1958rif. 115611958. Hippocrates ca. 460 - 370 BCE. High-relief portrait plaque in synthetic stone by Doris Appel 1904-95 signed in the medium by the sculptor. N.p. n.d. ca. 1958. 345 x 265 mm. Crack in the back of the plaque extending across the bottom and up the left side but sound. Very good. Appel a student of the School of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and the School of Art of Boston University confined her work to the interpretation of medical history. Medical historian Arturo Castiglione characterized her work as "an important art contribution unique in its kind in the history of medicine." Examples of Appel's work are found in many of the greatest medical libraries and medical centers in the world. The Hippocrates plaque is made of an off-white permanent synthetic stone and was hand-finished by the artist. We purchased the last few examples of Appel's portrait plaques forty years ago from the artist herself and were advised then that the molds had been destroyed. . unknown

1685rif. OV-039Amsterdam: Henricus Wetstenius 1685. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Good. Hippocrates. Hippocratis Aphorismi edited by Theodorus Janssonius ab Almeloveen. Amsterdam: Henricus Wetstenius 1685. First edition of Almeloveen's influential edition of the Hippocratic Aphorisms. An unusually appealing pocket-format seventeenth-century edition of one of the foundational texts of Western medicine. Almeloveen presents the Aphorisms of Hippocrates in Greek and Latin supplemented with parallel passages drawn particularly from Hippocrates and the Roman medical writer Aulus Cornelius Celsus with additional material from Celsus following the principal text. The engraved title bears a portrait of Hippocrates and the Amsterdam imprint of Henricus Wetstenius dated 1685. Bound in what appears to be contemporary full calf with raised bands and extensive gilt decoration to the spine including a gilt-lettered title compartment. The leather remains attractive and remarkably intact for a volume approximately 340 years old showing expected rubbing surface wear and edge wear particularly at the corners and spine extremities. Gilt tooling remains clearly visible. Binding remains solid and usable. Interior shows expected age toning occasional spotting and evidence of historical use. The engraved Hippocrates title/portrait is present and remains attractive. No major structural defects observed in the material examined. Because of the age and tightness of the binding the volume has not been aggressively opened or collated leaf-by-leaf in order to preserve the original binding. A particularly appealing early medical book: the first Almeloveen edition of the Hippocratic Aphorisms printed in Amsterdam in 1685 and preserved in a handsome contemporary leather binding.

Aphorisms Corpus Hippocraticum The Aphorisms Greek fsµ Aphorismoí later also called Sententiae1 in Latin are a collection of texts within the Corpus Hippocraticum. They belong to the most widely distributed parts of the Hippocratic writings i.e. they have often been annotated and edited since antiquity. In seven chapters or books attributed to the Coic school of physicians2 422 short statements on a wide variety of medical fields and topics such as nosology therapy physiology and gynaecology3 have survived. The best-known aphorism is Vita brevis ars longa "Art is long life is short". In literary history the aphorisms give their name to the tradition of aphorisms as a literary genre. The dominant themes of the writing are therapeutic and prognostic relating to the assessment of the course of the disease. Theodorus Janssonius van Almeloveen 24 July 1657 - 28 July 17121 Theodoor Jansson was a Dutch physician and the learned editor of various classical and medical works. He was an untiring author and editor and acquired the highest reputation as a teacher and for his scholarship science and particularly for his great bibliographical knowledge. He had a great knowledge of books. Besides editions with notes of Strabo Juvenal Quintilian the Aphorisms of Hippocrates Celsus Apicius Aurelian on Diseases and Decker's Treatise on Supposititious Writings he has left a work in Dutch on the anatomy of the muscles several bibliographical treatises in Latin among which are a work-De Vitis Stephanorum a list of Plagiaries and a list of books promised that never appeared. hardcover

