Sobre este artículo
Rome: Istituto Poligrafico Dello Stato, [1962] Two volumes, consisting of a manuscript facsimile with seventeen full-page illustrations in gold and colors, blue and red initial letters, and text in Latin, and a text volume with six black and white illustrations. Both volumes are quartos. The facsimile pagination is [2], [4], [42] pp. and the pagination for the text volume is [5]-97, [1, blank], [+1, colophon]. Facsimile in full vellum with leather ties. Text volume in printed white paper wrappers with minor creasing to spine and upper corners.. A fine set in a slightly worn clamshell case. Petrus de Ebulo (Peter of Eboli, flourished 1196-1220) was a monk, court poet to Henry VI (Holy Roman Emperor and King of Sicily), didactic versifier, and chronicler who wrote in Latin. His flattering work Liber ad Honorem Augusti, written in Palermo, was dedicated. De Balneis Puteolorum et Baiarum was a medical text by Ebulo written in the thirteenth century. It was the first work about the baths in the Pozzuoli region, which were a natural resource said to have curative properties; there were over thirty near Naples. Eboli based the work on both his personal experiences with the baths and reports from others whose health benefitted from them. The present work is facsimile of the manuscript in the Biblioteca Angelica and contains thirty-seven epigrams and six couplets and shows that its author had a knowledge of contemporary medicine.

Our office is located in Los Angeles on West Third Street, between the Beverly Center and Farmer's Market. Though we gave up an open shop after more than thirty years, we welcome serious customers and dealers. We are normally open from 10 to 6 Monday through Saturday. Since some of our less expensive books are located in a temperature-controlled storage area offsite, you may want to call ahead of time to insure that the book you want to see will be available. We feature a stock strong in literature, history, Western philosophy, women's studies, education, history of science and fine printing and artists' books. We are members of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America and the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers. We have books from the 15th to the 20th century in all prices ranges. We do appraisals for income tax and insurance purposes. We purchase individual books and libraries. Proprietor: Carol Sandberg
