Show morePhotographs show two young water carriers and one blind beggar. Both these subjects were very common in Orientalism painting. Alexandre Brignoli was an Italian professional photographer active in Cairo between 1860 and 1870. His studio was based at the Hôtel du Commerce and his production almost exclusively consists of Orientalist portraits. His work seemed to be more aimed at artists than almost any other commercial work in the Middle East and North Africa.

Show moreIano Matthaeo Durastante, medico, ac philosopho; Sanctoiustano; oculatissimo, ac diligentissimo; censore. (AVICENNA). MONTE, Giovanni Battista da, commentator. 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. Signatures: *-2*⁸ A-2S⁸ (2S7-8 blank). Includes index. Woodcut initials. Main Heritage Shelves General R128.3 .M66 1557 Book Item-ID: i10106674 BIB-ID: 1012303 Show less
