Very scarce. Nicander of Colophon (185-135 b. Chr.) was the author of several important medical poems. « Of toxicological works the Theriaca and the Alexipharmaca of Nicandros of Colophon have survived. The Alexipharmaca deal with intoxications through vegetable (also animal and mineral) poisons and the appropriate antidotes. In spite of many superstitious statements this work though little quoted by medical authors, had a wide circulation and deserved high appreciation. Nicandros is the first writer to mention use of the leech » (Neuburger). — The first Greek-Latin edition of this interesting work. — Some leaves with large, but faint waterstains, worm- hole through the lower blank margins of first leaves, otherwise good copy.
