2 parts in one volume, folio (12 4/8 x 8 2/8 inches). Woodcut printer's device on title-pages and at end, numerous woodcut illustrations in the text (some waterstains). Contemporary vellum over thin paste-boards, yapp fore-edges (front free endpaper torn with loss, rubbed, a few small stains). Provenance: 19th-century ink library stamp on front paste-down. Third Latin edition of an extensively illustrated edition of Mattioli's commentary on Dioscorides's "De Materia Medica", first published by Valgrisi in 1554. As usual, this edition is bound with Mattioli's "Apologia adversus Amathum Lusitanum," published by Valgrisi in 1559. Mattioli was a doctor and naturalist born in Siena. He received his MD at the University of Padua in 1523, and subsequently practiced the profession in Siena, Rome, Trento and Gorizia, becoming personal doctor of Ferdinand II, Archduke of Austria in Prague and Ambras Castle and Maximilian II, Holy Roman Emperor in Vienna. A careful student of botany, he described 100 new plants and coordinated the medical botany of his time in his "Discorsi" ("Commentaries") on the "Materia Medica" of Dioscorides. The first edition of Mattioli's work appeared in 1544 in Italian. The commentary quickly became 'an encyclopedia of Renaissance pharmacology' (cf. Stillwell, Awakening of Science 450) and in 1565 Mattioli augmented it considerably with fuller notes. There were several later editions in Italian and translations into Latin (Venice, 1554), Czech, (Prague, 1562), German (Prague, 1563) and French. In addition to identifying the plants originally described by Dioscorides, Mattioli added descriptions of some plants not in Dioscorides and not of any known medical use, thus marking a transition from to the study of plants as a field of medicine to a study of interest in its own right. In addition, the woodcuts in Mattioli's work were of a high standard, allowing recognition of the plant even when the text was obscure. A noteworthy inclusion is an early variety of tomato, the first documented example of the vegetable being grown and eaten in Europe. Incidentally Mattioli described the first case of cat allergy. His patient was so sensitive to cats that if he was sent into a room with a cat he reacted with agitation, sweating and pallor. Adams D-669; Nissen BBI 1305; Stafleu and Cowan TL2 III, p. 372.

The work of Dioscorides, which was often quoted as little verified during the Middle Ages, came to be considered in the 16th century as the most comprehensive pharmacopoeia of antiquity, being studied and published in editions with commentaries by Miguel Servet, Leonardo Fuchs, Pietro Andrea Mattioli, Amato Lusitano, Andrés Laguna and quite a few others. Pietro Andrea Mattioli, based in Trento, began his work on 'The Six Books of the Medical Matter' by Dioscorides around 1533, first publishing the translation of the first five books into Italian, in 1544, from the Latin version by Jean Ruelle (which was first printed in Paris, at Officina Henrici Stephani, in 1516)(2). Also used by Miguel Servet for his commentaries, Ruelle?s version was the most followed in the 16th century until 1598, when Jean-Antoine Sarasin (Sara.
