ill., br. La storia della peste è stata accompagnata da una ricca, interessante serie di testi letterari e scientifici, spesso destinati a una grande fortuna tra mondo antico ed età contemporanea. In questo volume l'autore, con un approccio interdisciplinare, esamina da un lato i temi e i protagonisti più importanti del dibattito medico-scientifico, dall'altro si sofferma su opere di carattere letterario e su resoconti di medici, magistrati di sanità e funzionari degli apparati governativi e periferici a volte chiamati a isolare le zone interessate con veri e propri "muri della peste" e con provvedimenti "polizieschi" di inaudita violenza: a partire dalla peste nera del 1347-48 fino al contagio di Noja (Noicàttaro, Bari) del 1815-16, l'ultimo episodio di peste bubbonica dell'Europa occidentale. Una particolare attenzione viene riservata al rapporto fra parole e immagini in preziosi manoscritti miniati e in rari libri a stampa: anche l'apparato iconografico evidenzia, in realtà, il forte impatto esercitato sull'immaginario collettivo da questa terribile malattia che sembra quasi prefigurare gli inquietanti scenari pandemici del nuovo millennio.

In folio grande, pp. XIII + (3) + 438 con 1 ritratto all'antip. inc. all'acq. raff. l'A. e 1 tav. f.t. inc. piu' volte rip. Front. stampato in nero e rosso. Gora alle cc. Legatura in mz. pg. coeva. Edizione veneziana dell'opera di questo importante medico inglese (1624-1689), considerato il maggior esponente della medicina inglese del suo secolo per aver dato vita a una nuova scuola clinica basata sullo studio accurato della sintomatologia. Egli, in un'epoca in cui iatrofisici e iatrochimici disputavano fra loro sempre piu' allontanandosi dall'osservazione diretta del malato, riaffermo' la necessita' di riportare la medicina sulla strada dell'osservazione e dell'esperienza, in omaggio ai principi ippocratici. In questa edizione, compaiono inoltre: la Mechanica morborum et medicamentorum di Giovan Battista Mazino, l'Epistola physicomedica di Antonio Celestino, la Dissertatio de salivatione mercuriali di Bartolomeo Boschetti e un'interessante appendice di Sydenham con descrizione della peste torinese del 1722 e la storia epidemica dell'Ungheria.
