0. Selten. - Späterer Abzug von der Originalplatte, unten etwas fleckig. - Vgl. Wellcome Portraitkatalog Nr. 923. - Vgl. (zur Bedeutung des Buches) Rainer Immensack: Bibliographie als Geschichte der deutschsprachigen Tabakliteratur von 1579 - 1995, Nr. 1219. Sprache: Deutschu.

First edition of the first book devoted entirely to tobacco, promoting it as a universal cure and providing recipes for its use. In an unsophisticated contemporary vellum binding with manuscript titles to the spine. Rare, with only three copies appearing in auction records since 1988. USTC records two variants, one as here, with 246 pages, and the other with 234. No priority is established, and the 246 page variant is rarer institutionally. The Universal Short Title Catalogue also lists an edition published in 1583 that is identified by one copy at Balliol College, Oxford, but it no longer appears in their catalogue and no copies of that date are located by WorldCat, making it a likely error. 'This little work, produced by a physician who is said to have practised with distinction in Antwerp, appears to have been the first published entirely devoted to the subject of tobacco. a neat compendium of much of the information then available. It was, consequently, popular' (Arents 32). In addition to the tract on tobacco, Everard's book was published with Castore Durante's work on another New World medicament, the morning glory root, Compendiosa narratio de vsu & praxi radicis mechoacan, as well as Gerard van Bergen's De pestis praeseruatione, and Galen's De theriaca ad Pisonem and De antidotis. Additionally, this copy is bound with the first edition of Practica Medicinae, by the Swiss physician Johann Jacob Wecker (1528-1586). First edition; 16mo & 12mo (100 x 75 mm); pen trials and short notes to blanks, Everard: 246pp, typographic design to title, blue ink stain to the lower corner of gatherings O and P, occasional spots and marks; contemporary vellum with yapp fore-edge, manuscript titles to spine, one lower turn-in curling up, vellum a little warped, particularly on the lower board, some marks and dulling, titles faded, very good, unsophisticated condition.

First edition (a variant with 246 pages in the second part was published in the same year by the same publisher; no priority has been established). In 17th-century limp vellum. Title lettered in ink on spine. Occasional annotations and underlines by a 17th-century hand in ink. 78 [=98] [4]; 234 pp. The first book devoted entirely to tobacco. "This little work, produced by a physician who is said to have practiced with distinction in Antwerp, appears to have been the first published entirely devoted to the subject of tobacco . a neat compendium of much of the information then available. It was, consequently, popular." (Arents) De herba panacea concerns with the beneficial medicinal properties of tobacco, and describes most of what was then known of this New World plant including its origin, native methods of curing and cultivation, and lore surrounding tobacco. Everard gives numerous recipes, depending on tobacco, for ailments to all kinds of illnesses. The book also contains texts by Castore Durante, Gérard van Bergen, Galen, Jean de Jonghe, and Andrés de Laguna. The book was included in the John Carter Brown Library's 1974-published Rare Americana list (A Selection of One Hundred & One Books, Maps, & Prints not in The John Carter Brown Library).

EVERARD, [Giles]. Panacea; or the Universal Medicine, Being a Discovery of the Wonderfull Vertues of Tobacco Taken in a Pipe, with Its Operation and Use Both in Physick and Chyrurgery.

Later full calf, decorated in blind, gilt-ruled raised spine bands, compartments in blind, marbled enpapers. Light scattered foxing, frontis. lightly chipped, else a very good copy. Wing 3530. Arents 271. Krivatsy 3748. Sabin 23216. Wellcome II, p.537. First published in Latin in 1587, this first edition in English includes parts of Neander's Tobacologia (1622) and is dedicated to "the worthy merchants and planters of Tobacco, for and in the West-Indies and America." The frontispiece portrait shows Everard enjoying a tobacco pipe. From the dedication: "I confes that Tobacco is a plant of Gods making, and it hath many admirable faculties in it, and the fault is not in the leaf, though it be sophisticated by some, and inordinately abused by others; yet there is some reason to suspect, that there hath been much of the cunning of the Devil, and of mans perverse understanding imployed in the large propagation of it, because that Christians, Jews, Turks and Infidels, almost all mankind, who are naturally so averse from all that is good, and prone to nothing but mischief, are so much delighted with it.".…
