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.

Calf ca. 1543 rebacked some edgewear minor worming holes for leather ties present on front and rear covers. Very good copy. Extensively annotated in at least two 16th-century hands in the text front endpapers and on interleaved pages; 18 leaves of manuscript notes and commentary in what appears to be the same hands bound in the back followed by 16 blank leaves. Old woodcut armorial bookplate of D'Esbiey tipped to verso of title; later signature "A. de Grateloup" on bookplate. "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.

He served the Catholic forces of Philip II of Spain as a chirurgian major in 1590 Siege of Paris during the French Wars of Religion. Upon returning to Scotland Lowe was dismayed at the state of Scottish medicine. He petitioned and received a charter from James VI James I of England to found what became the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow. First published in 1597 the book was notable as the first comprehensive text of surgery written in English. In the book Lowe outlined a number of novel procedures in neurosurgery many dealing with military medicine. Lowe also wrote about the Spanish Sickness an early treatise on Syphilis. Also included is Lowe's English translation of the Prognostics of Hippocrates. See: Tubbs Maister Peter Lowe and His 16th Century Contributions to Cranial Surgery.

1724HCHAA4VAGU23Paris: Guillelmum Cavelier 1724. Contemporary calf gold-tooled spine red edges marbled pastedowns and endpapers. 12mo. With a woodcut device on title-page and a tailpiece on the last page. 2 volumes. 18th-century edition of Hippocrates Aphorisms in Greek and Latin printed in 1724 in Paris. Hippocrates in the Islamic tradition known as Boqrat where he is often referred to as the first codifier of medicine is often named together with Galen and their works mainly survived because of the Arabic translations. His aphorisms are a series of observations from which the patients affliction could be deduced and treatment prescribed. Their broad application made them exceptionally valuable to medical practitioners of the time. These aphorisms were very popular in the Islamic world and they can show us that Arabic-speaking authors critically engaged with Greek heritage in Arab translation. Today some of these Arabic commentaries on the Aphorisms have survived and these sources show us how medicine developed in Europe and Arabia through the ages. Although this edition is a combination of Greek and Latin the work was very influential for Arabic medical literature because the Aphorisms led to new writings in this genre. The Aphorisms are an influential benchmark in the Arabic medical literature.With an ink inscription of Ludovici Dubois doctor of medicine. Slightly damaged at lower hinge of the first volume small wormhole in lower margin of the first volume and some occasional spots. A very good copy.l Blake p. 213; P.E.

The 'Hippocratic oath' has remained until today the most valid expression of the duties and ethics of the medical profession.

FIRST GREEK-LATIN EDITION Richly blind-tooled pigskin over 5 mighty double bands with gilt leather spine label and red edges without former binding bands. The first two leaves with old backed tiny wormholes otherwise only evenly minimally browned altogether of the very freshest astonishingly good condition - one would almost like to say "hot off the press" for there are also no ownership notes no entries of any kind. -- The remarkably beautiful binding from the end of the 16th century shows a beautiful virtue scroll with the female allegories of "SPES" "FIDES" "CARITAS" "PRUDENTIA" on the front cover. First Greek-Latin edition of the extensively annotated works of the Greek physician Hippocrates of Kos c. 460-370 B.C. whose teachings were still of indispensable value for the early modern era which is the reason for the high esteem with which the editors treated his work and - here for the first time - made it available to a broad public through the Latin-Greek edition. Hippocrates thus stands at the beginning of scientific human medicine which could then only be completely rethought at the end of the 19th century with the groundbreaking inventions. Until then his work remained binding as a basis and is presented here in a particularly splendid edition: "Good notes by Jacques Hollerius; commentary by Jacot who . took the best from Duret's lectures" Choulant 28. - Durling 2399.
