Show moreThis volume collects several woks on medecine, being the first that of 'Abu Zakariyya' Yuhanna Ibn Masawayh, known as Mesue Yuhanna Ibn Masawayh (C.777-857), one of the great name of Islamic medicine. He was personal physician to the abbasid Caliphs al-Ma'mun, al-Mutasim, al-Wathiq and al-Mutawakkil, and spent most of his life in baghdad and Samarra. He contributed to the translating activities of the famous Bayt al-Hikma; and Hunayn ibn Ishaq, the most influential of the traslators of Greek scientific texts, was his pupil. Despite his distinction, much of Ibn Masawayh's writing has not reached us. Just a handful of his text are extant in Arabic. More has been preserved in Latin Translation, though the attribution of some text to an elder as opposed to a younger Mesue has given the false impression thar there was more than one Ibn Masawayh. It is followed by a well-known work by Francisco de Pedemontium and the Antidotarium of Nicolaus Salernitarum. The last work on medecine is from Abulkasim. Antidotarium Nicolai.

This is the first edition of Hugo da Siena's commentary on Book I, fens 1 and 2, to mention both fens in the title; previous editions had mentioned only fen one though including both, which has led some bibliographers to call this the first edition of the commentary of fen 2. Ugo Benzi, as he is most commonly called, was born in Siena about 1370. He taught medicine in Pavia in 1399, thereafter in Bologna, Padua and Florence, and Padua again in 1430. "In accordance with the Arabist tradition Ugo set the seal of proficiency on his academic career by composing Commentaries on most of the fundamental medical texts studied in the universities. [As well as Hippocrates and Galen] Ugo treated the most important sections of Avicenna's encyclopaedic masterpiece, namely I, 1-2, dealing with the fundamental concepts of medicine and general symptoms of disease" (D.P.

Text in Gothic letters in double columns, some woodcut initials, and spaces with guide letters; washed; recased in its original calf backed wooden boards, four clasps, the thongs renewed. The penultimate incunable edition of what "remained for centuries the standard text-book of pharmacy in the West" (Sarton), with the commentary of Mondino, the great anatomist, and other texts including Abulcasis' Liber servitoris. Mesue "was for centuries the authority on the composition of medicaments. The book was not only in use in practically every European pharmacy but in addition became the basis of the later official pharmacopoeias. The Grabadin [or Antidotarium, contained here] is, as Sudhoff calls it, 'the pharmacological quintessence of Arabian therapeutics' and contains the entire armamentarium of compounded medicines which we owe to the Arabians. The arrangement is like that of the later pharmacopoeias. The compounded medicines are divided into groups according to their forms - confections, juleps, syrups, etc. - the monographs containing directions for the preparation of the respective products and also notes on their medical uses" (Edward Kremers and George Urdang, History of Pharmacy, 1940, p. 21). Much of the basic terminology of pharmacy, words such as julep and syrup, derives from the Arabic. EI, III, pp. 872-73; Sezgin, III, pp. 231-36.

Extremely rare, complete copy with the engraved title page, the errata leaf, and all nine plates.

The rediscovery of Geber for the history of chemistry and alchemy, was introduced by Hermann Kopp in the 19th century.
