Show moreThis treatise by Macrobius is a commentary in two books on the Somnium Scipionis narrated by Cicero at the end of his De re publica. The nature of the dream, in which the elder Scipio appears to his adopted grandson, and describes the life of the good after death and the constitution of the universe from the Stoic point of view. Macrobius also discourses upon many points of physics in a series of essays which show the astronomical notions then current. The moral elevation of the fragment of Cicero gave this work a great popularity in the Middle Ages and was the most widely read Latin compendium of Neoplatonism of the 5th century A.D. This treatise includes one map on p. 154 [i.e. 144] where Europe, Africa and Asia are shown in the upper hemisphere as totally separated from a great southern continent [i.e. Antipodum Nobis Incognita] occupying the lower hemisphere by an intervening great ocean [i.e. Alveus Oceani]. He further labels his map with climatic zones according to the theory of Parmenides (as also more graphically shown on p. 119): two zones close to the poles subject to frigid air [i.e. frigida], either side of the equator a torrid zone [i.e. perusta] and between these two moderate or temperate zones [i.e. temperata]. Decoratively, he has 14 winds blowing across the globe. In the 'Saturnalia', an account of discussions held at the house of Vettius Praetextatus during the feast of the Saturnalia, Macrobius discusses the choice and proper use of food and drink, describing the courses at a banquet with their appropriate wines. Book 5 includes substantial text in Greek. Printer's device on t.p. ; initial. Some pages incorrectly numbered.

Ambrosius Theodosius Macrobius, Roman grammarian and philosopher, flourished during the reigns of Honorius and Arcadius (395-423). He himself states that he was not a Roman, but there is no certain evidence whether he was of Greek or perhaps African descent. Show less

In primi lib. canonis primam fen, profundissima commentaria. Adiecto ... de membris capite. Iano Matthaeo Durastante ... censore. Venice, Vincenzo Valgrisi and Balthassar Constantini, 1557. Small 8vo, 2l + 1t + 1 + 9 (preface) + 21 (index) + 651 + 1 + 2l, with printer's device on title, repeated at colophon, three attractive woodcut intials at the beginning; some contemporary marginalia and underlining; a fine copy of contemporary limp vellum; inner hinge broken. Second edition (first 1554) of Da Monte's commentaries on Booke one, fen 1, of the Cannon of Avicenna, edited by Gian Matteo Durastante with the addition of De membris (mentioned on the title), De facultatibus and De virtutibus naturalibus ministrantibus (not mentioned on the title). These additions in fact complete the first fen, the whole comprising the philosophical foundation of Avicenna's entire system of medicine. Da Monte was professor of medicine at the university of Padua, where in 1465 a statue was passed mandating the teaching of the whole of Book I of the Canon. During 3273 (imperfect); NUC records four other locations, New York Academy of Medicine, Cornell, and two at Yale; the earliest edition in the Wellcome Library is 1558; this edition not in the British Library. 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.

Folio, title within five-piece woodcut border, woodcut initials in both parts, eight full-page woodcuts (one folded, having larger margins left by the binder), and numerous woodcuts in the text of Abulcasis (see below); small library stamp on verso of title, four marginal tears repaired, some worming towards the end; a pleasant copy, with striking endpapers, bound in eighteenth century German mottled sheep, large gilt arms of the Munich Court Library on covers, spine gilt in compartments. A very handsome edition of Abulcasis surgical text, “the first rational, complete and illustrated treatise on surgerY and surgical instruments” (Garrison-Morton). Many of the operative procedures and instruments described by Abulcasis do not appear in extant classical writings and may therefore be regarded as his own, or at least as being part of distinctly Arab practice. The work deals extensively with cauterization, a procedure recommended by the Prophet, and contains several chapters on dentistry and operations of the eve. gvnaecologv and the treatment of wounds and fractures. Some woodcuts illustrate many and various surgical and dental instruments and there are fullpage depictions of cauterization, amputation, the treannent of wounds from projectiles and trepanation. Illustrations to the chapter on dentistry are on pages 173177, including a woodcut of teeth strengthened with silver threads. The printer has also re-used the woodcut blocks by Johann Wechtlin for Gersdorfs Feidhuch dci Wundarizney, 1517. See Guerini, A History of Dentistry, i oq, pp. 125 et seq. fbi an extended discussion of Abulcasis dentistry and instruments. “The chief influence of Albucasis on the medical system of Europe was that his lucidity and method of presentation awakened a prepossession in favour of Arabic liter attire among the scholars of the West: the methods of Alburasis eclipsed those of Galen and maintained a dominant position in medical Europe for live hundred years Albucasis descriptions of operations are clear and particularly valuable because they portray the figures of surgical instruments used in the Middle Ages ... most of the figures of mediaeval times derived from those of Albucasis and incidentally show no knowledge of perspective” (Campbell, p. 88). First edition of Priscianus Euporzston (a go edition, printed by Froben in Basle in the same year was probably published later). Priscianus was a physician who flourished in the 4th century A.D. The first book deals with external ailments, including chapters on the ear, the nose and teeth; the second is on internal medicine and the third book, the Gynaecia, is one of the earliest monographs on obstetrics and gynaecology (see Ricci, The Genealogy of Gynaecology pp. 148149).
