Halle, Johann Christian Hendel, 1722.

4to. (2), 38 pp. Disbound.

€ 800.00

Only edition; rare. One of the earliest attempts at debunking imagination as a method of medical interpretation. Many explanations so harshly criticised here today have since enjoyed a renaissance in psychosomatic medicine.

Somewhat browned; several contemp. marginalia. Final leaf is wrinkled, showing edge damage with slight loss of text.
