Alexandre Brignoli was an Italian professional photographer active in Cairo between 1860 and 1870. His studio was based at the Hôtel du Commerce and his production almost exclusively consists of Orientalist portraits. His work seemed to be more aimed at artists than almost any other commercial work in the Middle East and North Africa.

These additions in fact complete the first fen, the whole comprising the philosophical foundation of Avicenna's entire system of medicine.

May have been issued with the editions of Monte's commentaries on other parts of the Canon published in Venice under the same imprint between 1556 and 1557. The newly added chapter De membris (p. 553-605) is followed by 2 others: De facultatibus and De virtutibus naturalibus ministrantibus. Corrected and enlarged edition of the work previously edited by W. Lublin and published in Venice in 1554. Printer's device with inscription "Vincent" on t.p. and repeated on leaf 2S6v.
