Leoniceno, Nicolo

FIRST MEDICAL TEXT ON SYPHILIS.

Leoniceno, Nicolo. Nicolai Leoniceni Vicentini, Philosophi & Medici clarissimi, opuscula: quorum catalogum versa pagina indicabit. Per D. Andream Leennium Medicum, à multis quibus scatebant vitijs, repurgata, atque annotatiunculis illustrata. Basileae: Apud And. Cratandrum, et Io. Bebelium, Anno mdxxxii [1532]. 321 x 216 mm (12.5 x 8 ¼ in). Folio. [4], 175, [1] ll. In Latin. Final leaf misnumbered ‘157.’ With Cratander’s device as a title vignette and final unnumbered leaf with Bebelium’s device on verso. Woodcut initials. Bound in early vellum over boards, with heraldic stamp on both covers (that we were not able to identify). Leather spine title label with gilt lettering, with publication place and year beneath in ink. Red speckled edges. Ink inscription in an old hand on verso of front free endpaper states (in French): [“M. Brunet, in his Manuel du Libraire, quotes a rare minor work by Leoniceno; he did not indicate this collection, which informs everyone, and which, itself, is not common.»] Autograph on title page: “Ex Libris: Dr. Paul Decoux, Paris, 1869.” Blind embossed stamp on edge of title page: “Decoux, Docteur en medicine a Treignac (Correze).” The same stamp appears in numerous places throughout the book. Ink stamp with a facsimile of an autograph on verso of title page. Decoux also signed the title page verso and beneath the colophon on the verso of leaf 157. Very good or better overall. Minor damage to spine; boards scuffed and some soiling, with a small gouge to the front cover revealing the board beneath. A few gatherings mildly age-toned; but a crisp, solid, wide-margined copy, exhibiting little wear.
