Paris: Simon de Colines, 1534. 18th-century vellum over stiff paper boards (neatly repaired), red edges.

            The ninth and most important and influential book of Rhazes' towering medical encyclopedia, this contains his teachings on disease arranged by body part. It was "the most famous textbook of Arabic pathology and therapy in the Middle Ages" (Choulant, tr.) and remained a touchstone long after the Renaissance. The work's popularity meant is was regularly published separately, as here. In good condition, modern bookplate.
