Brownings and sign of humidity on the margins. Overall a good copy, complete with leaf 148 blank. First and only Aldina edition, by Giovanni Battista Egnazio. This edition also contains, from page 149, the poem 'De mediana' by Quinto Serenus. Garrison-Morton: “The De Medicina is the oldest medical document after the Hippocratic writings. Written about AD 30 it remains the greatest medical treatise from ancient Rome and the first Western history of medicine. Celsus's superb literary style won him the title of Cicero medicorum. De medicina deals with diseases treated by diet and regimen and with those amenable to drugs and surgery. The manuscript... was lost during the Middle Ages and re-discovered in Milan in 1443.” Renouard: «Dans cette édition, plusieurs endroits sont heureusement corrigés d'après un bon manuscrit». The name of the editor, G. B. Egnatio, appears in the preface.
