1798ref. 00341CATTLE PLAGUE BROADSIDE BY DR. FAUST --- 1 broadsheet 463 x 363 mm --- One of at least a dozen broadside editions of the prolific German physician's advice on treating the devastating cattle plague. We find others published at Stuttgart 1797; Bückeburg 1797; Leipzig 1797; Dresden 1799; Bamberg 1801; Leipzig 1813; a 1797 edition without place of production; undated editions at Karlsruhe and Gotha; an 1800 French version Strasbourg and another undated French edition. We suspect the content derives from the author's much more extensive Über die Rindvieh-PestStuttgart 1797. His advice was also issued in pamphlet form on which subject our broadside has a terse promotional note at end: "I have also written a book on rinderpest. Read it!" No doubt selling advice from any Dr. Faust required extra effort though he was admittedly quite respected and widely known for his Catechism of Health. At bottom are prices for the broadside both individually and in wholesale quantities of 100 and 600. ¶ There was good reason to produce and post these broadsides widely. "Cattle plague or rinderpest the highly infectious and most lethal of bovine diseases described as the most dreaded above all of animal contagions had repeatedly ravaged Europe since time immemorial" Spinage. Europe was hit especially hard in the 18th and 19th centuries where Germany alone lost an estimated 28 million cattle between 1711 and 1865. Beyond the tragic loss of life livelihoods were destroyed and economies distressed. ¶ Faust here provides a list of symptoms both external and internal; remarks on the fatality of the disease indicating that 25 million German cattle had been killed since 1711 the year of a notorious Italian epidemic; sundry facts and characteristics of the scourge "It's present in every season in all weather and in every country"; details on its transmission; comments on the uselessness of certificates of health and the dangers of the cattle trade; and preventative measures and treatment these accounting for roughly half of the broadside's content with discrete sections on actions to take based on when the disease arrived "If the plague has arrived within 30 or fewer hours there is danger!" plus advice should an infected animal be found in your community "Killing the first sick animal is the best and surest means of putting an end to rinderpest". We expect anyone literate charged with caring for cattle might have kept a broadside like this handy and communities at risk certainly would have benefited from sharing the information publicly. The vast geographic spread of their production betrayed the importance of reaching every corner of the country. Lemgo for example was hardly a great metropolis yet our printer thought it reasonable to offer this broadside in quantities of 600. ¶ We locate no other copies of this Lemgo edition. --- CONDITION: Printed on the recto only of a full sheet of laid paper. Hinged into a hinged matte. ¶ Brittle at the edges with some creases and chips; creased across both dimensions with a pinhole at the intersection and some toning along the horizontal crease. --- REFERENCES: C.A.

Italian text. Italian description: Il volume ricostruisce il contesto illuministico di acculturazione popolare in cui il Granduca Pietro Leopoldo fondo l'Imperiale e Reale Museo di Fisica e Storia Naturale. Ne affido la direzione a Felice Fontana 1730-1805 con il compito di organizzare le collezioni naturalistiche e gli strumenti scientifici dell'Accademia del Cimento fino ad allora conservati nella Galleria degli Uffizi. L'apertura al pubblico nel 1775 costitui un evento senza precedenti nel panorama dei musei di storia naturale e nel giro di pochi anni il Museo divenne il maggior centro italiano di ricerca fisica e naturalistica e le sue collezioni ebbero un incremento tale da essere considerate tra le piu importanti d'Europa. A cio contribui anche la creazione dell'officina ceroplastica che produceva fedeli quanto spettacolari modelli anatomici umani in cera. Nel 1780 fu anche portata a termine l'edificazione del torrino con l'osservatorio astronomico ulteriore passo verso il compimento dell'idea di riunire in un'unica sede tutte le discipline scientifiche. La pubblicazione costituisce una guida alle Sezioni di Zoologia La Specola di Antropologia ed Etnologia di Botanica di Geologia e Paleontologia di Mineralogia e Litologia dell'Orto Botanico. Per ciascuna area tematica sono forniti cenni storici e introduttivi la piantina e numerose illustrazioni delle collezioni esposte. . 2009. 8859606799 . Edizioni Polistampa paperback

FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- Text in English and Italian. 368 pp. -- with a bonus offer--; English and Italian Edition; The Ceramics Museum of Montelupo Fiorentino derives from the excavations that have been carried out in the old town centre since 1973 when rehabilitation works brought to light a large water well that after being abandoned had been filled up with a vast quantity of firing waste from the nearby kilns. From 24 May 2008 Montelupo will be able to boast a new Ceramics Museum extending over a surface area of 2500 metres with a collection of more than 1000 ceramics exemplars. This volume is not intended to be a catalogue of the Montelupo Ceramics Museum in the traditional sense but rather a publication that addresses the history of Montelupo as a whole with a large section devoted to the technology and organisation of work in the workshops and kilns from the Middle Ages up to the end of the Modern Age. Finally an extensive descriptive section is devoted to the most important types of ceramic ware produced over the span of five centuries. The author Fausto Berti has been the director of the Montelupo museum since 1982 and has to his credit an extensive series of specialist publications including the work in five volumes Storia della ceramica di Montelupo and an important catalogue on the Capolavori della maiolica rinascimentale ; moreover in 2004 he also published an edition of one of the most complete ceramic formularies in Italy I segreti di fornace by Dionigi Marmi. Contents: The historical-environmental framework. Population the castle and the unforeseen evolution of a florentine walled land in the XIII and XIV centuries - Montelupo and ceramics production in pre industrial Italy - The production of ceramics: technology methodology and organization of the workshops in Montelupo from XIV to XVIII century - The Museum of Ceramics.
