Rare first edition of the pharmacopoeia of Rotterdam. This pharmacopoeia was only published in Dutch unlike other (Dutch) pharmacopoeia that would appear only in Latin, or in a later Dutch translation. The included privilege notes that a copy should have been given to the Leiden University Library, but there are no copies of this edition recorded in their catalogue.
Boards slightly rubbed, some minor damage to the hinges, the four preliminary leaves partly detached and some spots throughout. Nonetheless still a good copy. Daems & Vanderwiele, p. 174; STCN (4 copies); WorldCat (8 copies, incl. 3 the same).
