rigide. Condizione: Bon. Editio nova, 1 vol. in-8 cartonnage ancien, Apud Gerardum Potuliet, Lugduni Batavorum [ Leyde ], 1745, 12 ff., 325 pp., 23 ff. n. ch., pp. 73-258 et 1 f. n. ch., avec 7 planches hors texte (dont une planche dépliante) Prospero Alpini (1553-1617) published "the first important work on the history of Egyptian medicine. Alpini became professor of botany at Padua after having spent three years in Egypt" (Garrison & Morton, 6468, for the 1591 edition). At the end we can read "De medicina indorum" by Jacobus Bontius (1592-1631), first published in 1642. "Bontius was probably the first to regard tropical medicine as an independent branch of medical science. He spent the last four years of his life in the Dutche East Indies, and his book incorporates the experience he gained there. It is the first Dutch work on tropical medicine and includes the first modern descriptions of beri-beri and cholera" (G&M, 2263). The "Medicina Indorum" contains 4 parts : 1 : Notae in Garciam ab orta ; 2 : De diaeta sanorum ; 3 : Meth. medendi Indica ; 4 :Observationes e cadaveribus. Fair copy (binding rubbed with important lack on spine, small wormholes on inner margins, without the folding plate of "Ponticum thracicum", otherwise a good copy, ms. ex-libris "Malaure"). Langue: Latin.

2 works in 1 volume. Very rare work on medicine in the East and West Indies, compiled for the use of naval and tropical surgeons, including ships' doctors on VOC and WIC ships. Dutch physicians Jacobus Bontius (or Jacob de Bondt, 1592-1631) and Willem Piso (or Gulielmus Piso, 1611-1678) are both considered to be the founders of the field of tropical medicine. Bontius worked in the East Indies. His chapters contain the first modern descriptions of cholera, beriberi, tropical dysentery, and yaws. Piso worked in Brazil during the Dutch period (1630-1654). He is known for his research on local medicinal plants, including the jaborandi, and discovered that Brazilian lemons were particularly effective for treating scurvy. The work is very rare. According to WorldCat, it is only present in a few libraries worldwide. We have also not been able to trace any other copies in sales records of the past 100 years.The present work is a Dutch translation of De medica Indorum (1642) by Bontius, the first Dutch work on tropical medicine, and Historia naturalis Brasiliae (1648) by Piso and Georg Markgraf (also known as Georg Marcgrave or Marggraf, 1610-1644), which is also considered to be a pioneering work in the field. As the present work was meant as a practical guide for surgeons, only the most relevant chapters of the Latin editions have been included.This is the first Dutch edition of Piso's work, but the second of Bontius'. Although most reference works do not mention this, the Dutch translation of Bontius' work had already been published in 1673 as Oost-Indische warande. As a result, the present work is the second edition, but it is the first to combine these two pioneering works.The last work in this binding, written by VOC physician Johannes Verbrugge (17th century) is a catalogue of drugs that physicians should carry on their travels to the East and West Indies, and includes a list of diseases that are common on those voyages and their cures. It is a logical addition to the other two works and is rarely found separately.With an ownership inscription on the first flyleaf ("4 d Verwilghen") ("Van den bussche"), and another on the second flyleaf ("Ch. Verwilghen 1829"), probably referring to the Verwilghen family, a notable and noble Belgian family originating from the Waasland region. Further with a small wormhole in the upper margin, (not affecting the text), very slight browning and foxing throughout, and the upper support is slightly loosened for the quires in the second half of the work.
