SAVONAROLA, Giovanni Michele (1384-1462). Practica canonica de febribus … Item de pulsibus. Urinis. Egestionibus. Vermibus. Balneis omnibus Italiae. Edited by Cesare Ottato. Venice: Vincenzo Valgrisi, 1561.
2º (313 x 209mm). Double column. Valgrisi device on title and final verso, woodcut initials. (Title with a few stains and marginal repairs on verso, further repairs to margins of first quire and a few other leaves, persistent waterstaining, S2 and S5 heavily browned, Y6- Z1 with dark spots, final leaf soiled and repaired.) Later quarter vellum and cartone alla rustica, manuscript title on spine, coloured edges (covers lightly soiled, surface cracks in spine). Provenance: Bibl. Gustavo Camillo Galletti, Florence (stamp on title – earlier shelf label).
This collection of Savonarola’s works originally appeared in Venice in 1498. Grandfather of Girolamo Savonarola (1452-1498), the author was a prestigious figure in his own right, studying medicine at the University of Padua where he became professor. He subsequently moved to Ferrara as court physician to the Estense court in 1440. His many medical writings were based on the authority of Avicenna, Aristotle, Galen, and Hippocrates but also took into account the growth of contemporary knowledge; the importance of experience and first hand observation is strongly emphasised. NLM/Durling 4086.
