B e c h i u m, verteutscht. Franckfort a. M., Peter Schmidt in Verl. S. Feyerabendt,
1580. Folio. Illustrated with 270 extremely interesting woodcuts of a large size
(many full-page) by H. R. M. D. (Hans R u d o 1 p h e Manuel Deutsch). In
an old binding of wooden boards, covered with richly blind stamped pigskin of
scrollwork and ornamentical borders, one clasp. 480.—
Graesse I, 43. Ferguson, Bibl. Chem. I, p. 10. Very interesting book, especially
esteemed for its remarkable woodcut illustrations by H. R. M. Deutsch, whose monogram occurs in
some of the cuts. (See Passavant I, 77; III, 437. Nagler, Mon. IV, 3729.) It contains also one of the
earliest accounts of the use of the divining-rod for discovering
metals. At the end is a vocabulary in German and Latin, of the terms used in mining, and the
device of Feyerabend. George Bauer, latinized A g r i c o 1 a, was born at Glauchau in Saxony,
March 24, 1490 (or 1494?). At Leipzig he began the study of medicine, physics and chemistry, visited
Italy, where he took the degree of Doctor of Medicine and settled at Joachimsthal as physician among
the miners. He died at Chemnitz in 1555.
Slightly stained and some small wormholes at beginning, otherwise a good copy.

1146 Albertus Magnus. Das Buch der Haymligkaiten Magni Alberti, von Artzney vnnd
tugenden der Krautter, Edelgestain, vnd von etlichen wolbekandten Thieren. N. p.
(? Augsburg) 1544. 4*°. 40 unn. leaves with sign. With large woodcut on title. Half
vellum, covered with incunablepaper. 200.—
A very interesting and rare medical book of Albertus Magnus, the famous philosopher, in
which he deals at first with woman, then with several herbs and their healing power, then with
precious stones; the fourth group contains reflections upon some animals and their organs. After this
follows a chapter on the stars and the times of their rises arranged according to the weekdays; and
lastly come some directions for several illnesses, especially for the plague.
The woodcut on title shows two learned men in a room, the left holding a vessel and looking
at it, the right bending over a medical work at a desk, at their feet some herbs.
A good and perfect copy of this curious popular booklet, there are a few wormholes
in the upper blank margins and numerous MS. notes by a former reader.
