This work was unsurpassed until Littre's great work appeared 250 years later." Garrison-Morton 6793. Foesius (1528-95), studied medicine at Paris and returned to his native city of Metz to become a city physician. In addition to his medical duties and daily practice, he was a classical scholar who concentrated on the study of Hippocrates and his works. The fine medallion portrait of Foe on the verso fo the title-page was executed by the French engraver Pierre Woeiriot (ca. 1531-ca. 1589) and appears only in first editions of the book (ABE DEALER 2008).   REFUNDS: All ViewFair books, prints, and manuscript items are 100% refundable up to 14 business days after item is received.   InvCode       E  2k H   V      VIEWFAIR BOOKS:   004315         Place a Bid!
