Hippocrates. Aphorismi, edited by A.Vorst, additional engraved pictorial title, Greek & Latin title and text, woodcut ornaments and initials, with final blank but partly torn away, very light water-staining to first few leaves, engraved bookplate of William Constable F.R.S. & F.A.S., contemporary calf, spine lettered in gilt with unusual gilt-tooled border, old paper label at foot, brass clasps and edges to boards, a little worn, upper joint split, spine ends chipped, [Brunet III. 173], 24mo, Leiden, Gasbekios, [1675]. ⁂ Scarce edition of Hippocrates. William Constable F.R.S. & F.A.S. (1721-91) collector and compiler of a Cabinet of Curiosities of items collected on his Grand Tour to Italy in 1769. This is still on display at the old family home of Burton Constable Hall, Yorkshire, complete with many of the original labels, the only such cabinet to remain in its original country house location. Constable was particularly interested in the natural world and made attempts at classification (pre-Linnaeus) but despite his progressive thinking in the advancement of science he still believed that it was possible to cross-breed chickens with rabbits.
