Brasavola (auch Brassavola, Ferrara 1500-1555), berühmter Leibarzt zeitgenössischer Kaiser u. Päpste, "besaß eine große Drogensammlung, eine der ersten, die es gab" (Ferchl). Beschreibt als erster in seiner Schrift "De Morbo Gallico" die Symptome der Syphilis. "Among his many works were an authoritative concordance of Galen and this popular work on herbal medicine, first published in 1536, in which he introduced several new drugs into the pharmacopeia. The work is in the form of a dialogue among Brasavola, an old apothecary, and an herbalist. It is a lengthy treatise and shows that, while he had made significant advances in presenting his material and in his methods, he had not entirely succeeded in freeing himself from the traditional lore and superstitions of the past" (Heirs of H.). - Durchgehend etwas gebräunt, anfangs auch wasserrandig.
