About This Item
VERY RARE ITALIAN TRANSLATIONS OF GALEN'S "DE SANITATE TUENDA" AND HIS OBSERVATIONS ON THE DISEASES OF THE SOUL AND THEIR CURE
FIRST EDITIONS. 8vo, 2 works in 1 volume: ff. [8, 2 of which blank], 157 [i.e. 165], [3 blanks]; 28 [i.e. 26]. Italic letter, a little Roman. Woodcut printer's device on both t-ps. Large historiated initials and two engraved diagrams in the text to the first volume. Early title handwritten on foot fore-edge. C19th stiff vellum with overhanging edges, gilt lettering to spine over two morocco labels (red and green), marbled endpapers. An excellent copy, fresh and very clean.
First and only editions of these Italian vernacular translations of two important works by the Greek physician Galen. The first work is "On the Preservation of Health" and the second concerns the diseases of the soul and their cure. The translator was Giovanni Tarcagnota, a humanist and antiquarian from Gaeta. The first work includes the "placet" of PauI III and the privilege, and it is dedicated by the printer and editor Michele Tramezzino to Domenico Veniero d'Andrea, whom he had already dedicated his issues of Marsilio Ficino's and Arnaldus de Villa Nova's works on the preservation of health. The dedicatory letter of the second work addresses Francesco Gattola. Argelati (Biblioteca degli volgarizzatori, II, p.107) deems this a "bella edizione accennata dal P. Paitoni, benchè appena". The "Biographie Universelle" (Firenze, 1842, II, p. 932), translated by Felice Scifoni, relates that the first work was later reduced to a "Compendium" by Giuseppe Galeano, who published it in Palermo in 1650, while the second work is defined a "valuable opuscule" and "not common at all".
EDIT16 CNCE 20186 and CNCE 20188.
