1895ref. 182165Shanghai: Published at the Statistical Department of the Inspectorate General of Customs 1895-1905. I believe the Inspectorate aided by its Medical Officers can do good work A lengthy run of this valuable specialist compendium. Each issue had a circulation of around 500 copies only the majority sent to customs stations and libraries as well as diplomats and naval officers and copies are therefore rare in commerce. The Chinese Maritime Customs Service was founded in 1854 by Britain and other foreign powers to collect taxes on maritime trade for the Chinese government but its remit quickly expanded to include domestic customs administration the postal service waterway and harbour management and scientific research. In 1870 Inspector-General Sir Robert Hart instituted this series information to be provided by the medical officers assigned to customs stations. Issues were issued on a yearly or half-yearly basis sometimes in double numbers.

This copy formerly in the Shirburn Castle library of The Earl of Macclesfield their North Library bookplate marked '1.H.57'. In 2006 sold at Sothebys London 11 April 2006 lot 2312. Fifth folio edition of the Latin Bible as Biblia Utriusque Testamenti published by Robert Estienne 15031559 in 1556 but with the original edition of the new Latin translation and commentary on the New Testament by Theodore Beza 15191605; notably this edition appeared contemporaneously with the printing of John Calvins Psalms Commentary. Theodore Beza a French Reformed Protestant theologian and Calvinist produced one Latin and four Greek-Latin editions of the New Testament in his lifetime working carefully through extant Greek manuscript sources. Estiennes great glossed Latin Bible of 1556/57 thus contained the translation of the Old Testament by Dominican philologist Sante Pagnini or Pagninus 14701536 first printed in 1528. Based on the Hebrew Pagninis text is in the center of each page and Bezas translation from the Greek is in smaller type to the side with commentary and alternate readings underneath. The Estienne-Beza Latin Bible with its copious notes and ties to Calvinist theology was of considerable importance in the early modern era. The 20 woodcut biblical illustrations were first used in an Estienne edition of the Bible printed in Paris in 1540. This copy beautifully bound in a Dutch vellum enjoyed placement in one of the finest libraries in Britain from around the mid-18th century. See also Renouard 'Estienne' p. 87; cf.

1774ref. ABC_501841774. Loosely inserted in contemporary wrappers with the manuscript title on the front. The work is kept in a brown cloth folder with a red morocco title label on the front lettered in gold. Folio. Three manuscript reports concerning sickness scurvy hospital conditions and mortality aboard ships of the VOC Dutch East India Company specifically on voyages between the Cape of Good Hope and Batavia and in connection with the Bengal trade.The first document is from 1783 written by the doctor C. J. de Jamars and addressed to the VOC Chamber at Amsterdam this report discusses the uncommon sicknesses and deaths occurring on outward-bound ships between the Cape and Batavia. It refers to earlier resolutions and records that mortality up to the Cape had decreased following improved regulations.Particular emphasis is laid upon scurvy and putrid fevers and upon the inadequacy of medical stores supplied at the Cape. De Jamars argues for a substantial increase in China cinchona bark the principal febrifuge of the period recommending as much as 50 lb for a complement of 300 men. The document reflects the increasing institutional awareness within the VOC of shipboard hygiene provisioning and preventative medicine.The second document is an extract of a report submitted to Mr Willem Arnold Alting 1724-1800 Governor-General of the VOC by several medical officers including B. S. Engelbert. It offers a detailed investigation into the heavy mortality on ships sailing from the Cape to Batavia.The Cape hospital is identified as a principal source of contagion described as dilapidated foul and lacking segregation of patients. Criticism is levelled at the premature discharge of convalescents who were allegedly forced into heavy labour under harsh conditions before full recovery thereby spreading infection aboard ship. Other causes listed include: the embarkation of inexperienced sailors elderly men and boys climatic factors humid oppressive air near the tropics insufficient medicines especially cinchona bark and spirits of vitriol severe restrictions on fresh water for both sick and healthy men.The report makes extensive practical recommendations: improved hospital hygiene provision of clean clothing and bedding prohibition on the sale of sailors garments better victualling including sauerkraut dried fruits barley beans butter and raisins increased water rations and the preparation of restorative drinks in extreme heat.There are vivid observations of men reduced to destitution lacking shoes or bedding when transferred from hospital to ship and of theft and neglect among the lower ranks. The text provides valuable insight into 18th-century naval medicine dietetics and the administrative challenges of long-distance maritime empire.The third document is a memorandum concerning the prevention of scurvy during prolonged stays in Texel prior to departure. Again written by De Famard he observes that idleness lack of exercise and exposure to damp sea air predispose crews to scorbutic disease even before sailing.The wrappers have been reinforced with gauze on the outside. Otherwise in very good condition. hardcover

1492ref. I1IBX3XL9PHDColophon: Venice: Bernardino Rizzo 1492. Modern black- and gold-tooled calf. Folio 42 x 28 cm. Set in in 2 columns in 2 sizes of rotunda gothic types with spaces left for numerous 3-line and 4-line and a few larger initials with printed guide letters none filled in. First edition of a work on poisons compiled by Sante Arduino or Ardoini of Pesaro: an elaborate compendium on poisons in eight books which Sante Ardoini of Pesaro compiled in the years 1424-1426 from Greek Arabic and Latin works on medicine and nature and which was printed at Venice in 1492 and at Basel in 1518 and 1562. Although Ardoini quotes previous authors at great length his work is no mere compilation since he does not hesitate to disagree with such medical authorities as Peter of Abano and Gentile da Foligno and refers to his own medical experience or observation of nature at Venice and to what fisherman or collectors of herbs have told him. He also seems to have known Arabic and his occasional practice of giving the names of herbs in several Italian dialects is of some linguistic value Thorndike. Arduino makes extensive use of the works of Avicenna Ibn Sina who held a high place in Western European medical studies ranking together with Hippocrates and Galen as an acknowledged authority" Weisser. Among the numerous other sources he used are Galen Avenzoar Ibn Zuhr Rasis al-Razi Andromachus Albucasis Al-Zahrawi Serapion the younger and Dioscorides.A very good copy with only a few marginal water stains. Binding slightly rubbed along the extremities and with a few scratches on boards.l BMC STC Italian p. 927; GW 2318; ISTC ia00950000; Thorndike III p. 545. Bernardino Rizzo, unknown