1643rif. 707811643. Marpurgi Literâ Chemliniana Anno Meßiae 1643 16° 417 15 pp. Pergamenteinband d.Zt.; Papier etwas gebräunt. Sehr seltene erste Ausgabe! Synopsis aphorismorum Hippocratis: methodicè disposita & notationibus illustrata Zusammenfassung der Aphorismen des Hippokrates: methodisch geordnet und mit Anmerkungen erläutert. Das Buch stellt eine systematische Aufbereitung der berühmten medizinischen Aphorismen des Hippokrates dar. Tielemann ordnete die Aphorismen nach medizinischen Themengebieten methodisch um den praktischen Nutzen für Ärzte und Medizinstudenten des 17. Jahrhunderts zu erhöhen. Johannes Tilemann ca. 1605-1682 "geboren zu Wertheim in Franken studirte in Marburg Medicin wo er am 23. Februar 1636 promovirte und bereits 1637 eine ordentliche Professur erhielt. 1655 ging er nach Mainz und wurde nach seinem Uebertritt zum Katholicismus kurfürstlicher Leibmedicus. Da man ihm aber hier die Versprechungen die man ihm gemacht hatte nicht hielt wechselte er 1660 abermals sein Bekenntniß um die Stelle eines Stadtphysicus in Schmalkalden zu erlangen. In demselben Maaße wie er charakter- und gewissenlos war war er auch brutal und rachsüchtig. Als 1648 in Marburg seine erste Frau starb bezeichnete man ihn als ihren Mörder; doch konnte eine Untersuchung weiter nichts feststellen als daß er sie auf das schlimmste mißhandelt hatte. Seine zweite Frau die er 1660 in Schmalkalden heirathete behandelte er nicht besser; sie mit ihren Eltern beschuldigten ihn daß er sie habe vergiften wollen. Die Untersuchungsacten sprachen sehr zu seinen Ungunsten auch daß er sich schließlich vor Ablauf des Processes trotz hoher Caution im December 1661 heimlich aus Schmalkalden entfernte. Wohin er sich begab ist ungewiß ebenso wann und wo er gestorben ist; Ayrmann behauptet sogar daß er noch Jude geworden sei! Als Arzt wurde er gerühmt auch seiner Schriften halber vgl. über sie Strieder; doch war er z. B. auch von den großen Wirkungen eines Amuletts überzeugt das er erfunden hatte."

1601rif. A9FGFK4C5FH3Leiden 1601. 12mo. ex Officina Plantiniana by Christopher Raphelengius Contemporay vellum with the manuscript title on the spine remnants of ties. With a woodcut printer's device on the title page and several decorated woodcut initials. 1 1 blank 14 512 16 pp. Rare first edition of the Aphorisms of Hippocrates of Cos 460-370 BCE the father of Medicine edited and translated into Latin by the famous first Leyden professor of medicine Johannes Heurnius. The aphorisms of Hippocrates are the earliest collection of the kind. It is a series of observations from which the patient's affliction could be deduced and treatment prescribed. Their broad application made them exceptionally valuable to medical practitioners of the time. Included are notable and often invoked phrases as: "Life is short the art long" and "The physician must not only be prepared to do what is right himself but also to make the patient the attendants and externals cooperate".Apparently the translation by Heurnius was very successful. Other editions appeared in 1607 in Leiden and Antwerp 1609 and 1611 both by the Officina Plantiniana in Leiden. A "second edition" was published in 1623 by J. le Maire in Leiden. Furthermore it was published in 1615 in Lyon by the widow of A. de Harsy and in Jena in 1690.With manuscript owner's inscriptions on the recto and verso of the front board on the back pastedown and with several manuscript annotations in the margins. The vellum is creased and browned slightly damaged around the spine the bookblock has separated from the binding along the front hinge still attached at the bottom endband the back hinge is somewhat weakened.

Scattered foxing marginal tear to p. xi. A fine copy. Upon its publication in 1776 this text commenting on the Hippocratic treatise on fractures won the admiration of scholars at the Royal Academy of Surgery in Paris on the other side of the Alps. Joseph Pierre Eléonor Pétrequin would thus own in the following century a copy of this work recognized in France the one offered here. His main book published posthumously in 1878 would also deal with the medicine of Hippocrates. Pietro Pericoli would write in 1879 that Andrea Massimini was the last at that date to have worked on the doctrines of the ""Father of Medicine"" this Italian politician had certainly not yet heard of Pétrequin's 1200 pages on the subject. A fine illustrated work associating two renowned surgeons in line with the Hippocratic legacy. Provenance: ownership inscription of Joseph Pierre Eléonor Pétrequin.
