Gamle & Sjældne Bøger Auktion (før 1700)

Et ekstraordinært, yderst samlerobjekt-venligt sammensat værk der indeholder begge dele af Christian Franz Paullinis (1643–1712) berygtede og provokerende medicinske mesterværk, samlet i én contemporær vellumbindingsbog.
Kendt i folkelig tale som 

An extraordinary, highly collectible composite volume containing both parts of Christian Franz Paullini’s (1643–1712) infamous and provocative medical masterpiece, bound together in a single contemporary vellum binding.
Known colloquially as the "Excrement Pharmacy," this work remains one of the most notorious milestones in the history of early modern folk medicine and alternative pharmacology, detailing the bizarre uses of organic waste, bodily fluids, and animal products to cure ailments from head to toe.
While individual components of later editions are highly valued by antiquarian dealers internationally (with standalone copies of Part II commanding up to $1,100), this specific volume represents a rare opportunity to acquire both the milestone late 17th-century first part and the early 18th-century second part in one unified, contemporary vellum binding.

Detailed Contents & Collation

Part I (1696): The volume starts directly with the crisp and beautifully decorated Page 1 of the main medical text, meaning it lacks the initial general title page and preliminary front matter for the first part. This page marks the official beginning of the work: “Erste Abtheilung. Hält in sich die Kranckheiten deß Haupts. Das 1. Kapittel. Vom Haupt-Wehe” (First Section: Diseases of the Head. Chapter 1: On Headaches), features an ornate woodcut initial letter 'D', and introduces the text's infamous treatments using pigeon dung (Tauben-Roth). The medical text of Part I is complete from page 1 onwards.

Part II: Der Heilsamen Dreck-Apothecke Anderer Theil (Frankfurt am Main, 1714)
• Completeness: 100% Complete.
• Features: Retains its beautiful, crisp original internal title page published by Friedrich Knochen und Sohn and printed by Johann Köllner in 1714. The title page features a striking, detailed woodcut vignette depicting two allegorical female figures flanking a lush floral shield beneath the Latin motto banner: “SPES SOLA DEUS” (God is the Only Hope). This second part was compiled as an essential supplementary extension (Zusatz) to every individual chapter of the first part.

Condition: good. 
The contemporary full vellum binding is structurally intact but shows significant antique wear, including extensive surface patination, handling stains, and edge chafing on the boards and spine (image_11.png, image_12.png). Inside, the paper text block remains soundly bound and fully legible, exhibiting uniform age-browning, light foxing, and minor organic staining
Page in the beginning slightly loosened and minor tears in few pages. Please see pictures of full condition description.
