About This Item

Basileae:: Ex officina Pernea per Conrad Waldkirch?, 1584., 1584. Three works bound in one vol. 17 cm. Sm. 8vo. [8], 356, [2], [8], 1-134, [2], [2], 1-24, [38] pp. Index. Worm trailing to margins at dedicatory leaves + title neatly closed, heavy early ink marginalia throughout book I (only). Original full calf, raised bands, gilt-stamped compartments, with the initials ?D.L.R.? [=De la Rue] on spine, all edges gilt. Shelf-mark on title (ink). Two ownership signatures ?De la Rue Dr. Med? and [?] Natalis Guillot (1804-1866). Censura de Hippocratis Operibus Worm-trails to margins at dedicatory leaves + title neatly closed, heavy early ink marginalia throughout book I (only), probably written by De la Rue. Second edition. First published in 1583, this is ?one of the first books devoted entirely to pediatrics. The dedication indicates that the book is based on the lecture notes of one of Mercuriale’s students, Jan Hieronim Chrosciejowski (fl. 1583-1612), also known as Johannes Groscesius. The work is divided into three parts: diseases of children, fevers of children, and worms. Although the book is filled with references to Arabian, Greek, and Roman authors, Mercuriale used his own judgment in interpreting their observations instead of slavishly adhering to their opinions as was common with many writers of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.? [Heirs of Hippocrates 357, citing a later edition of 1588]. / Abt-Garrison contains this statement: ?The pediatric treatise, described by [Carl] Hennig as 'an inconsiderable book which long passed as authoritative,? was reprinted twice, the second edition (1584) containing Mercuriali’s translation of Alexander Trallianus on worms [see p. 36, 67, 281, 318, 354, Tractatus [vi], ]. As with Roelants and Austrius, the text of Mercuriali is that of a medieval 'aggregator.? The work is divided into three books, the third being devoted entirely to intestinal worms. The arrangement of chapters is irregular; the longest are those on measles and smallpox, emaciation *de macie), epilepsy, and stammering. Among the new titles included are scrotal hernia (ramex), intertrigo, pernio, putrid fever (febris synochus), disordered speech, mutism, disorders of sensation (de vitiis sensus communis), dyspnea, and scrofula. On the whole, as Hennig intimates, a much-overrated book.? And as such, not on the Garrison and Morton list, but for a history of pediatrics, this work clearly has a part to say in the late 16th century. [Abt-Garrison, p. 64]. CONTENTS [3 books]: [I] De morbis puerorum, item de venenis et morbis venenosis. [1584], book 1: 1-150 pp.; book 2: 151-309; book 3: 310-356; [II] De Venenis et Morbis Venenosis Tractatus . . .
