1699 Japanese Acupuncture Illustrated Woodblock Medicine Shinkyu Bassui Taisei

A rare, 17th-century Japanese woodblock acupuncture and moxibustion manual. This treatise is presumed to have been originally written by the famous Chinese Physician Emporer, KO-TEI (or HWANG Ti).

"The detail available in Shinkyu bassui, especially regarding descriptions and instructions for use, is impressive-no less than 22 sections consider the following aspects of moxa and acupuncture: theory; relationship to the pulse; stomach; other internal organs; treatment (which was differentiated by sex); the "philosophy" of acupuncture; cautions in the use of acupuncture and moxa; the preparation and use of moxa cones;" how to remove needles (including a separate section on needles which are broken off in the skin); how to twist the needle; how to hit the needle (with a mallet); how to use the needle with a tube;'2 the use of needles (with a separate section on their use in the treatment of boils); on the names of spots (not the "right spots") where-with extreme caution-acupuncture and moxa can be used (regarded as "secret" spots, not for the use of beginners in the art); how to measure for location of sites to apply treatment; on needles in general; on names and lengths of bones; and, finally, on interrelations among nerves. It should, therefore, not come as a surprise to the reader to know that Shinkyui bassui was a widely quoted work in subsequent writings on the subject. Some of the illustrations contained in this work are apparently the originals of those reproduced in the section on moxibustion and acupuncture in FUJIKAWA's classic history of medicine in Japan, the Nihon igakushi (1904, et seq.). In 1698 or 1699 Shinkyu bassui was also "explained" by Ippo OKAMOTO and published as Shinkyu bassui taisei, with additional illustrations. (Mestler)

This 1699 edition is 'Shinkyu Bassui Taisei' by Ippo Okamoto. Ippo Okamoto was a writer of medical texts, taking Chinese medical texts and 'explaining' them in Japanese for the Japanese people. This can be seen in the heavy use of furigana, Japanese sound characters next to the Kanji (meaning characters) for easier reading.

Works similar to this are exceedingly rare. A truly unique piece.

Description:
1683 1ed James Ussher Power of Kings vs Church Ireland Charles II England RARE

"What is it which all men especially desire? Eternal life and happiness?" ¬
– James Ussher

James Ussher was an early 17th-century Archbishop in the Church of Ireland who is most remembered for giving an exact date to the beginning of creation. His full body of work includes letters, sermons, dissertations, and exegesis but this work focuses solely on improving the Christians life and strengthening their faith.

One of Ussher's lesser-known books was his 'Power Communicated by God to the Prince. This work, which was dedicated to Charles II of England, seeks to answer the question 'Where does a magistrates power come from - from Heaven or from Men?'. Ussher notes the church's inherent power over ecclesiastical governments, but also the conflicts that come from a power struggle between church and external governments.

This first 1683 first edition is exceedingly rare and valuable. It was one of the important Ussher… Read More

Description:
1602 HERBAL Castore Durante Herbario Nuovo Plants Medicine Illustrated Mattioli

Castore Durante was a 16th-century Italian scholar who is best-remembered for his major work "Hebrario Nuovo". This work, which was first published in 1585, is a collection of descriptions of plants and their medical uses and healing properties. The plants detailed in this work were from Europe and the East and West Indies with information on how to identify them in their indigenous environment. According to Hunt,
"This was a popular Italian herbal that was reprinted in Italian, and translated and published in several other languages, for a number of years. The plant descriptions are written in the form of poems which Arber describes as 'pleasingly unscientific"

This highly coveted and desirable 1602 second edition is extremely valuable much in part to the hundreds of in-text woodcuts in the style of Mattioli.

1699 FAMOUS Louis Moreri Historical Dictionary RARE Encyclopedia HUGE 4v SET
Originally published in 1674, Louis Moreri's "Grand Dictionaire Historique" was an encyclopedia focused on historical and biographical articles. The original French and English edition were critical in giving rise to more other dictionaries, such as Pierre Bayle's "Critical Dictionary". While this work was highly influential during its time, it was eventually replaced as the preeminent reference work when Diderot's 'Encyclopedia' was printed.
This 1699 massive four-volume edition was published in Paris by Denys Mariette.

Description:
1799 Romance of the Rose Lorris Medieval de Meun Flamel Alchemy STUNNING 5v

"The more a man gazes on what he loves, the more he sets fire to his heart and bastes it with bacon fat."
― Guillaume de Lorris, The Romance of the Rose
The 'Roman de la Rose' is a famous 13th-century Medieval French poem written as an allegorical dream sequence. It was written by Guillaume de Lorris who sought to express the feelings of romantic love, sexuality, and chivalry. It was completed by Jean de Meung who continued the work begun by Lorris. Thought to be the most widely read book other than the Bible in the 13th- and 14th-centuries, it was highly influential on other authors, notably including Geoffrey Chaucer.

This absolutely stunning
18th-century edition was published in Paris printed in five beautiful vellum-bound volumes. This particular edition is of note, not just for containing the 'Roman de la Rose', but also a preface by Clement Marot, Meung's 'Life of Jean Clopinel', a short treatise on the alchemy of… Read More

Description:
1534 1ed Apian Instrumentum Astronomy Mathematics Alchemy Durer ART Trigonometry
Peter Apian was a 16th-century humanist who is remembered for his studies in astronomy and mathematics. One of his best known works was his 1534 mathematics treatise 'Instrumentum Primi Mobilis'. This book was Apian's studies in trigonometry, and, according to Tomash & Williams,
"Apian published a table of sines that, for the first time, was based on a circle with a radius of a power of ten, in this case one hundred thousand. The values of the functions were thus decimal and were easily adapted to any situation in which the defining circle was a decimal power."
This 1534 first edition is exceedingly rare and valuable. It contains the expected sine charts as well as numerous woodcut illustrations depicting protractor and arc readings. Note that this incredible work includes the original title page, which features a woodcut after Albrecht Durer.

A Note From Fred Rogers: A child's first visit with a pediatrician usually comes soon after birth. It may be months or even years later, though, that a child first shows fear about going to see a doctor. The worry of an injection or some other unfamiliar medical procedure can trigger that fear. It can also appear because another family member may be feeling medical anxieties. And, of course, new body awareness and needs for privacy develop naturally in children's early years, so all these feelings can make it very hard for them to let doctors investigate the workings of… Read More
