The work includes a Latin translation of Rhazes' commentary, the first work on smallpox. Mead (1673-1754) was physician to George I and II and to Isaac Newton, and an advocate of inoculation and his influence helped towards a more general acceptance of this measure. He also was the first to attempt the organisation of preventative quarantine in cases of "pestilential contagion." - Visit our website to see more images!
