CELSUS, Aulus Cornelius (c.25 B.C.-c.50 A.D.). De medicina. Venice: Philippus Pincius, for Benedictus Fontana, 6 May 1497. Collation: a-l8 m6. 94 leaves, roman and Greek types, 3-8-line initial spaces with guide-letters, Fontana device on final verso. [Bound with:] ARNALDUS VILANOVANUS (c. 1240–1311). Opera. Lyons: F. Fradin, 1509. Collation: AA10 a-z t ? ? A-M8 N6 O8 (-O8, blank).
2 works in one volume, 2° (312 x 215mm). (Some staining to gutter and top margin of both works, first work with a few leaves browned at beginning.) Contemporary blindstamped calf over wooden boards, brass cornerpieces and remains of clasps, green silk ribbon marker (rubbed and worn, spine fragile with head defective, cords showing). Provenance: early 16th-century marginalia to first two leaves of first work -- marginalia and underlining in a 16th-century hand in red ink to leaves b7-i2 (this just cropped by the binder) and in black ink to leaves r2-3 in second work -- ?Andrea (16th-century ownership inscription on verso of final leaf of first work with purchase price of half a florin) -- ink inscription on rear pastedown recording price and date of binding '84d. XXIII Julij Anno MDXXV' -- Hector Pömer (1495-1541; very large woodcut bookplate by Albrecht Dürer) -- late 18th-/early 19th-century ownership inscription on front flyleaf 'Mr Hobson, 7 Castle St, Falcon Sqr. [City of London]'.
TWO MEDICAL CLASSICS REDISCOVERED IN THE RENAISSANCE, collected by Hector Pömer, one of the most influential of Nuremberg churchmen during the Reformation. Dürer's large woodcut depicts a full-length figure of St Lawrence, reflecting the fact that Pömer became provost of the Nuremberg parish of St Lorenz in 1520. There are annotations by different contemporary hands in the two works. The annotations in the Vilanova are cropped by the binder for whose work Pömer paid '84d.' on 23 July 1525. The 1497 Celsus is the fourth edition of 'the oldest medical document after the Hippocratic writings' (Garrison and Morton 20). Written c.30 A.D., the De medicina was lost for most of the Middle Ages until it was recovered in 1426-1443. It was the first organised treatise on medicine to be printed (at Florence in 1478). Arnaldus de Villanova, probably Catalonian by birth, studied medicine at Montpellier until 1260, and was later personal physician to several popes and kings of Aragon, in spite of which he was imprisoned on several occasions and had his more controversial works censored and burned. 1st work: HC(+Add) *4838; GW 6459; BMC V, 498; Goff C-367. 2nd work: Adams A-1980; bookplate: Schoch, Mende and Scherbaum, Albrecht Dürer. Das druckgraphische Werk, II, A27.
