"Collection Victor Jansen" in blue ink on front pastedown.</p> <p> Very rare second edition first published in 1532 of the Aphorisms of Hippocrates edited by François Rabelais 1494-1553 the great Renaissance humanist writer and scholar. Rabelais entered monastic life at the age of sixteen spending about fifteen years at the Franciscan convent of Fontenay-le-Comte before leaving around 1525 to join the more liberal Benedictine order. It was at about this time that he began training as a physician in Paris and Montpellier obtaining his Bachelor of Medicine degree in 1530 and spending the following year studying Hippocrates' Aphorisms and Galen's Ars parva. In 1532 after moving to Lyon to serve as physician to the city's Hôtel-Dieu Rabelais published the work on which his reputation as a serious humanist scholar rests: A small 16mo volume containing Latin translations by other scholars of Hippocrates' Aphorisms Presages De natura humani and De ratione victus and Galen's Ars medicinalis augmented with his own annotations.</p> <p> "Rabelais's role in preparing this edition of the Aphorisms was that of editor. He had in his possession a Greek manuscript for which he claims the twin virtues of age and unimpeachable clarity. While lecturing at Montpellier he had used this to check the Latin translations current among his pupils and had discovered them to be incomplete and incorrect. He then embodied the result of his observations in a set of notes; and the following year while he was at Lyons Stephanus Gryphius saw these notes and suggested their incorporation in a pocket edition of Hippocrates. Rabelais was annoyed by the smallness of the proposed format which meant that his remarks had to be fitted into a very small space but pressed by Gryphius he consented. He took as the basis of his work an edition of the relevant parts of Hippocrates and Galen which Colines had published in 1524. It was decided to reprint this and then to add Rabelais's notes in the form of interpolation and marginal comment; and Rabelais's Greek text of the Aphorisms according to his much vaunted manuscript was printed as an appendix" Bolgar p. 63.</p> <p> Our copy of the second Rabelais edition begins with the Greek text of the Aphorisms which has its own title-page; in most copies these signatures are bound at the end of the work. It is likely that the interleaving and eccentric arrangement of the remaining signatures was done at the request of the 16th-century owner whose copious annotations written in a tiny beautiful and legible italic hand fill most of the interleaved sheets as well as the margins of many text pages. Some notes in a different hand are also found on several leaves. Adams H-576 H-558. Bakhtin Rabelais and his World p. 361.

15263111<p>Venice: Aldine Press 1526. A fine and fresh copy of the editio princeps of the Hippocratic corpus a collection of texts assembled in the third century B.C. including the Hippocratic Oath and many of the foundation texts of western medicine traditionally attributed to the legendary physician and teacher Hippocrates of Cos. "It is uncertain which of them if any are directly connected with the historical physician Hippocrates of Cos who flourished in the latter half of the fifth century B.C. Through the writings attributed to him Hippocrates is credited with developing the first system of empirical medicine based on clinical experience and the Hippocratic Oath has long been regarded as expressing the fundamental ethical and moral standards of the medical profession" Grolier Medicine p. 3. The text was edited by Francesco Torresani using a fifteenth-century manuscript now in Paris BNF MS gr. 2141 with corrections provided by a second manuscript which belonged to Cardinal Bessarion Venice Bibliotheca Marciana MS gr. 269. This edition comprising 59 works includes some that were not included in the Latin translation by Marco Fabio Calvo published the previous year in Rome. "The Aldine Greek edition of Hippocrates marked a significant advance over Calvus’s Latin translation. As Franciscus Asulanus Francesco Torresani pointed out in his notice to the reader it repaired a considerable number of accidental omissions and one long repetition that Calvus. made because he followed only one manuscript. Moreover by presenting the original text it laid the necessary foundation for all further philological and medical study of the corpus" ibid.
