威尼斯:J. Rubeus,1493

The book is regarded as one of the finest medical classics from the Roman Age. As one of the most widely circulated texts of the period, the book gives a detailed account of medicine and surgery in eight volumes. This incunabulum, printed in 1493, exemplifies the transition from manuscript to printed text as spaces were left for illustrated initial letters to be added later.

此書被認為是羅馬時代的醫學經典之一。作為當時其中一份流傳最廣的文本,此書以八卷篇幅,對醫學和外科進行詳細介紹。這本印製於1493年的搖籃本,內文間有空位以備補入起首大寫字母,保存了書籍從手稿過渡至印刷本之面貌。
