Zustand: COME NUOVO. Il De mirabilibus mundi ebbe ampia fortuna nella prima Età Umanistica e durante tutto il Rinascimento, grazie alla circolazione congiunta al Liber de virtutibus herbarum, lapidum et animalium (Liber aggregationis, edito da I. Draelants in questa stessa serie, 22) e all'attribuzione ad Alberto Magno. Di quest'opera si propone qui l'edizione, che restituisce un testo in parte dissimile da quello tramandato dalle stampe antiche in volgarizzamenti, e un'analisi della struttura, della dottrina e delle fonti. La confluenza di numerosi experimenta desunti dal Liber Aneguemis minor, dal Liber ignium e in misura minore dalle Kiranides, e la presenza di dottrine affini a quelle espresse nel Picatrix caratterizzano il testo come qualcosa di assai diverso rispetto a un semplice adattamento latino della magia organica pseudo-platonica o un centone di scritti disordinati. L'anonimo autore elabora una prospettiva teorica sulla natura e sull'uomo non riconducibile esclusivamente a nessuna delle fonti della tradizione greca, siriaca, araba, perché essa è quasi del tutto epurata da elementi dottrinali eterodossi, quali il culto astrolatrico e demoniaco. Il De mirabilibus s'inscrive così nel dibattito medievale sul Quid sit magia, manifestando un esplicito orientamento per la magia astrale e proponendo soluzioni che avranno grande recezione in epoca rinascimentale. cm.14x21, pp.XII,179, Coll.Micrologus' Library, 41.

Very rare Antwerp edition of two works written ca. 1300 by an unidentified follower of Albertus Magnus concerning three treatises, generally known as the Liber aggregationis, concerning the extraordinary properties (magical, astrological, medicinal) of plants and herbs, minerals and gems, and animals, followed by the De mirabilibus mundi on the "wonders of the world". The Liber aggregationis is followed, as in many editions, by the De mirabilibus mundi, here on b4r (with the rubric on b3v). This work on the marvels of the universe covers a variety of topics: astrology, zoology, astronomy, medicine and physiology. Instead of the more experimental character of the first treatise, this work is a more scholastic and philosophical treatise. It discusses for example the validity, causes and principles of magic before starting to list the different "wonders" that show that the mind or human soul can alter its own body or exterior objects, especially at a favourable astrological hour. It also discusses the magic power of human beings and several cures for various diseases. It also includes some recipes that to make magical or optical illusions, such as a recipe for manufacturing marvellous candles, lights and combustibles, a recipe to break a love charm, to see the future while asleep and to catch birds by your hands.Both the Liber aggregationis as the De mirabilibus mundi were very popular. They were first printed (also together) in Ferrara by Severinus Ferrariensis about 1477 (GW 630). The first edition in the Low Countries was published between 1487 and 1490 by the Antwerp printer Mathias van der Goes (GW 654 or 659). The printer of our edition, Govaert Bac, married the widow of Mathias van der Goes and thereby acquired his typographical material. He printed his first edition of this work in 1498. Although most of Bac's books are undated, especially his post-incunables, the present rare edition is dated M.CCCC.II (1502). Despite the many editions printed in the 16th century, the present edition is of the utmost rarity: the USTC records only three copies: Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Hamburg, Universitetsbibliotek Uppsala and Cambridge University Library. We could not trace any further copies.With some contemporary underlinings in the text in brown ink. Head and foot of spine cracked, binding a little worn around the extremities, title and the verso of the last leaf somewhat dust-soiled, upper right corner of the first two leaves frayed (without loss of text) and a small hole in the upper margin of both leaves (not affecting the text). Otherwise in good condition.l Adams A538; Nijhoff & Kronenberg 58 (3 copies); Netherlandish books 422 (same 3 copies); USTC 410548 (same 3 copies); this edition not in ISTC, STCN, STCV, WorldCat; cf. Hunt 4 (1485 Cologne ed.); Thorndike II, pp. 720-750; Wellcome I, 117 (1499 Antwerp ed. by Bac). 19th-century calf with double gold fillets along the edges of both boards, gold-tooled spine with title in gold, gold-tooled turn-ins, marbled endpapers and modern blank endpapers, blue edges.

