. Both authors are considered to be the primary representatives of the secta methodici or Methodist school a Greek school of medicine whose texts gave access to and crucially reconstructed the rich medical teachings of the ancient world. The work De Morbis Acutis & Chronicis consists of two parts. The first part deals with fourteen acute diseases in three books and the second consists of five books and covers forty-four chronic diseases. This is widely regarded as the best edition of the Caelius Aureliuss work edited by Johann Conrad Amman and published in Amsterdam by Jacob de Wetstein in 1709; it was reprinted in 1722 1755 and 1759. This edition contains valuable annotations and a Lexicon Caelianum by the Dutch physician Theodorus Janssonius van Almeloveen 1657-1712. Aldus first published it in 1547 in a collection titled Medici Antiqui Omnes. This text is one of the most valuable in the field of pathology not only for describing a grant range of diseases including sections on psychiatry and neurology and their treatments famously prescribing sun-baths for chronic affections but that it also contains the foundation of contemporary Latin medical terminology rooted in the Greek language. Rare first edition far more common is the Amsterdam edition of 1722. Ex officina Wetsteniana hardcover books

18TH CENTURY RELIGIOUS POETRY A TYPOGRAPHY A REMONDINI PRESSABAA

Componimenti poetici nella solenne professione di suor Maria Teresa Crocefissa al secolo illustrissima signora Girolama Gaudio nellÂ’insigne monistero do Girolama di Venezia consagrati agli illustrissimi signoro Giuseppe Luigi e Clemente Gaudio Fratelli Amorosissimi Della Medesima.

1764KC8048Venice: Remondini 1764. Hardcover. Very Good. Folio 315 x 240mm. 38pp. I-XXXVIII. Finely printed with decorative chapter headings and tail-pieces. Engraved printerÂ’s device of Remondini depicting bishop with putti carrying crozier and miter. Engraved vignette of muses on dedication page. Decorative paper covered boards; some minor soiling or staining joint repaired on title verso lacking first and last blanks otherwise complete and in good form with good wide margins. <br/><br/>Collection of poetic essays in song of Sister Maria Theresa Crocefissa 1645-1699 an Augustinian nun from Venice known for her long orations printed by the Remondini press. In the 16th century Venice was the marketplace of the world. Its location on the lagoon and its unique connections with the sea distinguished it as a cosmopolitan center among the great cities of the Renaissance. In this larger context commerce and trade played a central role in the development and achievements of music printing. The subject of this work is poems written as canzones and sonettoes or songs and little songs of Sister Maria Crocefissa. From an early age Maria Crocefissa was devoted to long poetic orations. Soon she was also engaged in self-punitive actions including wearing a hairshirt. At the age of 23 she experienced her first religious ecstasies. During these periods of trance some lasting well over a week she regressed into a childlike state that left her completely paralyzed. The presence of Maria Crocefissa in her Augustinian convent of San Girolamo brought about a series of supernatural episodes and mysterious sightings which interested the public. While she was still alive her papers were widely published. This particular title of her poems addressed to Girolama Gaudio is of utmost rarity not located in a contemporary library collection or market worldwide. From the Remondini press who by the second half of the 18th century were employing more than a thousand people in the Bassano del Grappa with hundreds of others busy in their local paper mills and selling their products in scores of countries making them perhaps the biggest publishers in Europe. Between 1751 and 1790 Remondini were granted more licenses for books than all the other Venice booksellers put together. Printed matter was a luxury and the Remondini press was known to employ refined typographical features to suit the tastes of buyers. In this work attention is paid to the decorative elements initials and layout of each page. Remondini hardcover books
