Provenance: Michael Bultelius (signature on title page, early marginalia partly in his hand); Petrus de Guidt (inscription "Sum Petri de Guidt sacerdotis Eckensis", deleted purchase note, and motto "Orandum est ut sit mens sana in corpore sano" on endleaves, early marginalia partly in his hand); G. Mustella (signature on pastedown).
FIRST EDITION of Caelius Aurelianus' Latin translation of Soranus' treatise on acute diseases, the counterpart to his work on chronic diseases (see Norman 386). In the combined treatises, Soranus' "strict separation of acute and chronic diseases was made with remarkable clarity and excellent power of clinical observation ... the work also regularly cites the doctrines of earlier authors" (DSB). This edition was prepared by Johann Guenther von Andernach, Vesalius' teacher, using a manuscript owned by the Paris physician Jean Brayllon.
