Gerardi Van Swieten - Commentaria in Hermanni boerhaave aphorismos de cognoscendis et curandis morbis - 1745
Total 4 volumes (1-2-3-4) by Gerard Van Swieten, printed in 1745, in what should be his first edition. The author is a Dutch doctor who rewrote the history of medicine, also thanks to his teacher, Boerhave, reconciling Hippocratism with iatrochemistry and iatromechanics.
Van Swieten is known for the famous and homonymous liqueur he produced for the treatment of syphilis.
Among the most beautiful chapters of this work, so to speak, are the studies on the treatment of fevers, syphilis and rashes.
The conditions are as per photos, excellent!
Guardia's pages are partly torn or absent. Spines and covers in good condition, with one exception for volume 3 which has a tear at the base and a slight detachment from the tome in the lower area.
The pages have some signs of humidity and some stains.
Absence of signs of wormholes.
