No Known Copyright Printed in double columns in Italian Gothic types, with capital spaces Al-Razis Kitab al-Mansouri ("Liber ad Almansorem", Book of medicine dedicated to Mansur) is a short, general textbook on medicine in ten chapters. It was translated into Latin and became one of the most widely read medieval medical manuals in Europe. The first six books treat of physiology and dietetics, the seventh of surgery, the eighth of poisons and the tenth of fevers. The ninth book, on therapeutics, frequently circulated by itself under the title "Liber nonus ad Almansorem" (Chapter nine of the book of medicine dedicated to Mansur). It was long used in the West as the foundation of academic instruction on therapeutics, and was often commented upon. Numerous editions of the book were printed in Renaissance Europe, with commentaries by prominent physicians of the day. This edition includes a commentary of Syllanus de Nigris in this particular ninth chapter. Syllanus de Nigris was a physician of Cremona, who flourished at the end of the fourteenth century, and was professor of medicine at Pavia. It also contains the first edition of Pietro da Tossignano's "Receptae" on the same book. Pietro de Tossignano flourished in the first half of the fourteenth century, and was professor of medicine in Bologna. The edition is the first authenticated production of the printer Benardinus Stagninus. Title according to Brit. Mus. Cat. of books printed in the XVth cent.
