Augsburg: Printed at the expense of Sigismund Grimm and Marcus Wirsung, 24 March 1519. 2 o (308 x 208 mm). Collation: s6; a-z 6 Aa-Bb 6 Cc 1 0. 166 leaves (duplicates of g2.5 and g3.4 accidentally and no doubt originally substituted for h2.5 and h3.4). Roman type. Printed shoulder notes. Title page printed in red and black. Woodcut title-page vignette signed "H.B.", i.e. HANS BURGKMAIR (1473-ca. 1551). Publishers' woodcut device on last leaf, ornamental woodcut initials. (Intermittent unobtrusive dampstains to margins, several small wormholes in first and last leaves touching up to 4-5 letters on some pages, closed tear in title page touching one letter of title.) Contemporary German blind-tooled calf spine over bare wooden boards (rebacked, lacking back pastedown and clasps); modern morocco-backed cloth box. Provenance : author's name lettered on fore-edge; shelfmark "O.VIII.6" lettered on pastedown; Alexander Mayr M.D., 1608 (inscription on title page); Theodor Freiherr von Cramer-Klett in Hohen-Aschau (armorial bookplate). FIRST EDITION. Abulcasis, the greatest physician of Moorish Spain after Avicenna, composed a medical enclyclopedia, al-Tasrif , in thirty books, the parts of which were translated into Latin in the thirteenth century by Gerard of Cremona, Arnald of Villanova and others. The surgical portion of this work, which was greatly influential in the later Middle Ages was printed in 1497, while the pharmaceutical portion (bk. 28) had already appeared in 1471 in a Latin translation by Abraham Tortuosiensis from a Hebrew version, both at Venice. The present work is the section on general medicine, corresponding to the first two books of the encyclopedia. It presents Abulcasis' general theory of medicine, and treats particular diseases. His description of hemophilia (f. 145) is probably the first. Garrison-Morton 3048; NLM/Durling 21; Stillwell Science 257; Norman 2279.
