Description

This catalogue is the first comprehensive treatment of the collection to be published, and has over 2700 entries, including material added in the 1990s. The book also includes an Introduction by Peter Thomas, plus indexes of subjects; co-authors, editors, biographers; owners.
The great names in medical history are represented-Hippocrates, Galen, Vesalius, Paré, Jenner and many others, and among the scientists-Galileo, Kepler and Boyle. And the subjects covered by the collection include 'hard' medicine and science as well as herbalism, hypnotism, phrenology, navigation, agriculture, tobacco, winemaking, astrology, alchemy and acupuncture.
