This edition includes a facsimile reproduction of the original Latin document, followed by typed text in Latin, Polish, and English. -- "Maciej Miechowita (1457-1523) was a Polish Renaissance scholar, professor of Jagiellonian University, historian, chronicler, geographer, medical doctor (royal physician of king Sigismund I the Old of Poland), alchemist, astrologer and canon in Cracow. His Tractatus de duabus Sarmatiis (Treatise on the Two Sarmatias) is considered the first accurate geographical and ethnographical description of Eastern Europe. It provided the first systematic description of the lands between the Vistula, the Don and the Caspian Sea. This work also repeated after Jan Dlugosz and popularised abroad the myth of Sarmatism: that Polish nobility (szlachta) are descendants from the ancient Sarmatians. His Chronica Polonorum (Polish Chronicle) is a developed, large treaty about Polish history and geography. Contra pestem sevam regimen and Conservatio sanitatis are his two printed medical treaties, about how to combat epidemics and on benefit of sanitation. He has also written other works, many of which appeared only in manuscripts and were not printed during his lifetime." [source: Wikipedia]. Seller Inventory # 008009
