De tuenda sanitate studiosorum et literatorum. Libri duo. Giessen, Caspar Chemlin, 1615. In-12, olive green morocco, gilt coat of arms in the center, spine ornamented, the caissons delimited by double fillets and charged with a repeated numeral, gilt edges (Binding of the time). First edition of this curious hygienic treatise for the use of scholars, students and academics, written by Gregor Horst (1578-1636), a German physician and anatomist who had created a department at the University of Giessen where dissection sessions were practiced. It is bound afterwards: JESSEN (Johannes). Adversus Pestem consilium... Giessen, Caspar Chemlin, 1614. First edition. Johannes von Jessen (Jessensky) (1566-1621), a Czech physician who taught anatomy in Prague and was the personal physician of King Rudolph, studied remedies against the plague, in particular mithridate and theriac. Copy with the arms and figure of Jacques-Auguste de Thou (1553-1617), eminent magistrate, historian and great bibliophile of the Renaissance. The arms on the boards are those of the collector together with those of his second wife, Gasparde de La Chastre. Handwritten mark in ink characteristic of the library of the Prince of Soubise on the upper flyleaf. From the library of Edme Hermitte, with his bookplate. Slight uniform foxing, inherent to the poor quality of the paper used at the time in Germany. Darkened spine.
