Aldine Press – Medici Antiqui Omnes . Venice: heirs of Aldus Manutius 1547. The first edition of this collection of Aldine medical literature, including a section on women’s health. The heirs of Aldus printed the medical writings of Galen in 1525, Hippocrates in 1526, and this survey of mostly ancient authors on various medical topics in 1547. The volume comprises short works by Pliny, Apuleius, Celsus, Strabus Gallus, and several others, giving particular insight into the application of herbal remedies such as cannabis to disease and injury. Most interesting, however, is a selection from the Trotula , the medieval compendium of women’s medicine. Adams M-991; Renouard Alde 140:2 Folio (300 x 200mm). Aldine device on title page (soiling to lower margin, marginal repair on title, a few neat repairs throughout, affecting text in two instances, last leaf with repaired excision). 19th-century calf-backed boards, manuscript title along lower edges (spine and extremities rubbed, spine label obscured). Provenance : Giovanni Battista Selvatico (1550-1621, Milanese physician and medical historian also known as Joannes Baptista Silvaticus; inscription on title) – 19th-century oval stamp on cover.
