4to (167 x 215 mm). Persian illuminated manuscript on paper. 31 ff., written on both sides, 11 lines per extensum. Black ink with rubricated titles, written in a thin and very cursive Indian nastaliq style tending already to perform the "shorthand" writing infractions of the shekasteh ("broken") variety. With a coloured headpiece and 10 full-page coloured illustrations. Blindstamped red leather with reinforced spine. A prose work of anecdotal moral tales, most likely from North-Western India (now Pakistan) from the mid or third quarter of the 19th century. Untitled and without a colophon or marginalia, beginning abruptly, it appears to be incomplete, despite the conventional presence of an - apparently overpainted - headpiece of the sarlawh type. - Unlike similar Persian allegorical prose works, whose tales revolve mostly around allegorical animal characters, this narrative, oriented towards moral and spiritual instruction, appears to be inspired on the one hand by Saadi’s gently ironic works such as "Gulestan". Divided into several chapters, or "abvab", it focuses on the moral analysis of human deeds and intentions, informed by Indian Sufi spiritual tradition. - The scene is set in an exquisitely Indian historical context: the text mentions a "raj" (Hindu king), and the Mughal Empire also make an appearance with the protagonist of the final tale, Alamgir Padshah (the "World-Seizing Emperor", likely the Mughal ruler Awrangzeb, who reigned 1658-1707), encountering a certain Mard-i murtaz (a spiritually well-versed man). The manuscript is embellished by full-page miniatures, one depicting a hunting scene, another illustrating a valiant horseman slaying a dragon-like monster. The illustrations are colourful and lively, if conventional in their disposition of the human figures and landscape before a background without depth.

Upon learning that his friend's wife had given birth to yet another female Palmieri proposed to him the method devised by Jacques-André Millot surgeon-midwife of Marie-Antoinette and the Duchesses of Orleans and Bourbon with which they hypothesized techniques during the conception which would have guided in the choice of the genre of the unborn child and set about the translation with commentary of the work printed in its first absolute edition in Paris in 1800 with the title <em>L'Art de procreÌer les sexes aÌ€ volonteÌ ou SysteÌ€me complet de geÌneÌration par Jacques-AndreÌ Millot</em>.</p><p>The work however is not a mere translation.

In particular it discusses the way to choose the gender during procreation the experiences and proofs of the functioning of the method ending with the final conclusions.</p><p>The text then continues this is the missing part in the works recorded in WorldCat with the extensive notes and comments of the translator and with the final part dedicated to the<strong> <em>Memoria sulla Dissenteria epidemica del 1808.</em></strong></p><p>"<em>I do not believe I can render a greater service to humanity than to give it the mode of procreating the gender at will; this knowledge would also have its Moral goal: it is I believe the only means of increasing if it is possible the tenderness of the Fathers and Mothers and the attachment of the Children for them because the parents who will have only Children of their choice will see them with continual satisfaction</em> " Millon op. cit.</p><p>Census: University of Chicago Signature 2 xiv 160 pp. Cornell University Library New York Signature 2 xiv 160 pp. Pontificia Università Gregoriana Roma signature xiv 176 47 1.</p><p>World-Cat apparently records only three copies of this title.

144931Paris, Moutardier, oct. 1831 in-8, basane racinée, dos lisse orné, tranches mouchetées (reliure de l'époque). Galeries de vers avec légères atteintes sur le premier plat, dos frotté
Rara prima edizione cinquecentesca. Qualche restauro alle ultime carte che copre piccole parti di testo, uniforme e leggera brunitura del primo fascicolo, ma esemplare molto buono, marginoso e fresco. Antiche manicule, note e segni di attenzione passim. Trattato attribuito a Alberto Magno, ma probabilmente composto da uno dei suoi discepoli, ebbe fin dal Medioevo un’ampia circolazione (se ne conoscono più di ottanta manoscritti). Muovendo dalle teorie aristoteliche, galeniche e ippocratiche, l’opera tratta della natura femminile sia da un punto di vista medico sia filosofico, e dell’influenza degli astri sulle nascite. Assai raro, non se ne rilevano esemplari nel catalogo SBN. Adams A 533; Cantamessa, Biblioastrology, 98 (in nota)

Cfr. Castiglioni, p. 635: "Lorenzo Heister (1683-1758), nato a Francoforte, allievo di Boerhaave, è l'autore di un testo di chirurgia che si può considerare come uno dei primi trattati completi" - Morton,5576 cita la I ed. tedesca di Norimberga, 1718: “Heister is the founder of scientific surgery in Germany.

Ediz. orig. e unica di questo trattato pubblicato per la prima volta in francese tra il 1578 e il 1579 da L. Joubert (1529-1583) medico e chirurgo del Re di Francia: vi sono raccolte molte credenze popolari e superstizioni legate soprattuttto alla sfera sessuale, al parto, alle malattie, al concepimento . Molto curioso è l'ultimo capitolo dedicato all'allattamento ("Perchè il latte di quella che ha fatto un maschio è migliore per allevare un femmina e viceversa", "Chi deve poppar di più ò un maschio ò una femmina"). L'opera ebbe fama in italiana nella traduzione di Alberto Luchi da Colle, medico toscano originario di Colle Val d'Elsa, inviato alla corte di Francia dal Granduca Francesco I de Medici.