16mo in 8s, pp. 60, (pp. 61-74, chapter III 'De influentiis planetarum' excised by previous owner), 75 - 390, [9] index [1 (blank)]; title-page a little scuffed and soiled, with dampstain affecting upper corner of first few gatherings, some worming, most prominent at upper gutter ff. 288-313 touching text and with loss of a few letters, with further occasional soiling, spotting and staining throughout, and a few small paper flaws; front endpaper torn with loss; with a number of numerous contemporary ink ownership inscriptions within text, with a few arithmetical notes to endpapers and margins; an unsophisticated and somewhat dog-eared copy in contemporary British calf, spine in compartments with raised bands, with two later(?) paper labels lettered in manuscript, with ruled borders in blind, joints a little rubbed and worn, with some very minor worming to boards, tail of lower margin worn with loss; upper board lettered 'EI' in blind, with later inscriptions of W. Nourse (eighteenth-century?) to upper board and John William Mackie (nineteenth?) to title; despite flaws and appealing copy displaying evidence of censorship. An unsophisticated and somewhat dog-eared copy, in the original binding, of this famous medical and philosophical work, issued only three years after the text had been added to the Index in 1604, for it's associations with magic and superstition, as much as any suggestion of it being immoral or indecent. With this in mind, the present copy is of additional interest to those in early readership, in that a previous owner as self-censored the volume by removing a short section of text on the astrological influence of planets upon the developing foetus, contained in chapter III 'De influentiis planetarum'. One can only speculate as to the precise reason why the previous reader objected to the contents, maybe in response to the remaining scholium at the end of the chapter which casts doubt on its accuracy. 'Though attributed to Albert the Great, this book was actually written by an unknown thirteenth century scholastic who melded a popular interest in the occult with the philosophy of his age. His treatises on the virtues of herbs, stones, and animals (as well as other mediations on the wonders of the human body) delve into the world of mediaeval "magic". The difference, however, is that this author sought a rational explanation for the properties and effects of natural things. It was that very curiositas, however, which eventually caught the censor's eye. For all of its weaknesses, and its popular rather than scholarly value, the book reminded its users that when dealing with nature, scientific proof was more important that any blind trust in incantations or traditions passed on through the ages. In England the book's translators was also its first censor, eliminating all direct references to magic, as well as recipes for aphrodisiacs and contraceptives. The book's association with the world of magic, as well as its practical tips for family planning and the development of sexual prowess ensured that the Latin text would be added to the Index in 1604, with the Italian translation following in 1665' (Item 11, Carefoote, Nihil Obstat, An Exhibition of banned, censored & challenged books in the West 1491-2000). According to Krivatsy, this 1607 is a reissue of that published by Zetzner in 1601. It includes the 'Secretis Mulierum' (A8v-L8v), the 'Liber aggregationis' (K-M7r) and 'De mirabilibus mundi' (M7r-P8r), Zetzner then including Michael Scot's work on physiognomy and generation 'De secretis naturae', the two works often bound together. Despite its inclusion on the Index, 'De Secretis Mulierum' was to prove exceedingly popular, if always somewhat controversial, going through numerous editions and iterations well into the early modern period. In addition to the excision of the short chapter, the present copy displays a number of signs of use and readership, possibly by Welsh owners: the initials of Evan John are fo.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. [IN C13 VELLUM MS. LEAF] Small 4to. 24 unnumbered ll., A 8 B 4 C 8 D 4 . Gothic letter. Two woodcut panels to t-p, handsome, large woodcut printer's device to verso and verso of last. T-p a little dusty, light marginal foxing or occasional slight water stain, minor marginal repair to B 4 , couple of early marginalia. A very good, well-margined copy in a C13 ms. leaf on vellum (double column, initials and line headings rubricated in red and blue), modern eps, lightly oilstained on lower cover. Handsomely bound in a C13 ms. leaf, on vellum, with Chapter XXIII of St Matthew's Gospel. A very good, well-margined copy of this very rare edition of one of the most influential medieval 'books of secrets'. Albertus Magnus (1200-80) was a German friar, later canonised, responsible for the establishment of the curriculum studiorum of the Dominicans, including the study of Aristotle. He was also conversant in the natural sciences, philosophy and astrology. After his death, several works on the secrets of nature were attributed to him. The 'Liber aggregationis' first reached the press in 1477 after centuries of successful ms. circulation. Its three main works are short handbooks on the natural, medical and occult properties of herbs, stones and animals: i.e., ways of preparing and administering herbs to treat abscesses or chest infections, the use of stones to create a perpetual fire or chase away visions ('phantasmata'), or the ways in which parts of animals could produce beneficial effects (e.g., wearing a hoopoe's eyes on one's chest could pacify friends, keeping its head in one's purse would make one immune to merchants' frauds). The fourth work, 'De mirabilibus mundi', is concerned with the beneficial exploitation of the wondrous properties of nature to solve everyday problems, from preventing pregnancies by making women drink ram's urine or hare's blood to ways of capturing molesthis last of interest to the early annotator of this copy. The last work, 'Regimen sanitates contra pestilenciam siue epidimiam', was attributed to the bishop and physician Ranutio; it provides useful suggestions, according to the months and zodiac, to keep a healthy life and avoid epidemics, e.g., avoiding blood-letting in August and, for Pisces, avoiding gout treatment when the moon meets their sign.

