LEONICENO, Niccolò (1428-1524). Libellus de Epidemia, quam vulgo morbum Gallicum vocant. Super-chancery 4° (203 x 151mm). Collation: a-c8 d4(4+1) (a1r title, a1v blank, a2r.v author's dedication to Giovanni Francesco Pico della Mirandola, a3r-d4r text, d4r colophon, d4v blank, d4+1r.v errata). 29 leaves. Roman type 8:87 (reduced and lighter copy of Griffo's Aldine roman 2:114) and greek type 2:114(87) recast on a body small enough to range with the roman. 33 lines, printed marginalia, initial-spaces with guide-letters. (Light marginal stain.)
BINDING: modern vellum, title gilt-lettered on front cover. PROVENANCE: inscription Est Frcij Jó: Ca aph C an F, perhaps Giovanni Francesco Caracciolo called Amphione (ca. 1437 - before 1506, son of Colantonio, favoured by three kings of Naples, friend of Pontano's, author of Amori 1506), who is presumably responsible for five marginal manuscript notes (shaved) including a detailed comment on Galen and why the disease should start at the pudenda
FIRST EDITION of one of the earliest treatises on syphilis, reprinted the same year at Milan. The disease may have been imported from central America, and the first great epidemic broke out at Naples during the French siege of 1495. The author taught medicine at the university of Ferrara and was one of Aldus's Aristotelian editors; Erasmus rated him with Cop and Linacre as one of the humanists to revive medical studies (Bietenholz II, 323). FINE COPY. HC *10019; BMC V, 557; Goff L-165; IGI 6814; Klebs 599.1; Murphy 14; Sansoviniana 18; Laurenziana 12; R 14:12
