- Notes: Fifth(?) edition of a work first published in 1472, in which the author (1257-circa 1315) sought to reconcile conflicting opinions of Greek, Roman, Arab, and Jewish authors on various medical and scientific or pseudo-scientific subjects. This edition is the first to include the illustration and also contains the text of his De venenis and of Petrus de Carariis, De terminatione venenorum. Another edition supposedly printed earlier in 1496 by Luc'Antonio Giunta (Klebs 773.5) is probably a ghost; see Camerini, Annali dei Giunti 31. Hain 4*; Goff P435; Essling 889; Sander 5638; Klebs 773.6; DSB I, 4; Sarton III, 439-40; Thorndike II, 874-947.
