1885Very Good English Original dark green cloth bdg. Brief title and "Stirps Arabica Vicit" with a saber and crescent moon gilded on the front board. A very good copy. 4to. (30 x 24 cm). In English. 66 p., 5 engraved plates. First and only edition of this handsome and illustrated book of the first Arabian horses presented by Ottoman Sultan Abdulhamid II, bred by Huntington in North America. Arabian horse breeding in North America properly began with the world tour taken by General Ulysses S. Grant after he served as president of America, it is that in March of 1878 the General and his son Jesse arrived in Istanbul (Constantinople ), after the day the Grants toured the private stables of Sultan Abdul Hamid II are distinctly contradictory. Randolph Huntington was an American horse breeder who demonstrated the possibilities inherent in the Arab horse for the purpose of developing a new breed of saddle and road horses. During his first years on the farm, he bought and sold many colts and fillies as coach horses in New York City. He soon came to recognize the value of the Clay stock in that community which was largely the result of the breeding of a horse called Henry Clay which was brought to the nearby Genesee valley and whose stock was distributed through the valley. On May 31, 1879, there arrived in America two very fine stallions which were presented to General U.S. Grant by the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire. These stallions were named Leopard and Linden Tree. It is generally acknowledged that Linden Tree was a Barb-Arabian while Leopard was a pure Arabian. Prior to the time that these horses arrived in America, the very favorable results from inbreeding to produce typical Clay horses were shown to be practical. After seeing the stallions, Leopard and Linden Tree, Randolph Huntington at once started negotiations to breed three virgin Clay mares to each of these stallions. He hoped thereby to improve the road horse quality of his horses. In the following years, he called them Clay-Arabs. Since Huntington wanted to breed only virgin mares. Leopard was a Seglawi Jedran, desert-bred by the Anazeh, foaled in 1873 and presented by Jedaan Ibn Mheyd of the Fedaan Anazeh to the Turkish governor of Syria. (Some accounts list Ibn Mheyd as the breeder, while Carol Mulder, with typical caution, makes the distinction that we only know he presented the horse) The governor then presented the horse to Abdul Hamid II, who in turn gave him to General Grant.

Bartholomaei Montagnanae ... Consilia 305. In quibus agitur de uniuersis fere aegritudinibus, humano corpori euenientibus: & mira facilitate, curandi eas adhibetur modus. Post haec accedunt tractatus tres De balneis Patauinis: hoc est, de situ, aspectu, minera, ac viribus eorundem. Praeterea sequitur breuissimus ordo, ac ratio medicinas praeparandi: & sub qua dosi debent exhiberi. Una cum antidotario omnium refertissimo. Recens omnia summa fide, ac diligentia in lucem edita: & a mendis, quibus scatebant, repurgata. Affectus vero omnes, quibus de agitur in his consilijs, sequens index aperte indicat

1565In-folio, (8), 369pp, (1), legatura in pergamena coeva, titolo manoscritto al dorso; rilegato con Tractatus tres de balneis Patavinis e con Tractatus de modo componendi Medicinas, & de dosi earum, e Antidotarium. Medico di origine veneta morto nel 1460, esercitò a Padova anche come insegnante presso la locale e prestigiosa Università di medicina, dove dai documenti risulta professore dal 1422 al 1441. La sua opera Consilia, stampata nei primi decenni del secolo successivo, è molto conosciuta e apprezzata. Viene anche ricordato per l’attività di chirurgo ed esperto di anatomia: si dice che abbia eseguito personalmente quattordici dissezioni complete. Trattandosi di uno studioso quattrocentesco, i suoi interessi botanici sono strettamente legati alla sua attività di medico nella preparazione dei medicamenti che provenivano per la maggior parte dal mondo vegetale. Il prestigio dei Consilia durerà per alcuni secoli e molti saranno gli autori di medicina che attingeranno alle sue informazioni scientifiche e alla struttura del libro, organizzato sapientemente nella discussione di 305 casi clinici comprendenti tutta la materia medica conosciuta, chirurgia e anatomia comprese. In-folio, (8), 369pp, (1), contemporary vellum binding, handwritten title on the spine; bound with Tractatus tres de balneis Patavinis and with Tractatus de modo componendi Medicinas, & de dosi earum, and Antidotarium. Doctor of Venetian origin who died in 1460, he also practiced in Padua as a teacher at the local and prestigious University of Medicine, where the documents prove him as professor from 1422 to 1441. His work Consilia, printed in the first decades of the following century, is well known and appreciated. He is also remembered for his activity as a surgeon and anatomy expert: he is said to have personally performed fourteen complete dissections. Being a fifteenth-century scholar, his botanical interests are closely linked to his activity as a doctor in the preparation of medicines that mostly came from the plant world. The prestige of the Consilia will last for a few centuries and many medical authors will draw on its scientific information and on the structure of the book, expertly organized in the discussion of 305 clinical cases including all known materia medica, surgery and anatomy included.
