Medulla Distillatoria et Medica quartum aucta & renovata...

Hamburg: ex bibliopolio frobeniano, 1614.

2 volumi in 1 in-8° (mm 185x155). Pagine [12], [24] (con cartolazione 1-12), 13-628, [36]; [8], 630, [38]. Frontespizi in inchiostro rosso e nero. Esemplare con le usuali bruniture e con alcune piccole pecette ai bordi esterni di poche carte d'indice, ma bella copia. Legatura coeva in piena pergamena con titoli manoscritti al dorso e risvolti. Minimi difetti. Timbro Biblioteca Haffnerianae al frontespizio.



Ferguson I, 461-462 censisce altre edizioni e non questa ma afferma che «a second part of the Medulla was published in 1614, after his Death [...]. His book was successful, as it seems to have passed through a number of editions. The enumeration of these is not very satisfactory as some are undated, and it is not easy to make the edition tally».
