CONCOREGIO, Johannes de (c.1380-c.1440)
De aegritudinibus particularibus – De curis febrium. Pavia: Antonius Carcanus, 1485.
Sole incunable edition of this medical treatise, modelled on the writings of the Arabs. Concorregio was born in Milan around 1380, became a professor in Bologna in 1404, was then in Pavia and Florence, finally returning to Milan in 1439. He is thought to have died in Pavia sometime around 1440. Very rare on the market, with only one complete copy selling at auction in the past 50 years (this copy). HC *5615; GW 7291; BMC VII, 997; BSB-Ink C-505; Bod-Inc C-415; Goff C-803; ISTC ic00803000.
Chancery folio (275 x 193mm). Complete with A1 and a1 blanks, A2r with a large illuminated initial with partial border and with illuminated coat of arms in lower margin with floral border, illuminated initials on leaves L2r and O8r, initials, paragraph marks and capital strokes in red and blue, borders ruled in pencil (A2 and final leaf with small marginal repairs, quires M and P faintly browned, otherwise mostly fresh, clean and wide margined with just A2 trimmed at foot into illumination and marginalia trimmed on D6). Remboitage of blind-tooled calf over wooden boards from a Bible (rebacked, covers rubbed and scored, lacking brass fittings and clasps). Provenance: evidence of stamp removed from margin of A2 – ink marginalia in an early, probably contemporary, hand – Francesco ?Portidi (late 16th-/early 17th-century ink ownership inscription of a doctor on A1r).
