Title: Emblemata
Author: MACCIO, Paolo (1576-1638)
Seller: Govi Rare Books LLC (United States)
Condition: Very Good+
Description: OUTSTANDING PROVENANCE 4to (203x140 mm); 18th-century full calf, panels within a triple fillet in gilt, spine with five raised bands and gilt title on morocco label, marbled endleaves, gilt edges (joints and top of the spine partially restored); 331, (5) pp. With frontispiece, portrait of the Madonna di San Luca and 81 full-page emblems, all engraved by Giovanni Battista Coriolano (1595-1649), Oliviero Gatti (1598-1646) and Agostino Parisini (fl. 1625-1636) after drawings by Florio Macchi and Giovanni Battista Coriolano. Provenance: Jean-Baptiste Colbert (1619-1683), minister of finances of France under King Louis XIV, also renown for his celebrated library which was sold at Paris in 1728 (his ownership's inscription on the title-page); Richard Heber (1773-1833), English book-collector and founder of the Roxburghe Club of bibliophiles, whose library of 105,000 volumes was sold by auction at London in 1835 (his stamp on the front flyleaf); Beckford Library (pencil note on the front flyleaf, dated Dec. 20, 1882). Small repair to the lower margin of pp. 121/122 not affecting the text, otherwise a very good, fresh copy. FIRST EDITION of this lively and richly illustrated emblem book, which often offers an interesting iconography on contemporary life in Bologna. Giovanni Battista Coriolano and Oliviero Gatti, pupils of G.L. Valesio, are responsible for the majority of the illustrations. The engraved title and 26 of the emblems were engraved by Coriolano. The dedicatory plate and 52 of the emblems are the work of Gatti. The remaining plates were engraved by Agostino Parisini after Florio Maccio, a pupil of Lodovico Carracci. Paolo Maccio (o Macchi o Mazzi), born in Modena, studied in Bologna, where he was later appointed professor in the local university. He published several orations and occasional texts related to academic life (cf. G. Tiraboschi, Biblioteca modenese, Modena, 1783-'86, III, pp. 103-104 AND VI, p. 131; see also S. Mazzetti, Repertorio di tutti i professori dell'Università e dell'Istituto delle Scienze di Bologna, Bologna, 1848, p. 207). J.

Title: Tractatus de febrium natura & differentiis.... 82pp. manuscript. With Brevis chirurgiae synopsis manuscript 81pp
Author: Astruc, Jean
Seller: Jeremy Norman & Co., Inc. (United States)
Description: 1720. Astruc, Jean (1684-1766). Tractatus de febrium natura & differentiis. Authore D. D. J. Astruc in alma Monspelliensiu[m] medicinae facultate professore regio dignissimo. Manuscript document. 4to. 76pp. N.p., 1720. Together with another medical ms. in the same hand (Brevis chirurgiae exegesis. Seu synopsis, per summaria capita . . .), 81pp. The two mss. contained in a single volume, 222 x 167 mm. Modern quarter morocco, marbled boards, slightly rubbed. Portion of ms. title cut away, otherwise fine. A transcription of Astruc's lectures on fevers delivered at Montpellier, where Astruc served as professor of medicine from 1716 to 1728. Astruc, who later joined the Faculty of Medicine in Paris, was a highly skilled and influential teacher. During the 18th century it was common practice for medical lectures such as these to be transcribed and for a small number of manuscript copies to be sold to students who might not have been able to attend. Astruc was: "extremely methodical and clear in his instruction. In a series of courses lasting six years he [covered all phases of medicine: anatomy, physiology, psychology, gerontology, pathology, therapy, venereology, gynecology, neurology and pediatrics. Even in American libraries there are manuscript copies of these carefully prepared and highly appreciated courses; during Astruc's lifetime some of them were used for editions printed without his knowledge in England, Switzerland and Holland" (Dictionary of Scientific Biography). An unauthorized edition of Astruc's lectures on fevers was published in England in 1749 under the title Academical Lectures on Fevers; it is likely that the present lectures are incorporated in this work. We have not found any French or Latin editions of this title in the library databases, and it is quite possible that this work remains unpublished in this form. Astruc was the author of several important medical works, most of which were first published in Latin. The best known of these is his De morbis veneris (1736 and later eds.), the first great work on venereal disease (see Garrison-Morton 5195). The surgical manuscript following Astruc's work is a brief exegesis of surgical operations arranged by chapter headings. Its authorship is unknown. .
