16TH CENTURY MEDICINE CAPIVACCIO Girolamo 1523 1589ABAA

Medicina practica sive Methodus cognoscendorum & curandorum omnium corporis humani affectuum

1598D6965Venice: apud haeredes Melchioris Sessae 1598. First Venice Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Folio 310 x 210mm. 2175pp. 1 301pp. 2 12pp. 175pp. 1. Contemporary dark brown goatskin title and preliminaries lacking and supplied in early manuscript with illustrated printers device some browning and staining least severe after page 9. 17th-century inscriptions on rear endpaper for Index Capitum a medical students description of the various parts. Pictorial wood-engraved ex-libris by Leo Wyatt for Lord Norwich on front endpaper. First Venice Edition of Capivaccios philosophical practica in Galenic teachings a pillar for medical students of the Renaissance. First edition printed in Frankfurt in 1594 under the title Practica Medicina. Capivaccios lectures were posthumously edited by Johann Hartmann Beyer. This is the first Venice edition of these lectures on the healing sciences by one of the leading Italian medical practitioners of his time is edited by Giovanni Bernardo Sessa. Capivaccio died at Padua in 1589 where he had taught at the university for 27 years. He was a specialist in venereal diseases for which he had developed certain successful cures guarding his secrets jealously from colleagues. Capivaccio applied a philosophical approach to his practica so much so that it is doubtful if it was ever much used as a vade mecum. By writing at such great lengths it is clear Capivaccio wished to educate students rather than give them a handbook. Apart from the wish to restore Galenic teachings and to educate students one motive for Capivaccios practica may have been to bolster the claims of university doctors over the central providers of medical expertise in the Renaissance namely priests wise-women magicians herbalists and travelling empirics. This work important to the reform of the practice of medicine and to the wider concept of dogmatism or rationalism in medicine the Renaissance physician could use Capivaccios work to locate the causes of diseases as well as its signs.

Daniel Sennert born in Breslau was a student and the professor of medicine at the University of Wittenberg the intellectual center of Lutheranism.

These are Sennerts complete works in six parts each with a separate dated title page printed in red and black. His Opera was first published in Paris in 1641 and this edition expanded . with the omission of Tabulae institutionum and the addition of Vita Danielis Sennerti Judicia virorum clarissimorum Methodus discendi medicinam De curatione infantium De arthritide Tragopodagra Luciani in Greek and Latin Exoterica Epitome librorum de febribus Epistolarum medicinalium una cum responsorii D. Michaelis Doringei centuriae duae. The Epitome is reprinted from the Epitome edited by Claude Bonnet-- Krivatsy. This edition is regarded as the best. Among Sennerts many achievements he was the first to introduce chemistry as a subject of the medical curriculum and to make a serious effort to harmonize the Galenic doctrines of medicine with those of Paracelsus. Besides giving early accounts of scarlatina and rubella Sennert added to the knowledge of scurvy dysentery and alcoholism. He was an able clinician but a believer in witchcraft.-- Garrison-Morton 61. Scarcely found on the market these volumes are a complete set of Sennerts studies and 17th century medicine. Sennert was known to apply astrology to medicine and the supernatural origins of disease.

At that time this institution was a receptacle for lunatics paupers criminals and other victims of a depraved life. The most rudimentary hygienic laws were grossly violated in its management and the nursing was inefficient and untrustworthy.

AMERICANA / BOTANY / MEDICINE/. MONARDES Nicolas.ABAA

VERY RARE FIRST EDITION 1565 INFLUENTIAL EARLY WORK ON AMERICAN BOTANY Dos libros. El uno trata de todas las cosas que traen de nuestras Indias Occidentales que sirven al uso de medicinaâ€¦.

