Hippocrates. Octoginta volumina... nunc tandem per M. Fabium Caluum Latinitate donata... nunc primum in lucem aedita..., 1st edition, Rome: Franciscus Minutius Calvus, 1525, 410 leaves, title within ornamental woodcut border (untrimmed, faint library stamp at upper margin), two large woodcut initials, Roman, italic and gothic type, initial spaces with printed guide letters, old marginal pen mark to 2L5v and marginal note to 3M3r, archival closed tear repairs to upper margins of leaves H3-5 not touching text, small tear with loss to lower outer corner of leaf P2 not affecting text, a little spotting and light browning and old dampstaining to upper margins throughout, occasional library stamps to lower margins of text leaf rectos (nine in total), very minor worming to lower margins towards rear and a few trivial single wormholes to upper margins of last few leaves including colophon and final blank, armorial bookplate of Johnstone [probably John Johnstone, 1768-1836, physician and biographer] to front pastedown, 19th-c. morocco gilt, spine darkened, joints tender, slightly rubbed and soiled, folio (280 x 205mm) Although various fragments of Hippocrates` works had been published earlier in Greek and Arabic versions, these eighty works, translated for the first time from the Greek texts into Latin by Marco Fabio Calvo (d. 1527), form the first so-called `complete` Hippocrates. The editio princeps of the Greek texts was published in 1526 [at the Aldine Press]. These eighty texts, the most familiar of which is the Aphorisms, were probably written by a number of authors, but all are in the Hippocratic tradition. This historically important book, along with the massive French translation of Littre in the nineteenth century, must be regarded as the definitive Hippocrates` (Heirs of Hippocrates 10); Adams H567; Durling 2320; Norman 1076; Osler 149; PMM 55; Waller 4495; Wellcome 3177.

Maton, 7 New Street, Spring Gardens, London, to Sir Thomas Phillips, Bart., Middle Hill, Broadway, Worcestershire, November 2nd, 1832, plus Memoirs of Natural Remarques in the County of Wilts, To which are annexed Observations of the same kind in the County of Surrey and Flyntshire, by Mr. John Aubrey, R.S.S. 1685, [ed.

Sir Thomas Phillips], pub. Medio-Montanis [Middle Hill], 1838, pp.1-12 printed pages only [all published], loosely sewn, slim folio. (5). Provenance: The John Buchanan-Brown Collection. In 1660 Aubrey commenced writing a work on the antiquities of North Wiltshire in the style of Dugdale`s ÔWarwickshire`. The information for the work was gathered over a period of ten years and was deposited at the Ashmolean Museum, under the title of ÔHypomnemata antiquaria` in two volumes, Ôliber A` and Ôliber B`. The second volume Ôliber B` was borrowed by Aubrey`s brother William in 1703 and never returned. The lot above comprises three volumes of manuscript transcripts and two printed works relating to John Aubrey`s ÔCollections for Wilts` and ÔMemoires of Natural Remarques in the County of Wilts`, edited by Sir Thomas Phillips and published between 1821 and 1838. The first volume listed forms a manuscript transcript of John Aubrey`s original manuscript (Bodl. Oxf., Ms Aubrey 3, liber A). It formed part of the Phillips collection (no. 10490) and would have been used during the publication of Aubrey`s Collections for Wilts, published in two parts in 1821 & 1838. The Aubrey`s Collection for Wilts, Part 2, in this lot [edited by Sir T. Phillips] forms the 2nd revised printed proof of the work, containing numerous editing manuscript marks and annotations, which were corrected for the final printing. The letter addressed to Sir Thomas Phillips from William George Maton reads, ÒSir, Having, at present, in my possession Aubrey`s MS. History of Wiltshire (from the Library of the Royal Society), I have been made acquainted by Mr. Hudson, the Librarian, with the request contain`d in a letter from you to him, respecting a leaf which has been found wanting in the volume, and I have undertaken to communicate to you, myself the particulars necessary to guide you in your search for the detach`d part of the MS. The leaf missing is that of pages 67 and 68. The last line of page 66 is as follows... Ôbridge the Isle of Ely and other places, provided by nature to the`, the first line of page 69 is Ôfor a plain reason and therefore a dearth succeeds the yeare following`. The length of the folio is rather more than 14 inches, - the breadth about 10. I have the honor to be, Sir, your very obedient servant W.G. Maton. P.S. As I shall return the book to the Royal Society`s Library very shortly, you will perhaps be so good as to send the leaf that is missing (should you be successful in your search) to Mr. HudsonÓ. The physician William George Maton (1774-1835) was educated at Salisbury`s Free Grammar School and Queen`s College, Oxford. He undertook medical studies at Westminster Hospital and became a Fellow of the College of Surgeons in 1802. He was a physician at the Westminster Hospital, 1800-1808; Physician-Extraordinary to Queen Charlotte, 1816 and Physician-in-Ordinary to the Duchess of Kent and to the infant Princess Victoria, 1820. His writings included a catalogue of the plant and animal life around Salisbury, Wiltshire, which was published posthumously in 1843.
