THIRD ENLARGED EDITION of Orazio Augenio's medical letters, first printed in Turin by Niccolò Bevilacqua in 1579 and, in a second 4to-issue, in 1580. The work underwent several other editions until the beginning of the 17th century (Frankfurt, 1597, 1600, 1605; and Venice, 1607).
The first part is dedicated by the author to Catherine of Habsburg, duchess of Savoy (Torino, December 15, 1591). The dedication of part two is addressed to Ludovico Miglietta, chancellor of the duke of Savoy.
The two parts contain 130 letters overall, of which only a part is dated. The letters are not chronologically arranged. They are often in the form of ‘medica responsa' and sometimes are divided into different chapters. In volume I all the letters are numbered within each book; in volume II only the first letter of book V is numbered.
