[MEDICINE] HIPPOCRATES; CORNARIUS, Janus (translator).
Hippocrates coi Medicorum Omnium Longe Principis, Opera quae apud nos Extant Omnia.
Lugduni [Lyon], Antoine Vincent, 1562.
Janus Cornarius (1500-1558) was a gifted humanist scholar who edited and translated classical medical works, particularly on pharmacology. Erasmus addressed him as 'ornatissime Cornari' ('oh-so-refined Cornarius') and extolled his translation of Hippocrates: 'The genius is there; the erudition is there, the vigorous body and vital spirit are there; in sum, nothing is missing that was required for this assignment, confronted happily, it would seem, despite its difficulty'.
Later Janus Cornarius edition; 8vo (16 x 10.5cm); woodcut initials, contemporary ownership signature to the title and a few small notes in the contents, light dampstain affecting the final 20 leaves of text, occasional light spotting to the rest of the contents; early 19th century calf, spine gilt in compartments with floral and star tools and roll with birds to the tail, triple gilt fillets, gilt roll to turn-ins, marbled endpapers, all edges dyed red, small worm hole to the spine, dampstain to upper board, a few other small scuffs and marks; very good condition; 542pp.
