Description
8vo piccolo 166x115; Contemporary full vellum binding; pp. 16 nn, 453, 27 nn.
SECOND INCREASED EDITION.
This is the first book devoted entirely to occupational diseases, affecting miners, foundry workers, pharmacists, painters, printers, glass makers, farmers, blacksmiths, tinkers, weavers, vine-dressers, bakers, and numerous other craft skills; with an interesting section on diseases of the writers and men of culture
P.M.M.: “Ramazzini was the first to recognize the social significance of occupational diseases and his book appeared at a most opportune time, since, with the beginning of industrial development in the eighteenth century, prevention of accidents from machinery and the general health of workers became increasingly important.” In questa seconda edizione è aggiunto un capitolo dedicato alle malattie delle monache, classificate tra le ‘malattie professionali.’ Il grande successo del testo del Ramazzini è attestato anche dal fatto che già nel 1705 ne era apparsa una traduzione inglese.
P.M.M., n. 170; Garrison-Morton, n. 2121; Capparoni, II, 76.
Slight sign of yellowing on some pages, unsophisticated copy.
