BOSWELL, JAMES. - Life of Samuel Johnson, the

PANTHER, 1961. Paperback. Mass Market Paperback in Good+ condition. A solid binding with an unmarked text, age tanning to the pages and light spine creasing. " The text of this complete and unabridged edition is that of the 1791 first edition, and it remains, by common consent, the greatest biography in the English language. Johnson's centrality in 18th century letters is established not only by Boswell's record of his life and conversations, but also by the success of the work in placing him in a literary and cultural context. James Boswell (1740-95) was educated at Edinburgh and Glasgow universities as a lawyer. He moved to London in 1760, and was by turns a libertine and a Puritan. Introduced by his friends Sheridan and Garrick, Boswell met Johnson in 1763, and discovered a life's calling. "; 16mo 6" - 7" tall; 320 pages. Very Good .

Guillaume de BAILLOU - Epidemiorum et ephemeridum libri duo, Studio & operâ M. Iacobi Thevart Medici Parisiensis, digesti, Scholiis aliquot illustrati, & in lucem primùm editi • Deux livres des épidémies et des éphémérides, compilés par le travail et le soin de Maître Jacques Thevart, médecin parisien, illustrés de quelques scholies, et publiés pour la première fois

Jacques Quesnel | Paris 1640 | 16 x 23 cm | 4 volumes reliés en 1 ""The first modern epidemiologist"" | Jacques Quesnel | Paris 1640 | 16 x 23 cm | 4 volumes reliés en 1 | Édition originale de cet ouvrage important, cf Krivatsy 588. Garrison-Morton 1673, 5047 et 5085. Reliure en plein vélin rigide ivoire, dos à quatre nerfs avec le nom de l'auteur manuscrit à l'encre noire, un accident sur le quatrième nerf, roulettes à froid sur les coiffes, filet doré soulignant les nerfs et en encadrement sur des plats, petits manques de vélin sur les plats, manques angulaires sur la première det dernière gardes blanches, tranches mouchetées rouges, reliure de l'époque. A la suite de cet ouvrage ont été reliés trois autres traités de Guillaume de Baillou, tous imprimés par Quesnel en 1640. Krivatsy, qui décrit un volume composé de la même façon que le nôtre, suggère que ce recueil a pu être publié tel quel. Nous donnons ci-dessous la description des autres pièces :          -      Definitiorum medicarum liber. (Titre rouge et noir, 9 ff.n.ch., 108 pp. et 4 ff.n.ch. Le titre et les ff. liminaires ont été reliés par erreur à la suite des ff. liminaires du premier ouvrage). Cf Krivatsy 587. Garrison-Morton 6796. Édition originale parue en 1639, avec titre de relais à la date de 1640. ""A glossary of hippocratic terms"" [Garrison-Morton].   -        Commentarius in libellum Theophrasti De vertigine. (Titre, 1 f.n.ch. de dédicace, 41 pp., 1 f.n.ch.) Cf Krivatsy 582. Édition originale. ""Includes Greek and Latin text of Theophrastus's De vertigine"" [Krivatsy]    -      De convulsionibus libellus. (Titre, 7 ff.n.ch., 51 pp., 2 ff.n.ch.) Cf Krivatsy 585. Édition originale de ce traité des convulsions. Très rare ensemble établi en vélin d'époque. * Garrison-Morton cite cet ouvrage à trois reprises pour ses apports à trois différents domaines de la médecine : l'épidémiologie, l'identification de la diphtérie, et celle de la tussis quintana ou coqueluche. ""De Baillou was a follower of Hippocrates in his advancement of the doctrines of 'epidemic constitutions'. Crookshank regards him as the first modern epidemiologist (…) A pupil of Fernel, de Baillou was a brillant writer and speaker. The above work includes a description of the epidemic of diphteria in Paris, 1576. Later de Baillou advocated of tracheotomy, although there is no evidence that he performed that operation (…) First description of whooping cough. Baillou called it tussis quintana"". Cf. Garrison-Morton, loc. cit. Guillaume de Baillou [1528-1616] fut le médecin d'Henri IV. Ce praticien, en dépit de sa notoriété, ne publia aucun ouvrage de son vivant. Il légua ses manuscrits à deux docteurs de la Faculté de Paris, dont Jacques Thévart, qui édita notamment les quatre traités contenus dans ce recueil. ""Elève de Fernel, Guillaume de Baillou a été, en son temps, un des grands maîtres de la pathologie infectieuse (…) Il a apporté de nouvelles précisions sur la variole. Il a entrevu le croup, localisation laryngo-trachéale de la diphtérie, dont l'angine était déjà connue des Anciens, en particulier d'Arétée qui l'avait dénommée 'ulcère syriaque'. Il a distingué nettement les 'rhumatismes' aigus et chroniques. On lui doit d'avoir identifié pour la première fois la 'tussis quintana' qui allait s'appeler peu après - et à tort - coqueluche, par allusion au capuchon dont on coiffait certains malades réputés contagieux"".

Desiderius Erasmus 11682, Cyprian - Cyprianus, Thascius Caecilius. Erasmus, Desiderius Von Rotterdam. Eucherii Lugdunensis.

Poncetum le preux, 1541. Perkament. later edition of the work of Saint-Cyprian edited by Erasmus from recently discovered manuscripts. Cyprian was a bishop of Carthage and an early Christian writer of Berber descent, many of whose Latin works are extant. He is recognized as a saint in the Western and Eastern churches. He was born around the beginning of the 3rd century in North Africa, perhaps at Carthage,[5] where he received a classical education. Soon after converting to Christianity, he became a bishop in 249. A controversial figure during his lifetime, his strong pastoral skills, firm conduct during the Novatianist controversy and outbreak of the Plague of Cyprian (named for his description of it), and eventual martyrdom at Carthage established his reputation and proved his sanctity in the eyes of the Church. His skilful Latin rhetoric led to his being considered the pre-eminent Latin writer of Western Christianity until Jerome and Augustine.[With a Printer`s Mark of Poncet le Preux (1481-1559?) showing two dragons looking backwards and holding a shield with the initials P. L. P. A child and a seraph feeding birds can be seen in the trees. Poncet le Preux was a printer and bookseller in Paris. Cond./Kwaliteit: Redelijk.
