‎A classic work on prognosis (Editio tertia).""Alpini's interest in medicine was expressed in several books, of which the most importent were ""De Medicina Aegyptiorum"" (1591) and ""De praesagienda vita"" (1601) (the third edition offered here)...Alpini was sufficiently impressed by novel therapeutic practices to introduce the technique of ""moxa"" into European medicine. The ""De praesagienda vita"" is a detailed study of prognosticss in which attention is devoted to the patient's mental state and its bearing on health, as well as to he usual physical and diagnostic signs.""(DSB I, p. 125). - Waller: 372. - Wellcome II: 36 (but not this edition). - Garrison & Morton: 2194.‎