15655777"FOR MANY YEARS THE MOST IMPORTANT WORK ON THE MEDICINAL PLANTS OF THE NEW WORLD"8vo 13.4 x 9.1 cm 132 ff. with woodcut border to title page and woodcut initials. Bound in later stiff vellum title stamped on spine gift inscription on the front flyleaf to a certain 'Carmen Ballina' dated 1922 now covered in paper. Only minor wear and rubbing to binding. 'Tassa' price of 51 maravedis entered in manuscript on title page as issued early signature of a certain 'Henrique Correa' at fol. aiiir the occasional contemporary annotation in the text minor occasional dampstaining very minor occasional marginal worming. Very rare first edition 1565 â€“ virtually unacquirable for the past half century or more â€“ of the first printed work devoted to the botanical and medicinal discoveries made in the Americas a treatise which through its later expansions and numerous translations would remain "for many years the most important work on the medicinal plants of the New World" Garrison & Morton. The Dos libros was written by the renowned physician NicolÃ¡s Monardes 1493-1588 in Seville then the center of the Spanish printing industry and the only port from which ships were authorized to sail to and from the New World. Born in 1493 in the very year Columbus returned from his first voyage Monardes thus both occupied a front row seat for first decades of the 'Columbian Exchange' and was ideally positioned to disseminate his findings to a wider European indeed global audience.Monardes shared much with his contemporary Garcia d'Orta 1501-68 the Portuguese physician stationed in India and famed for his Coloquios dos simples e drogas e consas medicinais da India Goa 1563: "Just as d'Orta gave the learned world of the West the first accurate accounts of various Asian medicinal and commercial plants so did Monardes with those of America â€¦ Monardes like Garcia d'Orta has a strong claim to be regarded as one of the fathers of the science of pharmacognosy. Both of them compiled what were virtually complete monographs on many important items of our actual materia medica which were then unknown or only inaccurately known to the Western World Boxer pp. 23-24. Even the diffusion of these two authors throughout the learned world of early modern Europe shared a common source in the Latin versions made of them by the Flemish physician and botanist Charles de L'Ecluse Carolus Clusius 1526-1609 who published them together for the first time at Antwerp by Plantin in 1574 and afterwards.Monardes eagerly capitalized on his unique position in Seville to acquire botanical news specimens and seeds from the New World cultivating his own garden of American plants and distributing cuttings to correspondents throughout Spain and Europe. In 1553 he established a transatlantic business partnership with a colleague in Tierra Firme and over the next three decades Monardes' three sons and four daughters emigrated to Tierra Firme and New Spain thus providing him with a network which would prove invaluable in collecting information for the 1565 Dos libros and in expanding the treatise in its 1571 and 1574 editions published as Segunda Parte and Primera y Segunda y Tercera Partes de la Historia Medicinal. In the Dos libros Monardes describes more than two dozen botanical remedies sarsaparilla copal and other aromatic balsams guaiacum lignum vitae etc. their medicinal applications native nomenclature and where they were to be found Mexico City Jalisco MichoacÃ¡n Cuba Santo Domingo San Juan Cartagena Honduras Peru Nicaragua. Fascinatingly he views this specialized information through the broader lens of early American exploration discussing the voyages of Columbus and HernÃ¡n CortÃ©s Monardes' near contemporary the spread of New World diseases among the first conquistadors and assessing the value of America's medicinal riches against her wealth of gold and silver.In his first printed work Dialogo llamado pharmacodilosis o declaracion medicinal Seville 1536 Monardes noted that he was skeptical of the therapeutic value of plants from the New World but "his change of heart between 1536 and 1565 about the value of American materia medica was a gradual process and was due to his own experience" Boxer p. 22. Monardes "took great care after about 1536 to examine those plants imported and/or transplanted into Spain â€“ a self-imposed task facilitated by the unrivaled position of Seville as the sole entrepÃ´t for Spanish trade with the New World â€¦ just as d'Orta cultivated Asian plants in his gardens and orchards at Goa and Bombay so Monardes had a botanical garden with native and exotic plants at Sevilla" Boxer 22.In addition to Clusius' Latin translation of Monardes De simplicibus medicamentis ex Occidentli India delatis 1574 first Latin edition an English translation appeared in 1577 by John Frampton under the title Joyful newes out of the newe found world. Italian French and German translations followed with the work going through 19 editions during Monardes' lifetime and 14 after his death.In the present 1565 first edition of the Dos libros Monardes challenged European travelers and residents in the Americas to "'investigate and experiment with the many kinds of medicines that the Indians sell in their markets or Tianguez; it would be a thing of great utility and profit to see and know their properties and to experiment with their varied and great effects which the Indians make public and manifest through the great experiences they make of them among themselves'" Monardes quoted from Bleichmar Visual Voyages p. 51. But tapping into native knowledge of medicinal matters apparently proved more difficult than Monardes had anticipated: In the 1571 Segunda Parte he notes that the increasing Amerindian hostility to the European presence in the Americas was provoking them to keep their medicinal/botanical practices secret to the point of providing misleading information to colonists seeking local remedies and consequently his 1565 Dos Libros had in fact become the primary source for Indian medicinal knowledge even among Europeans stationed and living in the Americas among the native populace see Bleichmar Visual Voyages p. 51.Monardes' other published works include the 1539 De secanda vena in pleuriti inter Grecos et Arabes concordia and his 1540 De rosa et partibus eius. His treatise on the medicinal properties of the bezoar stone is appended to the present Dos libros.OCLC locates U.S. examples of this 1565 Dos Libros of Monardes at the National Library of Medicine John Carter Brown Wisconsin Hunt Botanical SMU and NYPL.

More precious than Rubies Cover title

19262327New York: Gallia Laboratories Inc. 1926. 24mo 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 inches; 138 x 107 mm 8 pages in stapled wrappers. Promotional pamphlet for Kola Astier a product possessing "remarkable curative and stimulative properties quite unknown to any other preparation." According to the manufacturer Gallia Laboratories Kola Astier builds muscular strength fights fatigue relieves depression and "melancholia" stimulates the heart and helps in combatting bronchitis pneumonia and "senile debility." It also acts we're told as a "remarkable regenerator" for "tired overworked men and women." Where did this cure for every ailment come from According to the company Dr. P. Astier recognized the amazing properties of the kola nut. "Long before the white man traversed the midnight jungles and the wild plains of mysterious Africa the natives were using the fruit of the Kola Tree to increase their physical stamina and powers of endurance. Finally when the first white explorers forced their way into the heart of the Dark Continent they too soon recognized the value of this gift of the Gods." This text is accompanied by an illustration of spear-wielding African warriors. Other illustrations depict runners an apparently sick office worker and an exhausted home maker. Unfortunately for the company the U.S. Agriculture Department determined that Kola Astier contained no ingredients capable of producing any therapeutic or curative effects claimed by the company. In March 1933 the U.S. Attorney for New Jersey sought the seizure of 199 bottles of Kola Astier Granulated charging misbranding in violation of federal rules. Analysis by the U.S. Agriculture Department showed that the product consisted essentially of sugar 97.3% and small proportions of plant material including kola. A federal district court ordered that the 199 bottles be destroyed. That judgment didn't stop Gallia Laboratories from promoting its miracle cure. In June 1943 the Federal Trade Commission charged the company with making false misleading and deceptive statements about its products. It ordered the company to stop claiming that Kola Astier had any therapeutic value in the treatment of any disorder. This pamphlet is rare. OCLC shows no institutional holdings. None in commerce. CONDITION: Some staining soiling and a few small nicks to wrappers as well as rusting to staples. But the pages are clean bright and unmarked. A Very Good copy.
