(MESUE the younder), MANLIIS DE BOSCO, Joannes Jacobus de. Luminare maius super Mesue. Venice, Albertinus de Lissona, 22 August 1504. Folio, 74 leaves, printed in gothic letters in double columns, with one large woodcut initial; fairly extensive contemporary marginalia. [bound with:] SILVATICUS, Matteo. Liber pandectarum medicinae [with the Synonyma medicinae of Simon of Genoa. Edited by Georgius de Ferrariis]. Venice, Bonetus Locatellus for Octaviano Scoto, 11 March 1498. Folio, 182 leaves, printed in gothic letters in double columns, one large woodcut initial and a smaller one for each letter of the alphabet in the second, woodcut printer's device on Registrum leaf, some marginalia in a Humanist script, index tabs on fore-edges. Together two works in one vol., attractive copies on contemporary blind stamped pigskin backed oak boards, two clasps, one defective, later endpapers. I. Based on Mesue, Giacomo Manlio's (Latinized Manliis) Luminare Maius was one of the first published pharmacopoeias (first edition, Pavia, 1494). It became the standard work and reprinted as late as 1566, enjoyed an official status in many parts of Europe. II. This is the ninth, and penultimate, incunable edition of Silvaticus' pandectum (first, Naples, 1474): it is the first to include the Synonyma of Simon of Genoa. Manliis's work was probably inspired by Simon's, the first attempt, at the end of the thirteenth century, to bring order into the chaos of pharmacological nomenclature which mingled several tongues: Latin, Greek, Arabic, Syriac, Hebrew. "Silvaticus, a Mantuan physician, lived during the fourteenth century and prepared this dictionary which first appeared in printed form in the early 1470s. Arranged in alphabetical order, his dictionary is mainly in treatise on Arabic drugs" (Heirs of Hippocrates). I. This edition not in NUC. H.
