ALPINI (Prosperi): De praesagienda vita & morte aegrotantium, libri septem. In quibus ars tot a Hippocratica (...). Francofurti, Ionam Rhodium, 1601. One volume. 9.5 by 16.5 cm. (16)-806-(2)-(31) pages. Antique full vellum with overlay. Two small vellum tears at top of spine and on one flap. Very good condition inside, despite paper tending to brown. "Prosperi Alpini, Italian physician and botanist, was born in Marostica in 1553, and died in Padua in 1617. To expand his medical knowledge, he left Venice for Egypt in 1580, spending three years in Cairo, visiting the banks of the Nile, Alexandria and the Greek islands. On his return to Italy in 1586, he became physician to Admiral Doria, and spent some time in Genoa. He returned to Padua in 1593, where he became director of the botanical garden. Prosperi Alpini was one of the leading naturalists of his time". Uncommon first edition. As a botanist, Alpini was the first to describe the coffee tree. As a physician, he offered with this work the first modern semiotic treatise (i.e. the branch of medicine that studies the signs and symptoms of a sick subject). Even in the 18th century, the great Dutch physician Boerhaave, who edited numerous editions, was firmly convinced that this work should be recommended to all students. It was published for almost two centuries. Garrison-Morton 2194