Blind-tooled pigskin (Freiburg or vicinity?, ca. 1570?) over tapered wooden boards, sewn on 3 double supports, laced into the boards, each board with fields edged by multiple fillets, the outer field containing a frame made from a large roll with allegorical female figures representing the four theological virtues (204 x 16 mm: "Fides", "Ivsticia", "Caritas", "Spes"), central field containing 3 fleurs-de-lis, the 2 fields to its left and right each containing 2 rosettes and a vine leaf and those above and below each containing 1 vine leaf (these 4 fields separated by diagonals at the corners). On the lower board each of the 2 remaining fields (between these last 2 and the outer frame) contains a rosette and 2 vine leaves, while on the front board the lower one is blank and the upper one contains the owner's initials "AW". The 4 spine compartments have what appear to be larger fleurs-de-lis and perhaps also larger rosettes, but they are difficult to make out. With 2 engraved brass fastenings (catch-plate, clasp on a short pigskin strap and anchor-plate). 19th-century paper spine label. Four editions printed and published in Freiburg and nearby Strasbourg from 1528 to 1531, containing six works of medical and pharmacological interest, all in the original Latin: the first edition of two Byzantine pharmacological works; the first edition of a Renaissance pharmacological work; an 11th-century verse description of nearly a hundred herbal medicines, here in the second edition to include the additions and commentaries of 1527; and the third and best edition of the first lapidary, written around 1100, discussing precious stones, especially the magical and therapeutic properties of gems. - (1): First edition of two pharmacological works by the Byzantine physician Paulus of Aegina (ca. 625-ca. 690). The first, Pharmaca simplicia, prepared for publication by the great German pioneer of scientific botany Otto Brunfels (1488?-1534), provides brief accounts of the properties and uses of about 750 pharmacological simples, the basic ingredients for preparing medicines, listed mostly in alphabetical order. The second, De ratione victus, prepared by Wilhelm Kopp (ca. 1461-1532) from Basel, who moved to Paris in 1512 and became personal physician to King Louis XII, describes about 100 medicines, including mushrooms. - (2): First edition of a posthumous pharmacological encyclopaedia by the humanist professor Giorgio Valla (1447-1500) at Venice. It contains brief instructions on the use of hundreds of herbal and other medicines, arranged alphabetically. - (3): A didactic poem in Latin hexameters explaining the therapeutic value of (originally) 77 kinds of herbs, now usually attributed to the French medieval physician, Odo of Meung in the last quarter of the 11th century, but formerly to Aemilius Macer (70-16 BC) and therefore sometimes called the Macer Floridus. It was a major influence on the Salerno Regimen sanitatis and through it on the Nicolai Antidotarium, making it a central work in the evolution of European medicine. Although first published at Naples in 1477, the present publisher's 1527 Basel edition first combined it with the shorter and more botanical and horticultural poem by Walafrid Strabo (ca. 808-849), first published under the title Hortulus at Vienna in 1510, both with important new commentaries and additions by Johannes Atrocianus (ca. 1495?-ca. 1543?), giving nearly a hundred kinds of medicinal herbs. The present edition is the second to include this additional material. Strabo's poem discusses his own garden and his tending of it, describing the herbs he grows and their medicinal uses. - (4): Third and best edition (the second separate edition) of the first lapidary, written in verse around 1100 by Marbod of Anjou, Bishop of Rennes. It gives a detailed account of a wide variety of precious stones, especially the magical powers and therapeutic properties of gems. It was first published at Vienna in 1511 and was included in a collection of the author's works, Liber Marbodi, at Rennes in 1524, but the present edition was carefully edited.

