Aphorismorum Hippocratis Sectiones…

12mo, contemporary full vellum, lettered in contemporary hand on spine, [xv], blank, 595, [1], blank, [49, pp., plus one engraved portrait of Galeani. Binding is soiled and stained a bit, with a little wear at the extremities, some notations on front and back pastedowns; internally clean; very good overall. A scarce early 18th century edition of the Aphorisms of Hippocrates. This version is interpreted and paraphrased by Joseph Galeani (1605-1675), and may have originally been published in 1650. A nice little copy of this important work.
