Description
First edition, dedicated by the author to Henry VIII King of Britain, of this important work that is mainly an extensive commentary on Hippocrates and Galen. The Latin translation of the aphorisms is by Niccolò Leoniceno (1428-1524, Italian physician, botanist and humanist and, also, the master of Brasavola). Antonio Musa Brasavola, a native of Ferrara, engaged himself in the most diverse fields of knowledge: he dealt with law (he is credited with the compilation of the Ferrara statutes adopted by Hercules II), philosophy, history, and poetry. But, most importantly, he was physician to several popes and three French kings, and, thanks to his knowledge of Greek texts, he reintroduced numerous forgotten plants into medical practice.
