CELSUS, Aulus Cornelius (ca. 25 B.C.-ca. A.D. 50). Medicinae libri VIII . -- QUINTUS SERENUS, Liber de medicina . Edited by Giovanni Battista Cipelli, called Baptista Egnatius (1478-1553). Venice: Aldine Press, March 1528. 4 o (210 x 135mm). Collation: * 8; a-s 8 t 4; u-x 8. 172 leaves. Blank: t4. Italic type. Initial spaces with printed guide letters. Printer's woodcut devices (Fletcher 8) on title page and x8v. (Occasional light foxing.) Red straight-grain morocco gilt, roll-tooled floral border on sides, spine decorated in compartments, signed at foot by FRANCOIS BOZERIAN JEUNE, roll-tooled edges and turn-ins, gilt edges, marbled endpapers (slight wear to extremities); modern red morocco-backed cloth box. Provenance : scattered 16th-century marginalia; "Count John Reford Library" (later pencilled inscription). First Aldine edition of Celsus. Baptista Egnatius, long-time editor to the Aldine Press, stated in the dedication to Cardinal Ercole Gonzaga that he had studied the works of Hippocrates and Galen in order to produce a more readable text of Celsus, in which difficult and obscure words would be explained with respect to Greek terminology. The Latin medical poem attributed to Quintus Serenus, a compilation of remedies for more than 60 illnesses or injuries, was written during the second half of the fourth century A.D. and remained popular in the Middle Ages. It is not the work of Serenus Sammonicus, a writer of the second century, who has traditionally been regarded as its author. Adams C-1241; NLM/Durling 908; Osler 291; Renouard Alde 1528.1; Wellcome 1397; Norman 428.
