Description
Servestae [ Zerbst], excudebat Bonaventura Faber, 1595. In-8° : [12]-196 [i.e. 194]-[2 bl.] pp. (copy browned, long wormholes with lack in the first half, ms. provenance on the title-page, some foxing, 1 marginal tear repaired p. 9). Contemporary binding : dark calf, ribbed spine (wears, mark of a medallion supposed to be gilt (?), turn ins lacking, small wormholes at the spine, one corner lacking and another dulled). FIRST EDITION of this work by Capivaccio (+ 1589), edited by Lorenz Scholz. The physicist from Padova, following Hippocrates and Galen, insists on the importance to study urines to make a correct diagnose and to group all the observations in a particular science. Capivaccio thought, as the Greek physicists and Aristoteles that urine is a secretion from the liver, dragged by the kidneys.
