FIRST EDITION OF THE AUTHOR'S FIRST BOOK.
'THIS FIRST METHODICAL STUDY OF SNAKE VENOM MARKS THE BEGINNING OF EXPERIMENTAL TOXICOLOGY. Redi determined experimentally that, contrary to popular belief, a viper's venom has nothing to do with its bile but was manufactured in two glands and stored in the sheaths concealing the snake's fangs. He studied the effects of snake poison, discovering that it was effective only if injected into the bloodstream, and recommended making a tight ligature above the wound in cases of snakebite to prevent the poison from flowing to the heart' (Norman 1810).
A fine copy in its first binding, from the library of Franz Pollack Parnau, with ex-libris.
Soultrait 17th century 277.
