Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. MASSA, NICCOLÓ (1489-1569). Liber de febre pestilentiali. Venice: F. Bindoni & M. Pasini, 1540. FIRST EDITION. Small 4 to. Early, possibly contemporary, Italian boards with old renewal of endpapers. 76 leaves. Contemporary marginal annotations and manuscript on verso of last leaf. Old marginal staining in places, more so at the end, wear to spine along cords; a good to very good copy. This very scarce early book on pestilential fever is noted in the various medical histories, but little is written about it. Its author is the celebrated pre-Vesalian anatomist, Niccoló Massa, a graduate of Padua and a teacher and practitioner in Venice. Maasa's treatise includes an early description of typhus epidemics. When Maggs Bros. Ltd. of London offered a copy in their 1929 catalogue, they commented: "He wrote several books, this one, on small-pox, being consulted even up to the present time." It was, as well, recognized as a significant book in its day as suggested by Gesner's inclusion of it in his 'Universal Library' of 1545 while he did not include Massa's 'Liber introductorius anatomiae' of 1536, see Thorndike, vol. 5, p. 514 and D.S.B. 9: 165-166.

Third(?) edition, by the printers and publishers of the first, of a famous treatise on syphilis by the Italian physician Niccolò Massa (1489-1569), professor of anatomy in Venice. It stresses the important role sexual intercourse plays in the contraction of syphilis, though he also believes it could arise spontaneously without sexual contact. He gives a comprehensive description of the symptoms and effects of the so-called French disease (the French sometimes called it the Neapolitan disease), including its neurological manifestations, and discusses the role of diet, sleep and exercise, together with the use of drugs, bloodletting, leeches and guaiac in the treatment of syphilis. The first edition is dated 1507, but was actually published in 1527. It is Massa's best-known work and remained popular throughout his life.With numerous early manuscript annotations in the margins. These have been attributed to the pioneering French surgeon Ambroise Paré (ca. 1510-1590) but we have not confirmed the attribution. With the title-page border and some of the manuscript annotations very slightly shaved, but otherwise in good condition, with some water stains in the lower inside corner of the last 3 quires and a darker marginal stain in the last. The binding is rubbed and the boards slightly warped.l Durling 2993; Hirsch IV, 160; ICCU (9 copies); Waller 6300. 19th-century panel-stamped and blind-tooled parchment sewn on 4 recessed supports, each board with a large panel stamped centrepiece and the (owner's?) initial B in each of the four corners, shell-marbled endpapers, blue-sprinkled edges.

(Heirs of Hippocrate N° 197) ---- "MASSA a graduate of Padua, taught and practical in Venice. Perhaps his best-known work is the present treatise.

FIRST EDITION. 8vo. ll. 76. Roman letter. Several later ll. a bit browned, occasional light inkstaining, spotting or dustiness, mostly marginal, a good copy in C18 quarter sheep over marbled boards, rubbed. Autograph visible to upper blank margin of second l., 'Petri Fenriali'(?), occasional C16 marginalia, faded and illegible. Rare first edition of this work on fevers by the Italian physician and anatomist Niccolò Massa (1489-1569), credited as being the first to describe cerebrospinal or intraventricular fluid. Taking a Galenic position and seeing fever as a corruption of the humours by pestilential air, Massa advocates prevention by adequate ventilation of houses. The last section discusses buboes and other swellings associated with plague and their treatment. Massa's work on fevers was influenced by personal family tragedy: in this work he cites the fatal case of his father Apollonio (f. 12v), that of his brother Tommaso (f. 13r) - fate unknown - and his sister and nephew, both of whom survived the typhoid epidemic of 1527 (f. 61r). Typhus killed his brother Antonio in 1529 (see Richard Palmer, 'Niccolò Massa, His Family and his Fortune' in Medical History, 25 (1981), pp. 388-9). The book also contains references to outbreaks of plague in Venice during the 1530s and to local efforts combatting plague, including the quarantine hospital on San Lazzaro in the Venetian Lagoon, now occupied by Armenian monks.

Venise: Francesco Bindoni & Maffeo Pasini, 1540, Kl.-4°, 76 ff., feiner Pappband. Rare First Edition of the "Liber de febre pestilentiali, ac de pestichiis, morbillis, variolis, & apostematibus pestilentialibus. Venetiis, apud Franciscum Bindonem, & Maphaeum Pasinum maxima diligentia excussum. Mense Iulii. Anno a Virgineo Partu. M. D. XL. With early inscription "Ad Baptista Zucculii usum" on title-page and in probably the same hand "Costo [undeciphered] 25. bononie 1579 die 21 januarii [undeciphered] 327" on free end-paper; later signature "Genesii Soncini[?] M.D." on rear free endpaper; circular censor's stamp "Prof Pietro Tonelli Censore Stati Estensi" on title and a similar stamp (name illegible), dated Regio, 1839; from Walter Pagel library (paperslip pasted on flyleaf). Niccoló Massa's (1489-1569) third publication, the "Liber de febre pestilentiali" came out in 1540, and later the opportunity presented by the epidemics in Venice in 1555-6 was seized for a reprint, it "is dedicated to Elizabeth, duchess of Hesse and princess of Saxony, largely because of her kindness toward Massa's favorite nephew, Appollonio. This work discusses the nature and treatment of plague, fever, and smallpox as well as their after-effects in the form of pockmarks and other disfigurements. Case histories are presented, such as those of Niccoló Bianchi, a seventy- year-old sailor, or Maestro Francesco Marino, a cleric of St. Anthony of Padua. Massa's own father Apollonio, "eques aequoris," died of fever (fol. 12v) when Massa was fourteen years old (i.e. in 1499); his case history is given in detail. The tragic deaths of the years 1527 and 1528 by floods and subsequent plague in Italy are referred to from an eyewitness point of view. Massa's brother Thomas also died of fever, "quo tempore nondum eram medicus," "at a time when I was not yet a physician" (fol. 13r), i.e., before 1521, when Massa was studying medicine at Venice. In 1530 a heat wave drove farmers from the fields, killing many. The inhalation of noxious vapors as a cause of disease was illustrated by the fate of those who descended to clean an old well at Venice, witnessed by Massa. Public health and the means of preserving it seem to have concerned Massa deeply, to judge from his remarks on street and canal sanitation at Venice (fol. 24v): "Civitas ab omni sorditie et immundicie purgetur." Not only the city but its immediate environs should be cleaned. Hospitals also were to be built in healthful locations. His friends, Girolamo Marcello and Vincenzo Ricci, addressed in his Introduction to Anatomy, are mentioned again at the opening of the second tractate. Here he deals in greater detail with the means of preserving an entire community from pestilence, as, e.g., preventing those infected from moving to or from the city and by strict isolation. Many foods and drugs are mentioned in his recipes, including the juice of lemons and oranges. It is in fact remarkable how much space Massa employs in the discussion of proper foods. The proper use of sexual relations, sleep, and exercise are also carefully discussed, together with the proper control of one's feelings and passions. The case history of Gaspare Butafiioco, of the district of St. Peter, who recovered from an attack of fever in the unhappy year 1527, is related; that year saw all Italy afflicted by plague. The even more detailed history of a twenty-five-year-old virgin who fell ill at the end of August, 1527, shows Massa's ingenuity in improvising treatment. Finally, his sister Vincenza and his nephew Appollonio were stricken in 1527 with pestilential fever, but recovered to live into their old age, saved by Massa's skill." L.R.