First edition of a collection of four medical works, compiled by the Swiss physician Albanus Torinus (1489-1550). The main part of the work consists of De re medica, also known as Medicina Pliniana, a very popular medical text during the Middle Ages. Compiled in the fourth century by an anonymous author, it is generally ascribed to Plinius Valerianus, also called pseudo-Plinius, since it mainly derived from Pliny the Elder's Historia naturalis. Consisting of five books, it gives various medicines and treatments for different diseases, ailments, wounds, tumours etc. Besides Pliny the Elder, the work is heavily based on the works of Galen and Dioscorides, all highly esteemed in the Arabic world.The work also contains three other medical works from different authors. "The contents are all either spurious works or later compilations from genuine works of the authors to whom they are attributed" (Durling). It starts with an introduction to "the art of healing", ascribed to Soranus of Ephesus. The second text is by Oribasius, a Greek medical writer from the fourth century BC. According to Durling, the text is an extract from the first chapter of his Euporista ad Eunapium. The work closes with a botanical text, De virtutibus herbarum, ascribed to Lucius Apuleius Madaurensis, but written by an anonymous author from the fourth century, known as Pseudo-Apuleius. In one of the manuscripts Torinus used, the text was ascribed to the famous Italian physician Antonio Musa Brassavola (1500-1555), an expert on the works of Galen and heavily influenced by his work.The editor of the work, Torinus, was appointed professor of practical medicine at the University of Basel after receiving the degree of doctor in medicine in Montpellier. He translated many Greek texts into Latin, or Latin works into the vernacular, including Vesalius's De humani corporis fabrica.From the library of the Russian tsars, with its letterpress library label with shelf number on paste-down and the coat of arms on the spine. With the place and date of printing added in manuscript on the title-page. Paper on boards slightly chafed, binding with traces of use along the extremities, corners bumped and spine restored. First five leaves with a minor water stain, but otherwise a very good copy.l Adams S1461; Durling 4351; Parkinson 2410. 18th-century half calf, with marbled paper in a tree pattern on sides, gold-tooled spine with the coat of arms of the Russian Tsars.

Wertvolles Sammelwerk zur Geschichte der Embryologie und Gynäkologie in einem vollständigen Exemplar (bei Vergleichsex. sind die Tafeln meist nicht vollständig vorhanden). - Pinaeus wurde Mitte des 16. Jh. geboren. Durch die Heirat in die Lithotomistenfamilie Collot wurde er in die Geheimnisse des Steinschnittes eingeweiht und demonstrierte diesen auf königl. Befehl zahlr. Studenten, was auf Grund des bis dahin streng gehüteten Geheimnisse der Collot undenkbar gewesen wäre. Vorliegendes Werk über die anatomischen Kennzeichen der unverletzlichen Jungfräulichkeit veröffentlichte er erstmals 1597. Obwohl zahlr. Auflagen erschienen, ist es dennoch selten, da es immer wieder behördlich verboten wurde. P. bezeichnete das Hymen als den wesentlichen Teil des weiblichen Körpers. Im zweiten Teil des Werkes untersuchte er Schwangerschaft und Geburt und eventuelle Veränderungen des Beckens. "Erörtert, meines Wissens als der Erste, die geburtshülfliche Bedeutung der anatomischen Beschaffenheit des Kinderschädels bezüglich der Möglichkeit einer Konfiguration" (Fasbender 109). - Bonaciolus, der Arzt der berüchtigten Lukretia Borgia war, schrieb dieses Buch hauptsächlich auf Grund von griech. und arabischen Quellen. Bedeutung erlangte es vor allem dadurch, daß er es seiner berühmten Patientin Lukretia widmete. Unter den beigedruckten Werken ist vor allem die Schrift von Pierre Gassendi von großer Bedeutung. "G. demonstrated the vestigial foramen ovale in the adult heart, settling the question of the perviousness of the septum of the heart. His work was first published on one volume with that of three others, the first being by Pinaeus" (Garrison/Morton 802, Ausg. 1639). - Erste Bll. etw. fleckig, Bl. A3 im Innensteg mit kl. zeitgen. Papieransatz (wenige Buchst. betroffen). II. Die Albertus Magnus zugeschriebene Schrift erfreute sich großer Beliebtheit und wurde in zahlr. Auflagen bis ins XVIII. Jhdt. immer wieder gedruckt. Die Schrift ist von großer Bedeutung für die Geschichte der