Title within ornamental woodcut border. Place of publication and printer's name from colophon on leaf b5v. Colophon reads: Argentorati apud Ioannem Knoblouchum iuniorem. xxiiij. Augusti Anno Christi M.D.XXX. Signatures: a⁴ b⁶ (b6 blank). First edition of this polemic in defence of Avicenna, whose achievement the author ranks higher than anything in Western medicine. Probably the final work of the Alsace-born (and possibly Vienna-trained) physician, astrologer and geographer Fries (also known as Frisius or Phryes; d. 1530/32): his literary legacy, in which he "avows himself as an unconditional disciple of Arabism" (cf. NDB). - Slight waterstaining to gutter; one double-leaf loosened; final blank shows tear to edge. Exceedingly rare; no copy in auction records since 1950.

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.

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.
