Third edition in English and the first printed in 8vo. of Cornaro’s major work on longevity health and hygiene first published in 1558 as Discorsi della vita sobria. This edition followed on the 1635 & 1653 editions in 12mo. and this one includes all four discourses together with the Italian text of the 1620 Venice edition included as pp. 147-281 in this volume. Cornaro 1475-1566 was from a celebrated Venetian family and derived his ideas from Greco-Roman literature drawing liberally from Cicero and Galen but with an optimistic and hopeful tone and according to Gruman this work was the first to claim with enthusiasm the desirability of longevity.This work was also recognized by Jakob Burckhardt as one of the most remarkable autobiographies of the Italian Renaissance. Cornaro’s views on the prolongation of life supported Burckhardt’s thesis that “it was not the revival of antiquity alone but its union with the genius of the Italian people which achieved the conquest of the Western World. . . the Renaissance is not a mere fragmentary imitation or compilation but a new birth The Civilization of the Renaissance.†Garrison considered this work the best treatise on personal hygiene.

2007HISTOFRAXVIIXVIII00524Seyssel, Champ Vallon, "Epoques", 2007, 16 x 24, 406 pages cousues sous couverture souple illustrée. "Connaît-on vraiment Louis XIV, l'homme Louis XIV ? Derrière les fastes versaillais et les portraits immortalisant la majesté du Roi-Soleil, se cache une réalité bien différente. Louis Dieudonné de Bourbon était un homme comme les autres, notamment au niveau physique. Si une tradition immémoriale lui attribue une santé exceptionnelle, c'est oublier la longue chronologie des maux qui l'ont indisposé dès son enfance et ce jusqu'à une vieillesse passée en chaise roulante dans les jardins de Versailles. Grâce à l'exceptionnel Journal de santé qu'ont tenu ses médecins et aux témoignages de nombreux courtisans, on a pu reconstituer l'histoire vivante de la santé du souverain qui a eu le règne le plus long et sans doute le plus marqué par la maladie. Goutte, fistule anale, furoncle, indigestions, migraines et bien d'autres pathologies ont ponctué la vie de ce client de choix pour les médecins de la cour. Garants de la santé de Louis XIV, les spécialistes de la saignée et du clystère ont accompagné leur patient dans une aventure scientifique et humaine hors du commun. Au quotidien, la vie du monarque était partagée entre le souci de l'Etat et celui de sa propre préservation : d'où un équilibre instable entre banquets gargantuesques et menus allégés, entre affaires sérieuses et escapades horticoles, entre prouesses physiques et repos forcés. Quand l'équilibre était rompu, quand le corps reprenait ses droits sur l'étiquette, l'information ne tardait pas à parcourir le royaume et même à franchir les frontières. De là, la monarchie s'est évertuée à célébrer avec trompettes et feux d'artifices les guérisons du roi. Voilà sans doute de quoi faire taire les rumeurs. De ces fêtes somptueuses s'est dégagée l'image d'un prince stoïque que rien ou presque ne pouvait atteindre : en 1686, à peine opéré de sa fistule à l'anus, Louis tient conseil dans son lit de souffrance. Artistes et poètes s'en souviendront longtemps. Mais l'image est peut-être trop belle pour être vraie... A mi-chemin entre microhistoire, médecine et anthropologie, cette biohistoire de Louis XIV raconte la simple vie d'un homme dont le destin fut aussi exceptionnel que banal."
1774ABC_501841774. Loosely inserted in contemporary wrappers with the manuscript title on the front. The work is kept in a brown cloth folder with a red morocco title label on the front lettered in gold. Folio. Three manuscript reports concerning sickness scurvy hospital conditions and mortality aboard ships of the VOC Dutch East India Company specifically on voyages between the Cape of Good Hope and Batavia and in connection with the Bengal trade.The first document is from 1783 written by the doctor C. J. de Jamars and addressed to the VOC Chamber at Amsterdam this report discusses the uncommon sicknesses and deaths occurring on outward-bound ships between the Cape and Batavia. It refers to earlier resolutions and records that mortality up to the Cape had decreased following improved regulations.Particular emphasis is laid upon scurvy and putrid fevers and upon the inadequacy of medical stores supplied at the Cape. De Jamars argues for a substantial increase in China cinchona bark the principal febrifuge of the period recommending as much as 50 lb for a complement of 300 men. The document reflects the increasing institutional awareness within the VOC of shipboard hygiene provisioning and preventative medicine.The second document is an extract of a report submitted to Mr Willem Arnold Alting 1724-1800 Governor-General of the VOC by several medical officers including B. S. Engelbert. It offers a detailed investigation into the heavy mortality on ships sailing from the Cape to Batavia.The Cape hospital is identified as a principal source of contagion described as dilapidated foul and lacking segregation of patients. Criticism is levelled at the premature discharge of convalescents who were allegedly forced into heavy labour under harsh conditions before full recovery thereby spreading infection aboard ship. Other causes listed include: the embarkation of inexperienced sailors elderly men and boys climatic factors humid oppressive air near the tropics insufficient medicines especially cinchona bark and spirits of vitriol severe restrictions on fresh water for both sick and healthy men.The report makes extensive practical recommendations: improved hospital hygiene provision of clean clothing and bedding prohibition on the sale of sailors garments better victualling including sauerkraut dried fruits barley beans butter and raisins increased water rations and the preparation of restorative drinks in extreme heat.There are vivid observations of men reduced to destitution lacking shoes or bedding when transferred from hospital to ship and of theft and neglect among the lower ranks. The text provides valuable insight into 18th-century naval medicine dietetics and the administrative challenges of long-distance maritime empire.The third document is a memorandum concerning the prevention of scurvy during prolonged stays in Texel prior to departure. Again written by De Famard he observes that idleness lack of exercise and exposure to damp sea air predispose crews to scorbutic disease even before sailing.The wrappers have been reinforced with gauze on the outside. Otherwise in very good condition. hardcover
