‎ Rare édition de la "Basilica chymica", un des ouvrages majeurs de la médecine paracelsienne. Divisé en trois parties: 1) "Préface admonitoire" dans laquelle l'auteur discute les doctrines de Paracelse. 2) la "Royale chimie". 3) Le "Traicté des signatures" dans lequel l'auteur indique les rapports des plantes avec les différentes parties du corps humain. In fine, on trouve les symboles utilisés à l'époque pour représenter les substances chimiques et minérales. Quelques bois gravés dans le texte. "Croll or Crollius was born at Wetter in 1580, studied at Marburg, Heidelberg, Strasburg, Geneva, travelled, and became phisician of Prince Christian of Anhalt-Bernberg. In medecine he was an adherent of Paracelsus, and invented several remedies. The first edition of the "Basilica chymica" was published at Franckfurt, 1608." (Ferguson) "The "Basilica chymica" became the standard scientific work of iatrochemistry. ... In sharp contrast with Paracelsus' vagueness, Crollius describes in detail the individual preparations, their composition, and their application. This explains why the book became such a great success, running to many editions and occasionning many commentaries." DSB 3, 471. Légères rousseurs. Un petit manque au bas du dos.
