Halle: Imprensis Orphanotrophei, 1725. First edition. Juncker (1679-1759), professor of medicine at the University of Halle, was closely associated with two of the outstanding chemical and medical theorists of the early 18th century, George Ernst Stahl and Friedrich Hoffman, both of whom also taught at Halle. One of Stahl’s most gifted and prominent disciples, Juncker “published numerous dissertations and books that expounded and developed Stahlian ideas in chemistry and medicine... “By effecting a clarification in Stahlian theory and methodology, Juncker played a significant part in the development of his mentor’s ideas as a major force for reform in eighteenth-century chemistry. His concern with the broader implications of Stahl’s work, transcending other, more narrow approaches that focused on phlogiston, prefigured the orientation of important groups of chemists in Germany and France at mid-century.”–D.S.B., VII, p. 188. The present work is based on Stahl’s theories and presents a series of pharmaceutical recipes in twenty tables. Very good copy. Bookplate of Joseph Claude Anthelme Recamier (1774-1852), the noted French surgeon. ❧ Partington, II, pp. 688-89.
