Title: Operum in sex tomos divisorum
Author: [17TH-CENTURY MEDICINE] -- SENNERT, Daniel (1572-1637) – HUGUETAN, Jean Antoine, printer
Seller: Sanctuary Books (United States)
Condition: Very Good
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

Condition: Near fine
Description: London: William Jackson (Books) Ltd (Books 1-4) [and] Joiner & Steele, Ltd. (Books 5-12) [Printed at the Chiswick Press], 1932. Hardcover. Near fine. Garnett, R.A.; Austen, John; Gibbings, Robert; Papé, Frank C.; Odle, Alan; Garwood, Tirzah; Hilder, Rowland; Kermode, William; Grant, Duncan; Moon, P.V.; Leighton, Clare; Wolfe, Edward. Each volume one of 550 copies, quarto size, approx. 650 total pages, each volume signed by the author. The "Furnival Books" were a series of shorter works from young authors, some of whom would go on to be considered the best of their day. The brainchild of bookseller and publisher A. W. Steele, he published these limited edition copies under two imprints, but the entire series of twelve books were all printed by the Chiswick Press between 1930 and 1932. One of the great bonuses of this series are the frontispiece illustrations, several by some of my own favourite artists: John Austen, Robert Gibbings, Frank Papé, and Clare Leighton. Particulars on the twelve books are as follows: (1) Powys, T.F.; Warner, Sylvia Townsend (Foreword); Garnett, R.A. (Woodcut), "The Key of the Field", 1930, no. 12, 39 pp.; (2) Bates, H.E.; Garnett, Edward (Foreword); Austen, John (Line Engraving), "The Hessian Prisoner:, 1930, no. 477, 42 pp.; (3) Coppard, A.E.; Gibbings, Robert (Woodcut), "The Man From Kilsheelan", 1930, no. 180, 38 pp.; (4) Davies, Rhys; O'Flaherty, Liam (Foreword); Papé, Frank C. (Illustration), "The Stars, The World, and The Women",1930, no. 135, 53 pp.; (5) Hanley, James; Aldington, Richard (Foreword); Odle, Alan (Frontispiece), "The Last Voyage", 1931, no. 232, 73 pp.; (6) Strong, L.A.G.; Coppard, A.E. (Foreword); Garwood, Tirzah (Frontispiece), "The Big Man", 1931, no. 267, 45 pp.; (7) Manhood, H.A.; Williamson, Henry (Foreword); Hilder, Rowland (Frontispiece), "Little Peter the Great", 1931, no. 368, 95 pp.; (8) Warner, Sylvia Townsend; Powys, T.F.

(Frontis), "The Wild Swan" (also containing "It Was the Devil's Work" and "Unclean"), 1932, no. 121, 60 pp.; (11) Benson, Stella; West, Geoffrey (Foreword); Leighton, Clare (Frontis), "Christmas Formula" (also containing "Tchotl" and "A Dream"), 1932, no. 419, 67 pp.; [and] (12) Collier, John; Sitwell, Osbert (Foreword); Wolfe, Edward (Frontis), "Green Thoughts", 1932, no. 45, 56 pp. ___DESCRIPTION: The volumes all of a uniform design, with each bound in a different colour of cloth, each with the title in gilt on both the front board and the spine, the author in gilt towards the bottom of the front board, year of publication in gilt at the tail of the spine, top edges gilt, the limitation pages found before the half-titles each signed by the author, each volume with a frontispiece by different artists; binding quarto size (10 1/8" by 6 3/8"), pagination as set forth above. ___CONDITION: The set near fine overall, the boards on most volumes clean (vol. 2 with a thin line on the back board which appears to be some sort of residue, vol. 9 with small spot of soil on the front board, and vol. 12 with what appears to be offsetting from the glue), the corners on most volumes straight and unrubbed but a few volumes lightly bumped and with minimal rubbing, strong, square text blocks with solid hinges, the interiors clean and bright, and the set entirely free of prior owner markings; several volumes with sunning to the boards and most volumes with the spines sunned. Still overall a lovely set, a few condition issues to the bindings, the interiors fine, we noted several signatures unopened. ___POSTAGE: Please note that the combined size and weight of this set will necessitate additional postage, please inquire for details; International customers, also please note that any taxes, duty, or tariffs charged by your country will, of necessity, be your responsibility. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA, ILAB, and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.

Seller: Langdon Manor Books LLC (United States)
Condition: Very good
Description: N.p.: N.p., 1908. Very good. 15 3/8" x 41¾". Printed on a coated, waxlike paper. Very good : a couple of tiny separations at intersections, small closed tear at another, 2" vertical separation at far upper left, a couple of small edge chips, some scattered pinpoints of soiling. A scarce map of San Francisco's waterfront, its southernmost edge shows a portion of Yuba Street and the far Northwest is a portion of Lewis Street. It also denotes the square footage of 27 labeled seawall lots. The map may have been created to assist its maker in evaluating a number of plans for building up the waterfront, as an application the Embarcadero waterfront entered into the National Register of Historic Places shows his regular involvement in those plans from 1908 onward. We locate only a digital copy at Berkeley.

Description: 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."
