fol.).
The Work is rare; and appears only to have been seen by _Astruc_, II.
p. 623. Comp. _Girtanner_, II. p. 41. _Gruner_, Aphrodisiac. pt. IV.
2) _Nicolai Massae_, Veneti, Artium et Medicinae Doctoris, Liber de
morbo Gallico, mira ingenii dexteritate conscriptus. _Joannis Almenar_,
Valentini Hispani, Philosophi ac Medici, Liber perutilis de morbo
Gallico, VII capitulis quidquid desideratur complectens. _Nicolai
Leoniceni_, Vicentini, fidissimi Galeni interpretis, compendiosa
ejusdem morbi cura. _Angeli Bolognini_, Medici eximii, libellus de cura
ulcerum exteriorum: et de unguentis in soluta continuitate a Modernis
maxime usitatis, in quibus multa ad curam Morbi Gallici pertinentia
inserta sunt s. l. MDXXXII 8.
(_Nicholas Massa_, of Venice, Doctor of Arts and Medicine, “Treatise
on Syphilis,—a Work of extraordinary Hability and Competence”.
_Joannes Almenar_, of Valencia (in Spain), Philosopher and Physician,
“A Treatise of the greatest Utility on Syphilis, embracing in Seven
Chapters all Information required”; _Nicholas Leonicenus_, of Vicenza,
the most faithful Translator of Galen, “Compendious Treatment of
Syphilis”; _Angelus Bologninus_, a highly renowned Physician, “Pamphlet
on the Treatment of External Ulcers: and on Ointments applied in Broken

many Particulars concerning the Treatment of Syphilis.” (no place of
publication) 1532. 8vo.).
This Work was in the Sloane (Sir Hans Sloane), and in the Trew
(Christopher James Trew) Libraries. _Astruc_, II. p. 652. conjectures
that the book was printed at Venice; which _Haller_, Bibliotheca Med.
Pract. (Library of Medical Practice), I. p. 535. wrongly gives as
proved.—Comp. _Girtanner_, II. p. 70., _Gruner_, Aphrod. p. V.
3) _Liber de morbo Gallico_, in quo diversi celeberrimi in tali
materia scribentes medicinae continentur auctores, videlicet _Nicolaus
