Text in Gothic letters in double columns, some woodcut initials, and spaces with guide letters; washed; recased in its original calf backed wooden boards, four clasps, the thongs renewed. 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.

Extremely rare, complete copy with the engraved title page, the errata leaf, and all nine plates. Abu Musa Jabir ibn Hayyan (known as "Geber" in the Latin tradition) is the name of an author whose historical existence is under debate, but who, according to Arabic culture, is said to have lived in the second half of the eight century, been the head of a hermetic school, and left an extensive body of works on natural philosophy and alchemy. The rediscovery of Geber for the history of chemistry and alchemy, was introduced by Hermann Kopp in the 19th century. The first German edition, published in Vienna in 1751, was entitled "Geberi des Königes der Araber [...] vollständige Chymische Schriften, worinnen in den vier Büchern das Quecksilber, Schwefel, Arsen inn Gold, Silber, Bley, Zinn, Kupfer, Eisen & Oefen [..], Destillationen [...], Essenzen, Salze, Alaune [...], Cinnober, Glaß, Boras, Essig &c. abgehandelt werden; wie auch das Testament, Güldene Buch der dreyen Wörter Kallid Rachaidibi, und andere Chymische Tractätgen, Summa, die ganze Kunst die unvollkommenen Metalle [...] in Vollkommene, als Silber und Gold zu verwandeln; das ist: wie man Silber und Gold machen soll, enthalten [...]". - Publisher's printed dedication to Caspar Richter ("Polonixe Secretario").

Large 8vo. 2 vols. in 1. Prior pars, chrestomathiam continens: X, (2), 292 pp. Posterior pars, glossarium continens: 246 pp., 1 bl. f. Contemp. half calf with giltstamped label to spine.

Syriac glossary contains definitions in Aramaic, Hebrew, and Latin. - Oberleitner, an orientalist and theologian at the Benedictine "Schottenstift", was Professor of Arabic, Syriac, and Chaldaic Languages and Exegesis at the University of Vienna. "Oberleitner's independent editing of the 'Fundamenta' constitutes an important achievement" (cf. ÖBL).

Binding somewhat rubbed; one clasp loosened. From the Ritter Waldauf Library in Hall with their engr. bookplate and stamp. The Imperial Protonotary Florian Waldauf (also: Baldauf; c. 1450-1510; in 1495 countersignatory to the preliminary contract of the Habsburg-Spanish double wedding) and his wife Barbara founded a chapel, a collection of relics, and a ministry for the Hall parish church. As steward of the Waldauf endowment, the City of Hall was responsible for the donations "das alle jar etliche puecher nach anzaigen des predigers zum predigambt gekauft und in der heiligen capellen liberei an ketten gehangen und versorgt werden"; furthermore, the library was directed to acquire books from the estates of religious figures. Contrary to the Waldauf decree, the library was hardly enlarged by systematic purchases, but mainly through the incidental acquisition of books and endowments, primarily from clergymen, monasteries, and schools. The most famous previous owner was Johannes Eck. "After 400 years of existence and only occasional growth, interest in the survival of the Ritter-Waldauf-Bibliothek seemed to dwindle away. In addition, endowment possibilies dropped off completely during the First World War. During the Second World War an unknown number of valuable manuscripts and prints were handed out to private individuals in Hall, in order to secure them from impoundment by the National Socialists. After the War, however, not one of these books was returned" (cf. Hdb. der hist. Buchbestände in Dtl.).
