1634réf. 107041634. Several woodcut illus. in the text. 25 vols. Folio 346 x 230 mm. orig. wrappers rubbed & several with some wear three vols. with some staining occasional minor foxing orig. stitching. HansÅng: colophon in Vol. 2 dated 1634. Second edition 1st ed.: 1613 of a very great rarity “the greatest of all Korean medical treatises which devotes its last chapters to acupuncture and moxibustion.”–Lu & Needham Celestial Lancets p. 263n. It is considered to have one of the finest classification systems in traditional East Asian medicine. HÅ Chun 1539/46-1615 was a court physician of the Yangcheon HÅ clan during the reign of King Seonjo 1568-1608 of the Joseon dynasty in Korea. During the Japanese invasion of Korea 1592-98 HÅ faithfully accompanied the king through numerous difficult campaigns. Following the conflict the king commissioned HÅ to write a medical book for his citizens who suffered from post-war famines and epidemics. In 1610 HÅ completed his masterwork which was first published in 1613 an even rarer book. The Tongŭi pogam is divided into five broad sections: internal medicine four vols. external medicine four vols. miscellaneous diseases 11 vols. herbal remedies three vols. and acupuncture one vol. all preceded by a most useful two-volume Table of Contents. In the first section on internal medicine HÅ describes the interdependence of the liver lung kidney heart and spleen. The section on external medicine explains how the skin muscles blood vessels tendons and bones allow for movement and maintenance of posture. The part on miscellaneous diseases describes the symptoms diagnoses and treatment methods of various diseases. HÅ’s remedies rely on readily found medicinal herbs and plants and he provides impressively detailed instructions on how to extract maintain and consume the herbs. The last section explains acupuncture strategies. The work spread to other East Asian countries like China Japan and Vietnam and is still regarded as one of the classics of Asian medicine. “The Treasured mirror of eastern medicine was in fact one of the very few non-Buddhist works written outside China that achieved a wide circulation within China. It was written by HÅ Chun 1539-1615 as a summation of Korean medical knowledge and was printed in Korea in 1613. Copies were sent directly to China in 1721 and 1728 and a copy reached Japan in 1681. A revised edition was printed in Japan with glosses in 1724 and again in 1799; copies of the 1799 edition were sent to China via Nagasaki in 1811 and 1837. The Treasured mirror of eastern medicine was reprinted in China in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries either from the Korean edition or from one of the Japanese editions with the glosses removed. This was a rare sign of high esteem for a book written outside China.”–Peter Kornicki Languages Scripts and Chinese Texts in East Asia Oxford: 2018 p. 144. HÅ Chun remains famous in Korea today: there are several recently created television series and films about him and his achievements; a best-selling novel about him was published in 1990; and a museum in Seoul is devoted to his life and works. A very good “married” set with the first volume of miscellaneous diseases coming from another set. One volume has a hole to about ten leaves touching a few characters. ⧠For an extended and excellent discussion of the contents and importance of this work see Yeonseok Kang “History and Characteristics of Korean Medicine” in Routledge Handbook of Chinese Medicine 2022 pp. 507-08. unknown

1934réf. 122326Paris: Édité sous la direction de Lucien Vogel chez Jules Meynial 1934. First Edition. Paperback. Very Good. Paris Édité sous la direction de Lucien Vogel chez Jules Meynial 1934. A printed box-form thick card portfolio with ribbon ties external dimensions 392 × 290 mm containing a thin volume of text 'Croquis de Route et Notes de Voyage' 36 pages in stab-sewn printed wrappers extensively illustrated and a suite of 50 loose colour plates each printed on a numbered and captioned bifolium. Portfolio tanned bowed and slightly marked with a short split to the foot of the upper joint; ribbon ties frayed; wrappers of the text volume a little creased; plates are generally a little offset onto the conjugate leaf and about a quarter of them have a very short split at the foot of the fold; the first plate is discoloured from contact with the binding of the text volume; these are relatively trifling blemishes that do not detract from what essentially an excellent example of a beautiful publication. Number 117 of 500 copies of the trade edition a further 200 'hors-de-commerce' copies were also printed as well as a deluxe edition of 20 copies. This suite of plates is the lavish pictorial record by the official artist of the Expedition Citroën Centre-Asie colloquially known as the Croisière jaune the Yellow Cruise. Financed by André Citroën and using all-terrain tracked caterpillar-tread vehicles from his factories this trans-Asian motorised expedition covered vast distances in 1931 and 1932. The plates from Iacovleff's striking pastels and watercolours encompass portraits and scenes from Kurdistan to Tonkin by way of Persia Afghanistan Kashmir Mongolia and western China. Provenance: Mary Isobel Barr Smith with a contemporary gift inscription in ink to her 'from Mary Isobel Legoe Christmas 1937'. Mary Isobel Molly Barr Smith 1863-1941 was the wife of Tom Elder Barr Smith 1863-1941 pastoralist and financier; he was the eldest son of Robert Barr Smith 1824-1915. Both were great philanthropists; the library at the University of Adelaide is named the Barr Smith Library in their honour. Molly Legoe was a grand-daughter of Robert Barr Smith; accordingly this portfolio was a Christmas present to her aunt. Édité sous la direction de Lucien Vogel chez Jules Meynial paperback
