Scarce work on medicine among the Arabs, referencing Avicenna and Rhazes among other authorities. "The thought of the Arabs was not derivative [...] The original nature of Arab contributions has had an impact on Europe [...] The book by Jacobus Allaxinus found an audience for its treatise [...] on medical topics in the viewpoint of both European and Arabic medicine" (Jordan, The Mentally Retarded, p. 75).
Rare: a single copy in auction records of the last 40 years internationally.
Upper third of spine professionally repaired. Occasional light brownstains to margins, otherwise a very good, prettily bound copy.
