1693réf. 698811693. Leyden F. Haaring 1693 12° 8 172 alter Pergamenteinband. Rare - First and only edition of this work on the human digestion! Jacob Le Mort 1650-1718 after completing his studies he worked in Johann Rudolph Glauber's pharmacy in Amsterdam in 1667 and after Glauber's death in 1672 he set up a chemical laboratory in Leiden. Here he gave lectures on pharmacy and botany from 1675 and was admitted to the medical college in 1677. To this end he obtained his doctorate in medicine on 13 July 1678 with a thesis entitled 'De Medicamentis Galenicis' under Jacob Vallan at the University of Utrecht. In 1690 he became a lecturer in chemistry and head of the chemical laboratory in Leiden. After being granted a teaching licence at the medical faculty in 1692 he was appointed professor of chemistry and medicine on 6 May 1702 a position he took up with his inaugural lecture 'De concordantia operum naturae chymiae et medicinae'. With the appointment of this chair the chemical sciences were given a recognised place in Leiden's scientific world for the first time. As a member of the teaching staff he was also involved in the organisational tasks of the Leiden educational institution and was rector of the Alma Mater in 1706/07 a position he resigned with his speech 'De empirica doctrina medica'. After his death Herman Boerhaave took over his chair of chemistry. He was familiar with Boyle's writings imbued with the atomic theory and Descartes Followed in paying special attention to the shapes of the particles and opponent of the contemporary view of blood circulation which he defined as a 'Doctrina cadaverosa' without any real use. In his work as a chemist he investigated the fermentation theory of Franciscus Sylvius which he found unpersuasive. This work contains research of considerable interest primarily on the fermentation of organic substances and mixtures of food. A Dutch translation by Jacobus Romans appeared in 1696 as part of the edition of the Dutch translation of his Pharmacia .

1587In 16, pp. (8b) + 39 + (9b). Fr. nero e rosso. Bella vignetta inc. all'acq. al fr. raff. San Giovanni Decollato. Testo stampato in nero e rosso. Capilettera figg. Tarletto alle prime 5 cc. Antica cart. rustica. Rarissima raccolta di salmi, litanie e preghiere in lingua latina utilizzati dai membri della confraternita romana della Misericordia per accompagnare i condannati a morte nel momento estremo. Questa confraternita nacque a Firenze alla fine del 1400 con il nome di 'Confraternita di San Giovanni Decollato dei Fiorentini' con lo scopo di confortare i condannati a morte durante gli ultimi istanti di vita, e, una volta giustiziati, di dar loro dignitosa sepoltura. Nel 1490, Papa Innocenzo VIII canonizzo' la loro opera umanitaria con una Bolla Pontificia. La Confraternita divento' quindi 'Privilegia Venerabilis Arciconfraternitas Sancti Joannis Decollati', detta della 'Misericordia della Nazione Fiorentina in Roma'. Il Papa concesse alla confraternita come sede l'antichissima chiesa di S. Maria de Fovea. Alla vigilia di un'esecuzione, i Confratelli uscivano da una porticina della casa dell'Arciconfraternita nei loro sai e mantelli neri, dirigendosi verso le carceri di Tor di Nona o di Corte Savella, al lume di candela, e accompagnati dal suono di una campanella, per annunciare al popolo l'esecuzione dell'indomani. Dopo la lunga veglia notturna, scortavano il condannato, confortandolo fino alla fine. Quindi lo seppellivano nel chiostro della Confraternita, attraverso sette botole i cui coperchi di marmo portano ancora la scritta 'Domine, cum veneris judicare, noli me condemnare'.
