[xx]. [4 (blank)], [2], 187, 215-360 leaves. (12mo), later calf-backed boards, gilt-lettered spine label.

Apparently a very scarce reprinting of Louis Turquet de Mayerne's first French translation of 1603. "Edit. fort estimée."--Caillet 90. This edition not in the British Museum Catalogue, the National Library of Medicine, nor in Wellcome. This copy has been bound without ll. 188-214, a conscious omission by the binder, with his manuscript note at the bottom of leaf 187 to the effect that the leaves that were not bound in were not worthy of the work, and with the first line and a half of leaf 215 crossed out before getting to the worthy portion.
