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. 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

BRASS FOUNDRY PATTERN BOOK English 18th centuryABAA

Early English trade catalogue of brass furniture hardware designs

179728174Birmingham England 1797. Oblong quarto. 7 1/2 x 11 inches. 143 engraved plates 13 folding on laid paper priced throughout in manuscript. Period calf-backed marbled paper covered boards Provenance: W. G. & Co. inscription on front endpaper A rarely encountered pattern book or trade catalogue of 18th century English furniture hardware including drawer pulls keyholes hinges locks castors bolts watch stands and more. By 1770 over thirty different brass foundries operated in Birmingham England making it the epicenter of furniture hardware design in the last quarter of the 18th century. At roughly the same period trade catalogues like the present began to be issued by both furniture and hardware makers alike. Although most of the brass foundry trade catalogues of this early period have no indication of the foundry the present pattern book is inscribed W. G. & Co. on the front pastedown. In all nearly 1000 designs are shown on the 143 plates from rather simple hinges and hooks to incredibly ornate pulls knockers watchstands etc. Although no engravers's names are identified it has been suggested that the foundries themselves produced such plates utilizing the talents of their own craftsmen who by their very occupation would have been highly skilled at etching on metal. Such pattern books "illustrate the beginning of what was then a new movement in the conditions of the crafts namely the growth of the organised factory as a means of production and distribution as compared with the earlier limitation of these functions to the efforts of individuals" Young.
