Full Title: "LIBELLUS, QUO DEMONSTRATUR: CICUTAM Non solum usu interno tutissime exhiberi, sed et esse simul remedium valde utile in multis morbis, qui hucusque curatu impossibiles dicebantur. Editio Altera. [BOUND WITH] Libellus Secundus. [BOUND WITH] Supplementum Necessarium. Three volumes in one." pp. (16), 110; 292; 67 + Wonderful folding engraved plate of the Giant Hemlock. Foxed. 8vo. Contemporary French full mottled leather binding, slightly worn at extremities. Manuscript of the first owner, a physician, (J. F.?) Coste. An important work on the medical properties and other aspects of hemlock, aconite, hyoscyamus, colchicum, etc. Before this publication, these plants were considered highly poisonous and had been rarely used in medicine owing to the difficulty of accurately estimating their doses and the danger this presented to the patient. Anton Storck, a 19-year-old Viennese doctor, in 1760 repeatedly sipped tea laced with hemlock, said to be the suicide drug of Socrates and believed in Storck's time to be beneficial against pain. The experiment so terrified Storck that he lost the ability to speak temporarily, but he suffered no lasting ill effects, and went on to publish this study. There is a direct line from Storck to the Americans Frederick Prescott and Scott Smith, who in the 1940s had themselves so paralyzed temporarily by curare that not even an eyelid could blink, thus demonstrating that the deadly poison could immobilize patients and revolutionize surgery. Throughout medical history researchers have served deliberately as guinea pigs because animal experiments can work only up to a point. Blake, p. 434; Waring 379.

Elegante legatura degli inizi del XX° secolo in cartoncino a motivi floreali in blu scuro e bianco e titolo in oro su fascetta al dorso. All'interno esemplare in perfetto stato di conservazione e ancora in barbe. Frontespizio in rosso e nero. Edizione più completa fra quelle uscite e non comune, di questa importante opera di interesse botanico, medico e farmacologico. Opera illustrata da 6 tavole, 5 a carattere botanico e una con due tavole in una carta: veduta di Donaueschingen la città tedesca nella parte sud-occidentale dello stato del Baden-Württemberg dove i fiumi Breg e Brigach si uniscono per formare il Danubio e una cartina entro cornice animata della stessa parte della Germania. L'opera contiene anche la Dissertatio medica de thee Elvetico (da c. 2D4r) e la Dissertatio de cymbalaria (da c. 2F6r). Johann Jakob Wepfer (23 dicembre 1620 - 26 gennaio 1695) fu un celebre patologo e farmacologo svizzero nativo di Schaffhausen. Studiò medicina a Strasburgo, Basilea e Padova, e nel 1647 tornò nella sua città natale per praticare l'arte medica. Fu anche un medico della famiglia reale. Wepfer è ricordato per il suo lavoro sull'anatomia vascolare del cervello, e i suoi studi sulle malattie cerebrovascolari. Fu il primo medico ad ipotizzare che gli effetti IMG_0138_clipped_rev_1di un ictus fossero il risultato di sanguinamenti del cervello. Arrivò anche ad ipotizzare che i sintomi dell'ictus potevano essere causati anche da un blocco di una delle arterie che normalmente forniscono sangue al cervello. Da studi post-mortem, ottenne importanti informazioni sulle arterie carotidee e vertebrali. Nel 1658 pubblicò un trattato che divenne presto un classico l'"Historiae apoplecticorum". Wepfer diede importanti contributi anche nel campo della farmacologia sperimentale e tossicologia. Condusse importanti esperimenti sulla tossicità della cicuta, dell'Helleborus e l'Aconitum mettendo in guardia anche contro l'uso dell'arsenico, dell'antimonio e del mercurio in medicina. Nel campo della farmacologia / tossicologia pubblicò nel 1679 questo lavoro qui presentato sulla cicuta e su altri numerose sostanze e piante velenose utilizzate in medicina che divenne ben presto un testo basilare per la storia della farmacologia e della medicina moderna.

Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Modern cloth bdg. Marbled boards. Foolscap 8vo. (18 x 12 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic script). 83 p. Traditionally framed text. Very calligraphic head title in very decorative heart-shaped border and traditional flowers, a couple of scepters with two snakes. Orthography with 'haraka' [i.e. Arabic diacritics]. The heads of each chapter are surrounded by very decorative flowers and borders. An early printed lithographed book designed as a manuscript with its 'kataba' [i.e. imprint]. Slightly stained on pages, minor chipped on upper corners of two pages. Otherwise a very good and very clean copy. Lithographed edition. First and only edition of the first printed Turkish book on the antidotes and poisons. It's written by Mirliva Mustafa Hâmi Pasha, one of the early Ottoman physicists, during the reign of Sultan Abdulmecid II. Hami Pasha served as a military physicist, botanist, and doctor in the Ottoman army in the first half of the 19th century in Hejaz and Yemen. He joined an Ottoman Military expedition to Yemen. The aim of this expedition was to bring Yemen under Ottoman control again. On 23 March 1849, the expeditionary corps marched out of Jeddah. He as a trained medical man practicing in Yemen, also concerned himself with various illnesses. The existence of poisonous animals and plants in the book is mostly based on their experiences in Yemen and Hejaz. His purpose of writing this treatise which he started with prayer and praise to Sultan Abdulmecid II, was the need to explain that it is not good for all poisons, what the real antidotes are, contrary to the belief of a stone known as the "antidote stone" among the people. After the chapter of Muqaddima [i.e. Introduction], poisoning caused by mines and their antidotes is explained in the first chapter. In other chapters, poisons consisting of plant and animal substances, poisons in flowing and air, and in addition to these, the first interventions to be made with plants that have an antidote effect on drowning in water, convulsion, drowning by hanging, drowning from the smell of flowers, freezing are explained. Hami Pasha, who decided to collect this information in a book right after his participation in the 1849 Yemen Expedition (the flora and fauna in his book mostly based on Yemen and its around), printed his book as a lithograph in 1855 at the Amire Printing House, with the encouragement of Sultan Abdülmecid II (who read the manuscript of this text) and the efforts of typographer Muhammed Recai.
