[c. 1640.] 18th cent, panelled calf binding. The identity of the Author has been established by the reference on 1.63 v to the ‘edition of my Institutiones Chirurgicae’ which was published at Frankfort in 1634 (c/. Haller) : and to ‘my Chymical Labratory [sic] shortly to be publish’d (I.81), as well as to his ‘Great Chirurgery’ where he says on 1.8, alluding to the ‘Antipathy of Spirits’, ‘which here in this Compendium we shall not further discourse on, it may be done in my great Chirurgery’. Now the entry in Jocher’s ‘Gelehrten Lexicon’, Vol. I, col. 151 s.v. ‘Agricola’ ends, ‘Versprach auch “Chirurgiam magnam” und “Laboratorium chymicum” zu publiciren, starb aber noch 1643 in 54 Jahr seines Alters ’. In the text are several allusions to incidents in his life, and accounts of cases he treated ; among others ‘for Anno 1631, in the great plundering at Thuring I was stabbed in two places, the arm and the left breast, I had noe body to dress it, and was besides a captive stripped and naked . . .’ The latest date given in the text is 1633 on l-73 v . Johann Agricola was an iatrochemist and a strong partisan of Paracelsian doc trines. [Cf. Ferguson ‘Bibliotheca chemica’, Vol. I, pp. ix, 12.] The work has not been published either in the original German or in English. Purchased 1934.
