PORTA, Gio[vanni] Battista Della [1535-1615].
Della Fisonomia Dell'Huomo, Et La Celeste.Libri Sei.
Venice: Heirs of Gio. Battista Combi, 1652..
3 Parts in 1. 8vo. pp. 15 p.l., 598, [blank leaf]; [16], 190, [blank leaf] 134. engraved title, engraved portrait of the author & 153 engravings in the text (30 full-page; incl. repeats). engraved title vignette. woodcut ornaments & initials. contemporary calf, gilt back (head & foot of spine repaired). First published in 1586, Porta's famous treatise was one of the earliest major texts specifically devoted to physiognomy, the art of determining character or personal characteristics from the form or features of the body. The numerous woodcut text illustrations draw comparisons between the physical features of men and animals in an attempt to relate their nature. These comparisons still persist in our vocabulary in adjectives such as bovine, ovine, lupine, aquiline, assinine, porcine, &c. Mortimer suggests that the engravings in this edition were probably copied from the Vicenza woodcuts used by Pietro Paolo Tozzi. cfBib. Osleriana 3714. cfBrunet IV 825-26. cfGarrison & Morton 150. cfWellcome I 5196-5202. See Mortimer, Harvard 16th Century Italian Books, 398 (this edition mentioned in the notes).

PRINGLE, John [1707-1782].
Observations Sur Les Maladies Des Armées Dans Les Camps Et Dans Les Garnisons.Seconde Édition, revue, corrigée & augmentée sur le septième Édition Angloise.

Second Edition in French of the principal work of the author and the source of his reputation as the founder of modern military medicine. Pringle's remarks, based on first-hand experience and research as Physician-General of the British Army, 1744-52, were largely aimed at disease prevention, and played a crucial role in improving army health conditions. Typhus, malaria, epidemic meningitis, dysentery, and other prevalent army diseases are described in detail, and practical rules of military hygiene, now regarded as essential, are laid down. Pringle was also the first to advocate the 'Red Cross' notion of neutrality of military hospitals on the battlefield. A member of the major European scientific societies, Pringle was elected president of the Royal Society in 1772. In 1774, he became physician to George III. Blake p. 364. cfGarrison & Morton 2150.
