"VD 16, M 6767 - Hirsch-H. V, 737 - vgl. Norman 2140 (Basel 1544) - diese Ausgabe nicht bei Adams u. Wellcome. - Zweite Ausgabe der Bearbeitung durch Vesalius, die erste erschien im gleichen Jahr in Louvain. Alle Ausgaben sind selten u. im Handel kaum nachweisbar. ""Vesalius's first published work was his emendation of the ninth book of al-Razi's 'Almansorem' ... Finding the available Latin translation of al-Razi's writings to be marred by obscurities, errors and transliterations of Arabic words, Vesalius made stylistic improvements, identified drugs by their contemporary names, and added marginalia noting classical viewpoints or casting doubt on some of al-Razi's remarks"" (Norman, edition 1544). Zu Al-Razi (Rhazes) vgl. ausfuhrlich Hirsch-H. I, 170 ff. (arabische Medizin). - Etwas gebraunt u. stockfleckig. Einige Lagen mit Wasserfleck in der oberen Aussenecke."
Lot Note This edition is extremly rare and on the market marginal detectable. Vellum of the 19th century with title on spine. - Slightly brownish and foxed. Several tears with water spot in top corner outside.
