(1671)
Bruxellae, Petrum Hacquebaut, 1671. [xii], 237, [xi] pp. Small folio (20 x 30 cm.). Contemporary vellum (soiled; top & bottom of spine damaged). Title-page printed in red and black. With a very fine, baroque, printed title-page engraved by Jan van Troyen (see Thieme-Becker) showing on top the interior of an apothecary shop, in the middle the figures of Hippocrates, Galenus, Andromachus & Diorscorides, and a the bottom a view of Brussels.
The second edition of the first (1641) Brussels' pharmacopoea. Exceedingly rare, only about 7 or 8 copies known, but no copy in Brussels nor in Amsterdam. A very good inner copy with only a few minor defaults: lower margin of the first 4 leaves frayed with some slight loss of paper; a few leaves with some scattered light soiling in the outer margin; top edges partly stained. Daems & Vanderwiele p 71 ; Volckringer p. 381.
