Fracastoro (Girolamo). De sympathia et antipathia rerum liber unus, De contagione et contagiosis morbis et eorum curatione, libri tres, 2nd edition, Lyon: Gulielmum Gazeium, 1550, printer`s woodcut device to title, woodcut initials, colophon leaf at rear, some old marginalia and underscoring, faint library stamp to title (slightly soiled), dampstaining to final leaves, old illuminated leaf on paper and later old endpaper at rear, the latter with closed tear and ownership inscription of Edward Stanhope (probably the main annotator of the text), BMI presentation bookplate from Dr [Willoughby] Wade to front pastedown, contemporary blind-panelled calf with the cypher W to both covers, rebacked with original spine relaid, 16mo. The second edition of Fracastoro`s classic work on the germ theory of infectious disease. Although his medical poem on syphilis is perhaps more widely known, the present work is a far more important contribution to science, establishes Fracastoro as one of the foremost scientists of all time, and earns him the title of founder of modern epidemiology. De contagione contains the first scientifically reasoned statement of the true nature of infection, contagion, and the germ theory of disease and is the foundation of all modern views on the nature of infectious diseases. The influence of Fracastoro`s ideas was evident during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in the work of Francesco Redi, Giovanni Maria Lancisi, and Antonio Vallisnieri as they contributed to a greater understanding of the nature of infection. Fracastoro`s influence is also clearly reflected in the work of such modern scientists as Louis Pasteur, Joseph Lister, and Robert Koch as they broadened and furthered man`s knowledge of infectious diseases` (Heirs of Hippocrates 174); Durling 1636; G-M 2528; Norman 827; Osler 2652; Waller 3163; Wellcome 2393 - all citing 1546 first edition.

Heirs of Hippocrates 283: In 1552, a small `pocket` edition of the Fabrica was pirated in Lyons but, as it had no illustrations, it was neither popular nor profitable. For that matter, neither the first nor the second splendid folio edition was profitable, either, and the printer, Oporinus, suffered losses on both. By the time of this second folio edition, the plates from the first edition had been copied in England and throughout Europe, and the prospect for sale of a new edition must have been considerably lessened. Even so, the new edition was even more lavish than the first, with heavier paper and larger type, necessitating an entire recutting of the initial letters. Corrections were made in the text by Vesalius with some rearrangement of both the text and the illustrations. The woodcut title-page has always created much interest. It carries considerable dramatic impact and probably fairly represents, with some theatrical touches, an `anatomy` of the sixteenth century. The block for the second edition was entirely recut and, although it closely resembles that of the first edition, there are a few changes. The unclothed man of the first edition, observing from his perch at the left, is clothed in the second edition, `for no other reason that one can see,` comments Cushing, `unless to save the nun`s embarrassment by clothing the naked figure` (Cushing Vesalius, p. 90). The wood blocks were cut in Venice and transported by mule across the Alps to Basel, where Oporinus - artist, printer, and friend of Vesalius - received them with detailed instructions from the author.` Provenance note: An identically dated ownership signature of Guilielmus (Guilielmi) de Mesa appears in the National Library of Medicine`s copy of Estienne`s De dissectione partium corporis humani libri tres (1545).
