Show moreThis volume collects several woks on medecine, being the first that of 'Abu Zakariyya' Yuhanna Ibn Masawayh, known as Mesue Yuhanna Ibn Masawayh (C.777-857), one of the great name of Islamic medicine. He was personal physician to the abbasid Caliphs al-Ma'mun, al-Mutasim, al-Wathiq and al-Mutawakkil, and spent most of his life in baghdad and Samarra. He contributed to the translating activities of the famous Bayt al-Hikma; and Hunayn ibn Ishaq, the most influential of the traslators of Greek scientific texts, was his pupil. Despite his distinction, much of Ibn Masawayh's writing has not reached us. Just a handful of his text are extant in Arabic. More has been preserved in Latin Translation, though the attribution of some text to an elder as opposed to a younger Mesue has given the false impression thar there was more than one Ibn Masawayh. It is followed by a well-known work by Francisco de Pedemontium and the Antidotarium of Nicolaus Salernitarum. The last work on medecine is from Abulkasim. Antidotarium Nicolai.

Show moreBound in vellum with gold tooling by Leighton, Brewer St. W. Third incunabular edition of the principal work of Albumasar (d. 886), the Arabian mathematician and astronomer whose works exercised a profound influence upon the medieval world view in the occident. His "Flores" are probably extracted from "De magnis coniunctionibus" (cf. DSB I, 35, 1); according to Houzeau/Lancaster, no Arabic original text or manuscript is known. The woodcuts show allegories of the planets and the zodiac, illustrating this astrological florilegium. - First 3 ff. show a faint brownstain; otherwise only very insignificantly browned. A very clean, crisp copy in a beautifully restrained modern binding by Philippe Belz, who took over the Niedrée shop in 1860 and retired in 1880.

The penultimate incunable edition of what "remained for centuries the standard text-book of pharmacy in the West" (Sarton), with the commentary of Mondino, the great anatomist, and other texts including Abulcasis' Liber servitoris. Mesue "was for centuries the authority on the composition of medicaments. The book was not only in use in practically every European pharmacy but in addition became the basis of the later official pharmacopoeias. The Grabadin [or Antidotarium, contained here] is, as Sudhoff calls it, 'the pharmacological quintessence of Arabian therapeutics' and contains the entire armamentarium of compounded medicines which we owe to the Arabians. The arrangement is like that of the later pharmacopoeias. The compounded medicines are divided into groups according to their forms - confections, juleps, syrups, etc. - the monographs containing directions for the preparation of the respective products and also notes on their medical uses" (Edward Kremers and George Urdang, History of Pharmacy, 1940, p. 21). Much of the basic terminology of pharmacy, words such as julep and syrup, derives from the Arabic. EI, III, pp. 872-73; Sezgin, III, pp. 231-36.
