Description
Original 18th century medical book which contains two different Pharmacopia titles bound together: "Kurtzer Unterricht vom Chirurgischen Feld-Kasten," which is in German and published in 1743 and " Pharmacopoeia Collegii Regii Medicorum Edinburgensis," which is in Latin and undated, but circa about 1752. The book is overall in good antiquarian condition with some signs of wear and age. The leather covers have a fair amount of wear. There is some partial cracking to the leather joints; however, the binding is still good and sound. The back free endpaper and back blank flyleaf are no longer present. There is evidence of some erased writing to the endpapers. The interior is toned from age with some occasional foxing, grubbiness, and mild staining. Some of the pages have some minor period notation. Along with that there is likely the very occasional page with some kind of other imperfection such as a creased page corner, small marginal chip or tear, etc. The book measures approximately 6 5/8 inches by 4 inches and is 304+192 pages long. The first title is illustrated with and engraved frontispiece and two additional plates. Please look at all of the photos to further note the condition.

The book is well protected in the box and package very well. I was very impressed with the packaging in this particular item. I also impressed with the communications that I received from the seller and very pleased with my purchase. I’d highly recommend this individual for other purchases.

Packaged well. Shipped quickly. Item was just as described. I paid $6.50 for each piece of paper to be shipped to me (ordered two). So, it was $13 to ship two pieces of paper in an envelope. That is the only thing I was disappointed in.
