Description
Lyons: Sumptibus Joannis Antonii Huguetan, [1676]. Hardcover. Very Good. 6 vols. in 3, folio (350 x 220mm,). Vol. 1: [38], 306pp., [6], 309-808pp., [32]; Vol. 2: [16], 363pp., [5], 363-786pp., [18]; Vol. 3: [12], 696pp., [12]. Titles in red and black. Woodcut printer’s device of Huguetan showing Ptolemy (left) and Euclid (right) either side of an astronomical device known as an armillary sphere. The text is in Latin, with the central motto translating as “the universality of things is like dust in the hand of God.” The IAH monogram at bottom is for the 17th century French printer Jean-Antoine Huguetan. Complete with the portrait and half-title (Vol. 1), and numerous woodcut initials, head- and tail- pieces. Contemporary vellum (rebacked, some browning throughout, marginal worming, lightly worn). Contemporary ownership inscription by doctor above pictorial wood-engraved ex-libris by Leo Wyatt for Lord Norwich on front endpaper (in all volumes). Two contemporary Latin manuscripts laid in after p. 408, one two pages, signed by ‘joannes cont’ on hypochondriacs the other concerning a cure. Sennert’s complete works, three volumes in six parts, printed by Huguetan. Sennert was an influential German professor notable for his contributions to medicine and atomic theory. Daniel Sennert, born in Breslau, was a student and the professor of medicine at the University of Wittenberg, the intellectual center of Lutheranism. He was a renowned physician and an extremely prolific and influential writer whose popularity in his time is clear from the many editions of his works, many of which were translated into English. These are Sennert’s complete works, in six parts, each with a separate dated title page printed in red and black. His Opera was first published in Paris in 1641 and this edition expanded, “... with the omission of Tabulae institutionum, and the addition of Vita Danielis Sennerti, Judicia virorum clarissimorum, Methodus discendi medicinam, De curatione infantium, De arthritide, Tragopodagra Luciani (in Greek and Latin), Exoterica, Epitome librorum de febribus, Epistolarum medicinalium una cum responsorii D. Michaelis Doringei centuriae duae. The Epitome is reprinted from the Epitome edited by Claude Bonnet”-- Krivatsy. This edition is regarded as the best. Among Sennert’s many achievements, he was the first to introduce chemistry as a subject of the medical curriculum and to make a serious effort to harmonize the Galenic doctrines of medicine with those of Paracelsus. “Besides giving early accounts of scarlatina and rubella, Sennert added to the knowledge of scurvy, dysentery, and alcoholism. He was an able clinician but a believer in witchcraft...”-- Garrison-Morton 61. Scarcely found on the market, these volumes are a complete set of Sennert’s studies and 17th century medicine. Sennert was known to apply astrology to medicine and the supernatural origins of disease. NLM/Krivatsy 109

London: Methuen & Co. Ltd., 1970. First edition, second printing. EMINENT NOBEL LAUREATE EXPLAINS HOW SCIENCE IS DONE--INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR. 13x21 cm hardcover, blue cloth binding, gilt title to spine, inscribed by author on front free endpaper, "For Harriett most admiringly from Peter, in gratitude for Literates (?) and as a souvenir of a very injoyable weekend. October 1973", i-vii, [1], 62. Very good in price-clipped very good jacket in protective mylar sleeve. SIR PETER MEDAWAR (1915 - 1987) was a British zoologist whose work on graft rejection and the discovery of acquired immune tolerance was fundamental to the practice of tissue and organ transplants. He was awarded the 1960 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Sir Frank MacFarlane Burnet. FROM AUTHOR'S PREFACE: "These Lectures began in my mind in the form of a question: why are most scientists completely indifferent to-even contemptuous of-scientific methodology? Put generally, the answer could only be "because what passes for scientists do or ought to do." I therefore thought it important to explain what is wrong with the traditional methodology of "inductive" reasoning, as I see it, and to show that the alternative scheme of reasoning associated with the names of Whewell and Peirce and Popper can give the scientist a certain limited but useful insight into the way he thinks."

Collector's Edition Keepsake for volume 4 of the Kingdom of the West series, 'Army of Israel: Mormon Battalion Narratives.' The Kingdom in the West Series, subtitled 'The Mormons and the American Frontier', is an award-winning series begun in 1997 that explored the story of the Latter-day Saints and their part in the greater history of the Western Frontier. The history of the Mormons in the American West is so sweeping it is easy to ignore episodes that, for one reason or another, found no place in the traditional annals of the region. This series explored the story of the Mormon people and their part in the greater history of the Western Frontier. Primary source documents, many of them previously unpublished, comprise this series' core Will Bagley (1950-2021) wrote and edited more than twenty books on overland emigration, frontier violence, railroads, mining, and the Mormons. He lectured widely and had appeared in more than a dozen films, including the American Experience episode of the 'The Mormons' on PBS. He was one of the finest historians of the postwar period and a legend.
