A most interesting sammelband featuring two influential works, in good copies, on medicaments and urinoscopy. Johannes Zacharias (late C13?) was an \u2018Actuarius\u2019 (official) at the Byzantine court, and the Emperor\u2019s personal physician. First published in 1539, in Ruellius\u2019s translation from the Greek, \u2018De medicamentorum compositione\u2019 comprises Books 5-6, then deemed to be a separate work, of his \u2018\u0398\u03b5\u03c1\u03b1\u03c0\u03b5\u03c5\u03c4\u03b9\u03ba\u1f74 \u03bc\u03ad\u03b8\u03bf\u03b4\u03bf\u03c2\u2019. Part I focuses types of medicaments (e.g., pills, powder, syrups, antidotes, theriacae, purgatives, ointments), with hundreds of entries listed in a final detailed index, each explaining the main ingredients and preparation. It includes substances, such as \u2018diasatyrion\u2019 (from the roots of satyrion, a species of Orchis), for a great number of conditions, from podagra to diarrhoea, colics, breathing difficulties and rabies. The work of the physician and natural scientist Conrad Gesner, Part II (\u2018Succiduorum medicamentorum tabula\u2019) is concerned with \u2018antiballomena\u2019, i.e., \u2018quid pro quo\u2019 medicaments which can replace others when the necessary ingredients cannot be found. The first section, in Greek, lists dozens of \u2018antiballomena\u2019 from Galen, Discorides and Paulus Aeginetas; it is followed by an explanation with a Latin translation of the \u2018tabula\u2019, with a final part focusing on specific medicaments. First published in 1529 and translated by Ambrogio Leone, \u2018De urinis\u2019 (\u2018\u03a0\u03b5\u03c1\u1f76 \u03bf\u1f54\u03c1\u03c9\u03bd\u2019) is entirely devoted to urinoscopy. It includes a woodcut illustration of the graduated glass which Actuarius was the first to employ for diagnostic purposes. It discusses the origin of urine, its various types and colours, their nature and causes, how to interpret its aspect, texture or residue using the graduated glass, how to study it according to age, sex, lifestyle, etc., and how to infer illnesses from its characteristics. To this are appended Antonio Telesio\u2019s \u2018De coloribus\u2019 – the earliest printed treatise on colours, here translated from the Greek \u2013 discusses the most important colours, providing their Latin and Greek etymology, and examples of everyday items which can clarify what the colour actually looks like (e.g., \u2018pullus\u2019 is the colour of the soil or of a hare\u2019s back), and Paulus Aegineta\u2019s \u2018De crisi & diebus decretorijs\u2019, in Thomas Linacre\u2019s translation, focusing on the \u2018decisive days\u2019 of illnesses, whereby a physician can understand whether the prognosis may turn to better or worse. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
