1717réf. 56704to manuscript on vellum 23.5 x 17.1 cm 7 ff. 4 ff. vellum blanks including a full-page frontispiece illumination of Venetian Lion of St. Mark each text page with foliate borders in gold ink headings and initials in gold ink. Bound in contemporary Venetian morocco elaborately gold tooled gold block-printed foliate pastedowns. Edge wear and minor rubbing to spine and boards manuscript loose in binding oxidizing to edges of pastedowns. Marginal flaws to frontispiece illumination just touching border in places a few small wormholes elsewhere minor handsoiling. Finely illuminated early 18th-century Venetian manuscript issued by the city's Magistrato alla Sanità Health Department as a license to certify the physician Antonio Damugliano d. 1747 to practice medicine in the Venetian Republic using his propriety formula for topical salves balsami to treat "wounds and ulcers" f. 3v-3r. The manuscript ornately written out and decorated in gold and colored ink opens with a full-page image of the winged Lion of San Marco in the Venetian landscape which serves as an official seal of the document's authenticity and is inscribed by five Provveditori of the Magistrato and one notary who witnessed the certification. This pharmaceutical license represents a rare material survival of how Venice's Magistrato alla Sanità regulated the practice of medicine in its territories even down to the level of controlling how individual practitioners could work with specific drugs. Damugliano presumably was required to keep the document on his person while plying his trade and to present it to the relevant authorities or even to his patients should his practice be called into question. The text of the document is written out twice – first in Italian and then in Latin – to suit the linguistic preferences of both the common Venetian citizen and the professional medical class. Damugliano also known as Antimo Damulianos is noted in the document dated April 1717 as being a native of the Ionian island of Zante or Zakynthos at the time a Venetian colony and having recently returned from Moscow "where with good success and for a long time he practiced medicine with full official permission of many noteworthy people" f. 2v. Damugliano is said to have studied medicine in Europe likely in Italy specializing in contagious diseases and eventually practicing in Asia Minor Persia India China Egypt Constantinople and Trieste and to have been ordered by Emperor Charles VI 1685-1740 to treat the sick of a plague outbreak in Corinth see L. Zoes passim. Damugliano's name is also associated with a 1725 treatise entitled 'Medicina' which circulated in manuscript form in Venice and dealt with the use of salves pills and stones to treat hydrophobia see L. Zoes; we have been unable to locate a copy of this treatise. Damugliano is also recorded as having worked in Vienna where an April 1746 news magazine comments that the "very famous" Damugliano having traveled through numerous kingdoms has arrived to demonstrate the curative powers of "the wondrous Chinese stone called Bezoar" which is effective against fevers snake bites fatigue colic etc. Nachtrag p. 64. The bezoar stone an indigestible mass formed in the digestive tract of ruminants was lauded from the middle ages as a universal antidote to poison. R.

1835réf. 3220261Concertina-folding hand-coloured lithographic peepshow with three cut-out sections front-face measuring 98 × 137 mm; the peepshow extends by paper bellows to approximately 275 mm. Hand-coloured lithograph housed in a custom made cloth box. Rare German peepshow of St. Mark's Square in Venice rather naive in appearance resembling the illustrations found in chapbooks of the time. The front-face consists of the title a view of St Mark's Square viewed from an architectural arrangement at the west end of the square symbols of carnival - a tambourine masks and a jester's bauble - and a circular peephole. The staffage on the cut-outs and backboard consist of commedia del arte figures including a dancing man with a mandolin and two dwarfs. The campanile hopelessly represented and wrongly positioned features on the third cut-out and St Mark's on the backboard. [Germany,
