Cet ouvrage avait paru en latin en 1614 sous le titre "Ars de statica medicina, sectionibus aphorismorum septem comprehensa". Il fut traduit en français en 1695 sous le titre "Science de la transpiration ou médecine statique". Cette nouvelle édition, sous un titre différent, est illustrée d'un joli frontispice, souvent reproduit. Sanctorius (Santorio) (1561-1636) exerça à Venise et à Padoue (où il fut premier professeur de médecine théorique. Cet ouvrage, novateur et devenu célèbre, est représenté par une série d'aphorismes (501 aphorismes réparties en sept sections), résultat de très longues et minutieuses expériences que Sanctorius fit sur lui- même afin de comparer le poids de son corps au poids des aliments ingérés et à celui des excrétions. Sanctorius utilisa, pour la première fois en médecine, un ensemble d'instruments de mesure (balance, thermomètre à air, pulsilogue), inaugurant ainsi la naissance de la physiologie expérimentale moderne.

"The frontispiece of [this edition] shows Santorio's famous balance seat where he spent much of his time eating, working, and sleeping. Over a period of 30 years he weighed his dietary intake and bodily excretions and determined that the amount of the visible excreta was less than what he ate and drank. He concluded that a substantial portion of the weight of his food intake was lost from the body through his skin as 'insensible perspiration.'" âÂÂ" University of Virginia, Claude Moore Health Sciences Library. Issued along with Medico-physical Essays in 1720, this popular text went through many editions, even as late as the early 19th century. Sanctorius (1561-1636) was the founder of the physiology of metabolism. He introduced into physiology exact methods of measurement, pulse counting, temperature determination and weighing. Here Quincy translates into English topics that he feels are the most difficult. Included are aphorisms on insensible perspiration (including plague), air and water, meats and drink. sleep and watching, exercise and rest, venery, and affections of the mind. "John Quincy, medical writer, was apprenticed to an apothecary, and afterward practiced medicine as an apothecary in London. He was a dissenter and a Whig, a friend of Dr. Richard Mead, and an enemy of Dr. John Woodward. He studied mathematics and the philosophy of Sir Isaac Newton, and received the degree of M.D. from the University of Edinburgh for his Medicina Statica Britannica (1712), a translation of the Aphorisms of Sanctorius, of which a second edition appeared in 1720. In 1720 . . . he published a collection of Medico-physical Essays on ague, feberes, gout, leprosy, king's evil, and other diseases, which shows that he knew little of clinical medicine, and was only skilful in the arrangement of drugs in prescriptions. He considered dried millipedes good for tuberculous lymphatic glands, but esteemed the royal touch a method 'that can take place only on a deluded imagination,' and 'justly banished with the superstition and bigotry that introduced it.'" - [DNB].

leather_bound. 119 pages [*7,A8-O8]. 13 1/2 x 9 cm. Engraved frontispiece. Italian physiologist, physician and professor, Santorio initiated his medical practice in Venice, 1599, where he became part of a learned circle that included Galileo. He invented a device he called the "pulsilogium" for measuring the pulse which was the first machine sytstem in medical history. His most famous experiments involve the study of bodily weight. This work made him famous throughout Europe. He was the first to apply a numerical scale to the thermoscope, which later evolved into the thermometer [see: PRINTING AND THE MIND OF MAN 182]. Raised bands, spine panels decorated in gilt, red leather spine label printed in gilt, marbled boards, bookplate, backstrip worn head and foot, front cover joint cracked but firm.

L'auteur y présente, sous la forme d'aphorismes, les résultats de ses expériences sur la pesée. Santorio est considéré comme l'un des fondateurs de la physiologie expérimentale. Il acquit une réputation méritée pour ses recherches sur la transpiration, au service desquelles il mit au point une chaise-balance, représentée au frontispice de la présente édition ; cet appareil, suspendu au plafond, permettait de contrôler les pertes corporelles par le biais d'une pesée systématique. In fine, il servait aux préoccupations diététiques de l'auteur, en permettant de déterminer la quantité saine de nourriture à ingérer au cours d'un repas.

12mo, pp. (xxii), XII, 213, engraved frontispiece showing Santorio in his weighing chair. Title within double ruled border. Modern calf antique. First edition to be edited with a commentary by Dr. Martin Lister. With this book Santorio founded the physiology of metabolism, and introduced quantitative experimentation into biological science. He introduced exact methods of measurement, with himself as the subject. Using the balance as an instrument of weight control, the pulse-clock and the thermometer, he measured pulse-rate, respiration, body temperature and daily variations in weight relative to ingestion and excretion. Throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries Santorio was regarded, with Harvey, as one of the greatest figures in the history of physiology. See G&M 573 (first edition of 1614); also Foster, Lectures on the history of physiology, pp. 145?147.

Patavii, typis J.B. Conzatti, 1710, Kl.8°, (20), 266 pp., mit einer Kupfertafel, die Santorio mit Mahlzeit im "Wiegestuhl" sitzend zeigt, Pergament der Zeit. Das klassische Werk der Stoffwechselforschung! Durch Einführung von Maß und Zahl in die medizinische Forschung ist Santorio zum Begründer der Biometrie geworden. Seine Werkzeuge waren das Thermometer, das Hygrometer, der Pulsmesser und vor allem die Waage. Santorio kontrollierte sein Gewicht auf einer Waage. Mit eisener Konsequenz wog er fast über 30 Jahre die zugeführte Nahrung u. die abgehenden Exkremente, um das Stoffwechselgeschehen messend zu erfassen. Die Differenz seiner Messungen führte er auf die "perspiratio insensibilis", die Ausscheidungen durch Mund und Haut zurück. Das in aphoristischer Form geschriebene Werk liegt hier mit den bekannten Kommentaren von Lister u. Baglivi vor. Santorios Buch war für ein ganzes Säkulum das am meisten verbreitete und gelobte medizinische Buch. Es erlebte 28 latein. Auflagen, und noch Boerhaave lobte begeistert: "Kein medizin. Werk ist mit socher Perfektion geschrieben." Mit Galilei, seinem Freund, war Santorio als Profesor an der Universität Padua tätig.
