AVICENNA [Abu 'Ali al-Husayn ibn 'Abdallah ibn Sina] (980-1037). Liber canonis, de medicinis cordialibus, et cantica . - Libellus de removendis nocumentis quae accidunt in regimine sanitatis . - Tractatus de syrupo acetoso . Translated from Arabic into Latin by Gerard of Cremona (ca. 1114-87), Arnald of Villanova (ca. 1240-1311), Armengaud Blasius, and Andreas Alpago (fl. early 16th century), edited by Alpago and Benedetto Rinio (1485-1565). Basel: Johann Herwagen, 1556. 2 o (358 x 240mm). 594 leaves. Cantica in 2 columns, indexes in 3 or 5 columns. Roman and italic types. Printed shoulder notes in inner margins. Woodcut title-page vignette, woodcut illustrations, ornamental woodcut initials. Ruled in brown ink. (Waterstains at tail of gutter and in inner margins of first and last quires, printing flaw on Hhh6r from creased paper, I5 with tmoin from upper corner folded during binding, occasional underlining.) 18th century mottled calf, gilt spine (worn, wormed, old repairs to joints and headcap). Provenance : Claude Pigeon, medical doctor in Avranches, bought in 1742 for 30 pounds (inscriptions, flyleaf and title page). Avicenna, an Arabic physician and philosopher, "had perhaps a wider influence in the eastern and western hemispheres than any other Islamic thinker" (PMM). His Canon medicinae presents the Muslim medical knowledge of his time, including its sources in the teachings of Hippocrates, Galen and Aristotle. In the Latin translation by Gerard of Cremona and others, the work was influential in western Europe from the thirteenth century on and was still being reprinted in the seventeenth. Among Avicenna's many contributions were "the earliest descriptions of the properties and preparation of alcohol and sulfuric acid and recognition of the communicable nature of a number of diseases such as tuberculosis and dysentery. He also perceived the hereditary nature of conditions such as premature baldness and gout. Two of the five book of the Canon discuss pharmaceutical matters, the nature of simple drugs, poisons, compound mixtures, and procedures for the gilding and silvering of pills; more than 750 drugs are discussed and there is also a long list of medicinal recipes" (Grolier Medicine p. 32). Adams A-2247; NLM/Durling 386; PMM 11 (for the Strasbourg edition printed before 1473); Wellcome 578; Norman 1950.
