  • Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. Folio. xxiv + 572 + (4)+ 208p. Title in red & black with ornamental device. 1 fullpage engraved figure in text; numerous ornamental initials and head and tail-pieces. Contemporary sheep; repaired. The complete medical works of Lazare Rivière (1589-1655), professor at Montpellier, who was the first to introduce the therapy of using metallic compounds internally, known as the spagiric or paracelsian-specific method, and the first to note aortic constriction. The works consist of the Institutiones medicae (see item above), together with the Praxeos medicae, an additional 17 books on the head, the sense organs, the teeth, the thorax and abdomen, the joints, women's illnesses, and fevers. Also included are 400 observations by the author and some 250 communicated to him by fellow physicians, and finally, the Arcana, a collection of secrets giving the chemical formulae for a large number of preparations together with their medicinal qualities. At the end, separately paginated, is added a treatise on the symptoms, cause and cure of respiratory problems by Fabrizio Bartoletti (1586-1630). The engraved figure shows a "pneumatolabium", a device for aiding severe breathing difficulties which was demonstrated to the author by Ferdinand Gonzaga, Duke of Mantua. Blake, p383.
