Softcover. Condition: Good. Folio (315x205), contemporary limp vellum with manuscript title on spine and lower edge, very light browning here and there due to paper quality, altogether an excellent copy, in unsophisticasted condition (light marginal waterstain to last leaves). ff. 8 n.n., pp. num. 573 (i.e. 571), 1 blank, ff. nn. 8 for index (of which 1 is an orig. blank). Third edition (after the original published in Venice in 1492, and the other Basel 1518 edn.) of this important text on poisons, an "elaborate compendium on poisons in eight books . Although Ardoini quotes previous authors at great length, his work is no mere compilation, since he does not hesitate to disagree with such medical authorities as Peter of Abano and Gentile da Foligno, and refers to his own medical experience or observation of nature at Venice and to what fisherman or collectors of herbs have told him. He also seems to have known Arabic, and his occasional practice of giving the names of herbs in several Italian dialects is of some linguistic value" (Thorndike, A History of magic and experimental Science, pp. 180-182, 606, 614). The author, born in Pesaro (Italy) likely at the end of the 14th cent., exercised his activity as a doctor and philosopher in Venice, where he composed the present work between 1424 and 1426; Among the several (many) sources that he used there are Avicenna, Galen, Avenzoar, Rasis, Albucasis, Serapion the younger and Dioscorides.

First edition of a work on poisons, compiled by Sante Arduino (or Ardoini) of Pesaro: an "elaborate compendium on poisons in eight books which Sante Ardoini of Pesaro compiled in the years, 1424-1426, from Greek, Arabic and Latin works on medicine and nature, and which was printed at Venice in 1492, and at Basel in 1518 and 1562. Although Ardoini quotes previous authors at great length, his work is no mere compilation, since he does not hesitate to disagree with such medical authorities as Peter of Abano and Gentile da Foligno, and refers to his own medical experience or observation of nature at Venice and to what fisherman or collectors of herbs have told him. He also seems to have known Arabic, and his occasional practice of giving the names of herbs in several Italian dialects is of some linguistic value" (Thorndike). Arduino makes extensive use of the works of Avicenna (Ibn Sina), who "held a high place in Western European medical studies, ranking together with Hippocrates and Galen as an acknowledged authority" (Weisser). Among the numerous other sources he used are Galen, Avenzoar (Ibn Zuhr), Rasis (al-Razi), Andromachus, Albucasis (Al-Zahrawi), Serapion the younger and Dioscorides.A very good copy, with only a few marginal water stains.
