From the Buxheim Charterhouse Library - an exceedingly rare, coloured, and illustrated medical compendium - 10 full-page woodcuts
With the inscription 'Cartusiae Buxheim' written on the title woodcut (f. 1r), this compendium clearly hails from the Carthusian Charterhouse at Buxheim in Bavaria. This monastery was amongst the largest and wealthiest in Europe, boasting a vast library of over 1000 volumes by the early 16th century. Indeed, the monastery was so important that in 1548, Buxheim was decreed the only German Imperial Charterhouse under the Hapsburgs. Its impressive library was founded in the late 15th century by Hilbrand Brandenburg of Biberach (1442-1514) and added to thereafter until the monastery's secularisation in 1803.
Two popular works, a medical and a pharmaceutical manual, are usefully combined in the present volume. The Fasciculus medicinae is a collection of medical tracts that circulated in manuscript already in the Middle Ages. The first edition of 1491 is considered the first printed medical work to contain anatomic illustrations. Later editions like the book at hand were supplemented by further woodcuts that are more realistic and of remarkable artistic quality. Our copy's woodcuts are enhanced with colouring, making it particularly rare and a special find indeed.
The Lumen apothecariorum adds recipes for the preparation of herbal remedies, essential oils, syrups, pills and ointments. It is augmented with handwritten recipes in Latin and with some 'alchemical' symbols.

Переплёт: Твёрдый Страниц: 528, с иллюстрациями Император Всероссийский Николай I (1796-1855) - одна из ключевых фигур отечественной истории, царь, сделавший для величия и могущества Российской империи не меньше, чем его великие предшественники - Петр I и Екатерина II. Он стал воплощением правителя нового типа и нового - во всех смыслах железного - XIX века. Перед современным читателем развернется весь драматический, но удивительно последовательный державный путь этого незаурядного властителя: от еще не вполне уверенного в себе, но уже…
