Hardcover. Condition: vg. Limited edition. Folio.IX, [1], 128, [4]pp. Original brown leather with gold tooling on covers and gilt lettering on spine. All edges gilt. Marbled endpapers. Remarkable facsimile of the first (Venetian) edition published in 1491 of the Fasciculus Medicinae, a "bundle" of six independent and quite different medieval medical treatises. The collection, which existed only in two manuscripts (handwritten copies), was first printed in 1491 in Latin and came out in numerous editions over the next 25 years. Johannes de Ketham, the German physician routinely associated with the Fasciculus, was neither the author nor even the original compiler but merely an owner of one of the manuscripts. The topics of the treatises cover a wide spectrum of medieval European medical knowledge and technique, including uroscopy, astrology, bloodletting, the treatment of wounds, plague, anatomical dissection, and women's health. The book is remarkable as the first illustrated medical work to appear in print; notable illustrations include: a urine chart, a diagram of the veins for phlebotomy, a pregnant woman, Wound Man, Disease Man and Zodiac Man. Binding and interior in as new condition.…
