Types 4:130G (title), 3:92G (text). 19th-century pastepaper boards. Provenance : formerly the third item in a Sammelband (no. 3 on title page); Munich, Royal Library (armorial bookplate, inkstamps, withdrawn duplicate stamps of the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, a1r and b4v). FIRST EDITION. According to legend, Hippocrates was called in by the townsmen of Abdera to treat the philosopher Democritus when he was considered to have lost his mind. Democritus, however, after conversing with the physician, convinced him that he was sane. This story was recounted in a letter allegedly written by Hippocrates to one Damagetus but probably composed in the first century A.D.. The text was translated from the Greek by Rinuccio Aretino (da Castiglione), who after studying in Crete early in the fifteenth century, returned to Italy where he taught Greek, to Lorenzo Valla among others, and translated Greek texts into Latin (see D.P. Lockwood, "De Rinucio Aretino graecarum litterarum interprete," Harvard Studies in Classical Philology , 24, 1913, p.89). This Latin edition of the letter to Damagetus also includes three Latin poems by Dietrich Uelsen, who is attested as a physician in Nuremberg, Lbeck, Mecklenburg and other German cities at the end of the fifteenth century. A friend of Conrad Celtis and Hartmann Schedel Ulsenius published several poems on medical subjects. His verses on syphilis, first printed in Nuremberg on 1 August 1496, were reprinted with a modified ending in Augsburg before the end of the same year; the new conclusion, on the subject of a cure for the disease, is among the poems printed here (see K. Sudhoff, Erstlinge der Syphilisliteratur , Munich 1912). Ulsenius' poetry survives in part in manuscripts that belonged to Hartmann Schedel and the letter to Damagetus is also found in a manuscript copied by Schedel.
