Description
2 voll. in-8°, pp. XXI, (2), 488; (8), 599; legatura editoriale t. tela grigia con titolo in oro su tasselli rossi ai dorsi. Perfetto stato. Seconda edizione, ristampa fotolitografica dell'edizione originale del 1906 di questa classica bibliografia dei libri di chimica, di alchimia e di farmacia nella collezione 'of the late James Young of Kelly and Duris'. Introduzione di F. Sherwood Taylor. 'As a bibliography, it is an extremely detailed, scholarly piece of work. The items themselves have precise title-page transcriptions and collations. Ferguson carefully noted other works by the same author, other editions and translations of the work fully described, references to the author in many other standard works (eg histories and encyclopaedias) and, unusually for a bibliography, a concise and critical biographical account of the author and appraisal of his work. Ferguson's facts and judgements have in most cases yet to be superseded.' (Pritchard). Cfr. (prima edizione del 1906): Thorndike, I, XXIV. Duveen, 212. Besterman, 1247.
