1699 Japanese Acupuncture Illustrated Woodblock Medicine Shinkyu Bassui Taisei
A rare, 17th-century Japanese woodblock acupuncture and moxibustion manual. This treatise is presumed to have been originally written by the famous Chinese Physician Emporer, KO-TEI (or HWANG Ti).
"The detail available in Shinkyu bassui, especially regarding descriptions and instructions for use, is impressive-no less than 22 sections consider the following aspects of moxa and acupuncture: theory; relationship to the pulse; stomach; other internal organs; treatment (which was differentiated by sex); the "philosophy" of acupuncture; cautions in the use of acupuncture and moxa; the preparation and use of moxa cones;" how to remove needles (including a separate section on needles which are broken off in the skin); how to twist the needle; how to hit the needle (with a mallet); how to use the needle with a tube;'2 the use of needles (with a separate section on their use in the treatment of boils); on the names of spots (not the "right spots") where-with extreme caution-acupuncture and moxa can be used (regarded as "secret" spots, not for the use of beginners in the art); how to measure for location of sites to apply treatment; on needles in general; on names and lengths of bones; and, finally, on interrelations among nerves. It should, therefore, not come as a surprise to the reader to know that Shinkyui bassui was a widely quoted work in subsequent writings on the subject. Some of the illustrations contained in this work are apparently the originals of those reproduced in the section on moxibustion and acupuncture in FUJIKAWA's classic history of medicine in Japan, the Nihon igakushi (1904, et seq.). In 1698 or 1699 Shinkyu bassui was also "explained" by Ippo OKAMOTO and published as Shinkyu bassui taisei, with additional illustrations. (Mestler)
This 1699 edition is 'Shinkyu Bassui Taisei' by Ippo Okamoto. Ippo Okamoto was a writer of medical texts, taking Chinese medical texts and 'explaining' them in Japanese for the Japanese people. This can be seen in the heavy use of furigana, Japanese sound characters next to the Kanji (meaning characters) for easier reading.
Works similar to this are exceedingly rare. A truly unique piece.

Along with Juvenal, Persius was one of the greatest 1st century Roman satirists. His works consisted of elements of stoicism and were greatly influenced by Horace and Juvenal, in fact the satires of both Juvenal and Persius are often found published together. In his 'Satires', Persius sought a few major philosophical ideas:
·
important questions to ask the gods
·
the meaning of life
·
the importance of gaining knowledge
·
freedom through Stoicism
·
the proper use of money
This 1507 post-incunable printing of Persius's 'Satyrae' was published in Paris by Jean Barbier and Denis Roce. This edition was edited by Giovanni Britannico, a 15th-century grammarian who is best known for his edition of Persius.
This book is bound with another early Roce printing of Baptista Mantuanus poetry. Mantuanus was a Carmelite poet whose 15th-century works were influential during the Protestant… Read More

An important, 16th-century medical treatise by Orazio Augenio! 'De Ratione Curandi' includes a wide variety of medical topics but most famously covers the use and benefits of bloodletting. Known as one of the best Italian physicians of the Renaissance, Augenio incorporated his fondness of Galen into his philosophy-based practice – practices that regularly treated the plague and neuropathology.

George Anson was an 18th-century British Navy admiral who is noted for his important world voyage in which he circumnavigated the globe. This voyage, beginning in 1740, was initiated in order to disrupt Spain and their acquisitions from the Pacific – even though the squadron saw certain danger.
"Anson's voyage is remembered as a classic tale of endurance and leadership in the face of fearful disasters" (Rodger, 239)
He saw substantial victory by capturing Spanish ships carrying pieces of eight, silver, and other treasure; thus, allowing Anson to return home a very rich sailor. This voyage took Anson and company into South America and home by way of China – a true world voyage!
Authorship of this work is held with some ambiguity. According to the DNB and Sabin,
"A claim was made that the work was written, not by Mr. Walter, but by Mr. Benjamin Robins. This has never been substantiated except by mere assertion; and… Read More
