Paris: Gilles Gorbin, 1557. First Edition with the Latin translation and commentary of Adrian l'Alemant. It is preceded by the 1529 edition with translation and commentary by Janus Cornarius. Stillwell mentions a 1542 edition but it is not listed in the other bibliographies or on Worldcat. "The first book ever written on medical geography, climatology, and anthropology." (G & M) "In the book Airs, Waters, and Places, […] written by Greek physician Hippocrates in the 5th or 4th century bce, the first systematic attempt was made to set forth a causal relationship between human diseases and the environment. Until the new sciences of bacteriology and immunology emerged well into the 19th century, this book provided a theoretical basis for the comprehension of endemic disease (that persisting in a particular locality) and epidemic disease (that affecting a number of people within a relatively short period)."

Vazquez Menchaca was an outstanding Spanish legal scholar of the sixteenth century. Jose Antonio Maravall refers to him in Carlos V y el Pensamiento Político del Renacimiento (Madrid, 1960) as "el más negador de la idea imperial". Writing during the reign of Philip II of the earlier reign of Charles V, it was Vazquez Menchaca who most vigorously challenged the notion of an imperial sovereignty which transcended that of the monarchies comprising the Holy Roman Empire. Two further volumes were published, each consisting of three parts. Palau 354052.

Magdeburg: Paulus Donat for Ambrosius Kirchner, 1587. First Combined Edition of these two travel narratives to the Holy Land (first separately published in 1519 and 1525). German Dominican friar, Buchardus de Monte Sion traveled to the Middle East between 1274 and 1284, being one of the last pilgrims to travel to the Holy Land and write a full report before the fall of the Latin Kingdom in 1291. He visited Palestine, the principality of Antioch, the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia, and Egypt. His work is described as being of "extraordinary importance", "the most detailed account to have come down to us from the thirteenth century" and "in a class of its own among the many mediaeval descriptions of the Holy Land." (see Wikipedia) Barthélémy de Salignac of Burgundy, knight, jurist and protonotary of the Papal Curia, undertook his journey to the Holy Land in 1522. He set out from Venice and visited Corsica, Crete, Candia, Rhodes, Cyprus, before arriving in the Holy Land, which is described in books 5 to… Read More
