AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

HOFMAN (Caspar)
Treatise on Fevers, with an index of notable things, now first published. Georgius Cotta and Henricus Reisii. Tübingen, 1663.
[In the sequel:] Three treatises on the use of the spleen according to Aristotle, on the brain according to the same, and on the humors, enlarged and corrected.
At Thomas Matthias Götzium. Frankfurt, undated (1664?).

Two works bound in one volume, 12mo (12 x 8.5 cm), 347 pages and 302 pages. Half vellum with corners, smooth spine with title label (Italian binding from around 1800). Signs of rubbing on the binding. Interior in good condition.

The pairing of these two rare works by the German physician Caspar Hofmann (1572-1648) reflects his view that medical research should be conducted in ancient texts. The frontispiece of the second work nicely illustrates this idea, since the portrait of the author in a medallion is surrounded by the figures of Galen and Aristotle.
