1598D6965Venice: apud haeredes Melchioris Sessae 1598. First Venice Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Folio 310 x 210mm. 2175pp. 1 301pp. 2 12pp. 175pp. 1. Contemporary dark brown goatskin title and preliminaries lacking and supplied in early manuscript with illustrated printers device some browning and staining least severe after page 9. 17th-century inscriptions on rear endpaper for Index Capitum a medical students description of the various parts. Pictorial wood-engraved ex-libris by Leo Wyatt for Lord Norwich on front endpaper. <br/><br/>First Venice Edition of Capivaccios philosophical practica in Galenic teachings a pillar for medical students of the Renaissance. First edition printed in Frankfurt in 1594 under the title Practica Medicina. Capivaccios lectures were posthumously edited by Johann Hartmann Beyer. This is the first Venice edition of these lectures on the healing sciences by one of the leading Italian medical practitioners of his time is edited by Giovanni Bernardo Sessa. Capivaccio died at Padua in 1589 where he had taught at the university for 27 years. He was a specialist in venereal diseases for which he had developed certain successful cures guarding his secrets jealously from colleagues. Capivaccio applied a philosophical approach to his practica so much so that it is doubtful if it was ever much used as a vade mecum. By writing at such great lengths it is clear Capivaccio wished to educate students rather than give them a handbook. Apart from the wish to restore Galenic teachings and to educate students one motive for Capivaccios practica may have been to bolster the claims of university doctors over the central providers of medical expertise in the Renaissance namely priests wise-women magicians herbalists and travelling empirics. This work important to the reform of the practice of medicine and to the wider concept of dogmatism or rationalism in medicine the Renaissance physician could use Capivaccios work to locate the causes of diseases as well as its signs.

2085Hardcover. Tan smooth calf morocco boards. Good in custom matching slipcase good. 37 x 17 cm. 119 linen-backed leaves of manuscript notations and paste down documents. Peter Fahrney 1840-1905 president and founder of Fahrney & Sons Co. was born in Maryland to a family of herbal practitioners. His grandfather known as Ole Dr. Peter Fahrney was well known in the Boonsboro area of Maryland and his office has been preserved to this day. Peter Fahrney grew up in Pennsylvania and attended Jefferson Medical College and the Philadelphia School of Pharmacy. He began practicing medicine in Pennsylvania in 1861 at the age of twenty-one. During the Civil War Fahrney left Pennsylvania and moved to Chicago. His practice grew from general practice to the manufacturing of natural remedies which were sold nationwide. His factory burned down in the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 but he was back in business within days. The Fahrney & Sons Company and his uncle Daniel manufactured similar products under Dr. Daniel Fahrney & Son. The ledger is most likely Fahrney's first: it begins in his first year of practice and in addition to patient accounting records includes costs of building his office digging the foundation laboratory supplies etc. An original order form for Dr. Fahrney's blood vitalizer is included. Many patients are listed. Included in the front of the ledger and stapled to the frond endpaper are three notarized statements authenticating the ledger. The first is by Edward J. Ryan of Cook County Illinois a former employee of Dr. Fahrney swearing to the authenticity of the ledger and confirming the handwriting found within is that of the doctor. A statement of John E. Burget confirms the validity of 21 of the persons named in the ledger with notes added: John W. Brumbaugh - My Grandfather; George W. Brumbaugh - My Mother's Uncle; John Dilling - Farmer; Dr. John Wengert - Drugs; Samuel Grabill - Merchant; David Wineland - Black smith; J.C. Sanders - Druggist; Daniel M.
