Book plate of Romanian urologist Erwin W. Ruguendorff at front, some faint older signatures on first front blank. A scarce work on urine by Heinrich Martini (1612-1675), a German theological and medical scholar who wrote on various subjects, including the use of black hellebore in medicine. In this work on urine, his focus is on the "galeno-spagyric" elements of medicine, stemming from the work of Galen, as well as Paracelsus and Thrunheuser, which sought to purify and transform various medicines by separating them into their primordial elements before recombining them. There was a fair amount of overlap between practitioners of spagyrics and of alchemy. Martini's work is followed by a short work by Odoni (d.1571), who was a botanist and professor of medicine at Bologna, who also wrote on the classics. OCLC 79753083 (the USTC listing only references the 1659 date and is a bit confusing). ; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall.
