Antica firma di appartenenza del noto medico romano Gennaro Giannelli al frontespizio. Frontespizio in rosso e nero. Bell'incisione al frontespizio delineata da Goereé e inciso da Sluyter. Num…erose iniziali xilografiche. Tagli gialli. Seconda edizione dopo la prima del 1601 di questa opera classica del grande medico, botanico e scienziato Prospero Alpino (1553 - 1617) originario di Marostica in provincia di Vicenza. Le opere e l'attività dell'Alpino riguardarono sia la botanica che la medicina e lo resero celebre in tutta Europa tanto che Albrecht von Haller lo definì medicus et botanicus celeberrimus. L'opera qui presentata è la più celebre fra le opere mediche di Alpini ed è dedicata alla prognosi medica. Pubblicato per la prima volta a Francoforte nel 1601. L'opera, curiosamente rimase poi non più edita in forma singola fino a questa edizione del 1710. La riedizione ebbe un enorme successo tanto che poi numerose furono le ristampe settecentesche. Alpino classifica qui i fenomeni "morbosi" in genere e discute le varie modalità di prognosi. Il libro è citato da Weinberger per i suoi riferimenti all'odontoiatria. Alpini è considerato come uno dei principali ornamenti della scuola padovana. Uomo di grande cultura cercò una sintesi fra l'opera di Galeno e quella d'Ippocrate, anche se il "praesagienda" è considerato un'opera di medicina classica che prende ispirazione dalla medicina di Ippocrate. Alpino fu tra i primi a porre l'accento sugli aspetti sociali e mentali dei pazienti analizzando la diversa presenza delle malattie nei diversi strati sociali e studiando patologie non direttamente riconducibili ad aspetti fisici come l'ipocondria e altri disturbi psichici. Questa edizione è poco comune, 4 soli esemplari censiti in ICCU. Prime quattro carte uniformemente brunite ma nel complesso esemplare in ottime condizioni di conservazione.

DSB I 125.

A comprehensive study of prognostics, Alpini placed special emphasis on the patient's mental well being and its relationship to health and included the usual physical and diagnostic signs. In addition to its appearance at Venice, the book was also published the same year at Frankfurt by Jonas Rhodius. Garrison-Morton 2194; Osler 1801 (1735 ed.); Waller 371 (1733 ed.).
