Kupferstichtafel Halbleder im Stil d.Zt.; St.a.Tit.; frisches unbeschnittenes Exemplar. First Edition rare not cut and on extra strong paper! Posthumously published is this monumental work on the internal and external diseases of the head by the famous Swiss anatomist J.L. Wepfer. Preceded by a biographical essay "Memora Wepferiana" written by the eminent physician J.C. Brunner the discoverer of the duodenal glands. Recording nearly 50 years' practice in neurological diseases the volume contains 222 case histories including several dealing with apoplexy the hemorrhagic nature of which had been discovered by Johann Jakob Wepfer 1620-1695. A copious index terminates the volume. "In his treatise Observationes medico-practicae de affectibus capitis internis et externis Medico-practical observations on the internal and external diseases of the head published posthumously by his grandchildren Bemhardin and Georg Michael Wepfer in 1727" "there were six observations about specific ear diseases. One concerned a long-standing cancer which had completely destroyed the auricle two were related to "unpleasant hearing" obauditio a difficult word to translate: it normally means obedience or unpleasant hearing. In medicine it sometimes means impaired hearing but also paracusis or head tinnitus and three discussed "ear tinnitus". Wepfer explained in particular that ear tinnitus accompanying diseases of the ear was due to the obstruction of air-flow from the ear by cerumen secretions or occlusion of the "canal which goes to the palate" i.e. Eustachian tube which could be easily demonstrated. If a healthy ear was occluded by a finger or if a drinking cup was held close to it a muffled sound was clearly perceived but individuals suffering from subjective noises did not hear any additional sound. He also observed that subjective noises could occur not only in ear disease but also in head disease such as hemicrania "obtuse head" "rotatory and staggering vertigo" and hysterical convulsions. Wepfer's therapy was as complicated as it was disputable. For example he advocated curing tinnitus by loud noises. This was supposed to remove from the ear the serous fluid causing tinnitus. His description of vertigo as a symptom of various diseases is considered the best source in the medical literature before the 19th century." Albert Mudry The History of Otology 2015 p.220 Hirsch-H.

Originally composed in 1612 this mystical text brought charges of heresy against Böhme but went on to shape the course of German theosophy Pietism and esoteric philosophy. The Aurora sets out his vision of creation and divine order blending philosophy astrology and theology into a spiritual cosmology that would influence generations of thinkers.<br /> <br /> The engraved frontispiece "Aurora" and accompanying emblematic plate continue the tradition of the Gichtel engravings first introduced in the Amsterdam editions of the 1680s by Böhme's follower Johann Georg Gichtel.

1779262121779. Wien apud Rudolphum Graeffer 1779 8° Titelvignette 176 pp.; Venetiis apud Franciscum ex Nicolao Pezzana 1779 64 pp.; Ledereinband d.Zt. mit reichl. Rückenvergoldung. Rare First Edition! Joseph Jakob von Plenck's 'Doctrina de morbis veneris' 1779 is the venereology counterpart to his famous 'Doctrina de morbis cutaneis' and one of the earliest systematic Latin handbooks devoted specifically to venereal diseases written from the perspective of an 18th-century Vienna-based clinician. It is important because it applies an Enlightenment-era classificatory and nosological framework to venereal diseases at a time when "morbus gallicus" and related conditions were still conceptually fluid. By systematizing syphilis gonorrhoea and other venereal affections into defined classes and species he helped move venereology from a predominantly empirical-practical art toward a more theoretically ordered branch of special pathology parallel to what he achieved for skin diseases. In the broader history of dermatology the 1779 first edition stands as an early link between cutaneous medicine and venereology in Central Europe foreshadowing the later 19th-century fusion of "Haut- und Geschlechtskrankheiten" as a combined specialty. Joseph Jakob von Plenck 1738/1735-1807 was a Hungarian-born physician who became professor in Vienna and is often named as the founder of Austrian dermatology. "In demselben ist keine einzige der damals bekannten Formen dieser Erkrankung übergangen." Lesky 511; Proksch II 438 Duparc - A very rare first Latin edition with only one copy recorded in the ICCU of this work by the renowned French physician Joseph Jacques Gardane who was my professor at the University of Montpellier: In this work the author describes a simple method for the treatment of venereal diseases. The author had already addressed the subject some ten years earlier in his work 'Recherches pratiques sur les différentes manières de traiter les maladies vénériennes' and the study presented here is a supplement to that work in which the author introduces a new simple method of treatment.