Gynäkologie, da sie verschiedene, hier zum ersten Mal auftretende Gesichtspunkte enthält. So im Kapitel "De generatione embryonis", in dem Albertus eine Konzeptionstheorie im Gegensatz zu Aristoteles aufstellt, in einer neuen Theorie der Ernährung des Foetus u. a. Nach einer Anleitung zur Geburtshilfe behandeln andere Kapitel den Einfluß der Himmelskörper auf die Frucht, die Foetuslagen mit ihren Indikationen, Mißgeburten, Sterilität, etc. - Enthält ferner ab Seite 220 "De secretis naturae" von Michael Scotus. "No tracts used to be more popular than those of Albertus Magnus and Michael Scotus" (Ferguson I, 15). "In Schottland ist das Andenken von 'Auld Michael', dem Zauberer, noch heute lebendig. Scotus referierte jedoch lediglich über die seiner Zeit bekannten mag. Künste (Beschwörungen), ohne daß sich seine aktive Betätigung auf diesem Gebiet nachweisen ließe." (Biedermann, Handlex. der magischen Künste, 448). - Ferguson, Bibliogr. notes III, 27. Wellcome II, 24. Vgl. Sinkankas, Gemmology, 57 (Ausg. 1643). Krivatsy verz. nur andere Ausgaben.

Ad 1: First edition of an ancient compendium of pharmacological preparations by the Gallo-Roman physician Marcellus Empiricus, originally composed ca. 410 AD. "An extraordinary mixture of traditional knowledge, popular (Celtic) medicine, and rank superstition. Interesting also for the historian of botany, because of the great number of plants mentioned" (Sarton). Marcellus was born in Bordeaux and magister officiorum under Theodosius I (379-395).Ad 2: First edition of a collection of four medical works, compiled by the Swiss physician Albanus Torinus (1489-1550). The main part of the work consists of De re medica, also known as Medicina Pliniana, a very popular medical text during the Middle Ages. Compiled in the fourth century by an anonymous author, it is generally ascribed to Plinius Valerianus, also called pseudo-Plinius, since it mainly derived from Pliny the Elder's Historia naturalis. The work also contains three other medical works from different authors. "The contents are all either spurious works or later compilations from genuine works of the authors to whom they are attributed" (Durling). It starts with an introduction to "the art of healing", ascribed to Soranus of Ephesus. The second text is by Oribasius, a Greek medical writer from the fourth century BC. The work closes with a botanical text, De virtutibus herbarum, ascribed to Lucius Apuleius Madaurensis, but written by an anonymous author from the fourth century, known as Pseudo-Apuleius.With many sentences marked in pencil in the fore-edge margins. The Marcellus Empiricus was originally published together with a work by Galen, here replaced by Thorer's De re medica, lacking the first 12 leaves (title-page and preliminaries).

Verginelli 22, for an incomplete copy of Balduinus.Later edition of ?De secretis mulierum? (On the secrets of women), an immensly popular work which was published many times during the 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries, sometimes separately and sometimes in compilations such as this, which also contains ?Liber aggregationis? and ?De mirabilibus mundi? as well as ?De secretis naturae? by Michael Scotus. The works attributed to Albertus Magnus were not written by him, but by followers who drew (sometimes faultily) from his work. Suggested authors have been Thomas of Brabant and Henry of Saxony, but they have since been ruled out.Balduinus book is an enlarged version of a tract (Aurum Aurae) originally published in 1673. This edition (including the appendix on the unpaginated thirteen pages at the end, with separate title: ?Phosphorus Hermeticus sive magnes luminaris?.) was also published by Georg Heinrich Fromann in Frankfurt and Leipzig the same year.Balduinus (Christian Adolf Baldewein, 1632-82) was a magistrate in Großenhain in Sachsen. He was a dedicated alchemist and convinced that the ?prime matter? from which the Philosopher?s stone was made was volatile and could only be found in the air. It was when experimenting with this process that he chanced upon the phosphorous substance that came to bear his name (Balduins phosphorous, actually Calcium nitrate). It is this ?light magnet? that is described in the ?Phosphorus Hermeticus? The main work "deals with the extraction of gold from the air by universal magnetism" (Thorndike VIII, p.381). Also contains a celebratory poem ?Madrigal? by Johann Engelhart. Hardcover / Hardback.
