In 8° (18,5x12 cm); 95, (1) pp. Senza brossura ma non slegata. Terza non comune edizione notevolmente aumentata e corretta rispetto alla prima del 1805 stampata a Modena, di questo importante scritto medico-farmaceutico del grande medico parmense Pietro Rubini dedicato alle febbri periodiche, alla loro classificazione e al ruolo della china nella loro cura. L'autore nato a Parma nel 1760. Si laureò in medicina all'Università di Parma nel 1782. Dopo aver lavorato per alcuni anni all'Ospedale di Parma, nel 1788 gli venne assegnata una condotta a Compiano. Nel 1794 ottenne la cattedra di Clinica Medica all'università di Parma dopo aver a lungo studiato nei più prestigiosi istituti europei. Medico fra i più celebri del suo tempo fu uno dei fondatori della Società Medico Chirurgica di Parma nel 1804. Nel 1807 fu ammesso all'Accademia Nazionale delle Scienze. Nel 1816 la duchessa Maria Luigia lo nominò protomedico della corte ducale. Appassionato di letteratura, fu tra i fondatori della Società del Gabinetto Letterario, della quale fu presidente nel 1815. In questo celebre scritto, che fu tradotto in tutte le principali lingue europee e suscitò ampio dibattito in tutta Europa, Rubini analizza gli effetti del chinino nella cura delle epidemie di febbri ed in particolare partendo dalle febbri malariche che in quegli anni colpivano con regolarità varie zone del sud Italia.

8vo, hardcover, 388pp. Chinese storytelling has survived through more than a millennium into our own time, while similar oral arts have fallen into oblivion in the West. Under the main heading of 'The Eternal Storyteller', in August 1996 the Nordic Institute of Asian Studies hosted an International Workshop on Oral Literature in Modern China. To this meeting, the first of its kind in Europe, five special guests were invited - master tellers from Yangzhou: Wang Xizotang, Li Xintang, Fei Zhengliang, Dai Buzhang and Hui Zhaolong. The volume derived from this meeting includes an introductory article written by John Miles Foley entitled 'A Comparative View on Oral Traditions'. Thereafter, a wide range of topics relating to Chinese oral literature is covered under the headings: 'Historical Lines', 'A Spectrium of Genres', 'Studies of Yangzhou and Suzhou Story- telling' and 'Performances of Yangzhou Storytelling'. However, the present volume does more than include papers derived from the meeting. It is also lavishly illustrated in word and picture from performances by the guest-storytellers. In so doing, the world of Chinese story telling is not just described and analysed - it is also brought to life.
