Engraved frontis. port. Title printed in red & black. 4 p.l. (incl. frontis.), 1432 pp., [21] leaves (the first a blank). Thick 4to, cont. vellum over boards. Halle: Literis Orphanotrophei, 1708. First edition and a very fine copy. “Stahl influenced the whole of eighteenth-century medicine; and his imprint is being increasingly appreciated as historians trace his role in the drama of eighteenth-century medical thought...his greatest single medical work which provides in quite massive detail his doctrines of physiology and pathology, and presents his animistic philosophy as incidental to the exposition.”–D.S.B., XII, p. 605. A very fine copy from the library of the Solms ducal library at Lich with their early stamp on title. ❧ Garrison-Morton 69 & 582–“Stahl tried to explain vital phenomena by mystical means. He was the head of the so-called Animistic School which explained disease as caused by misdirected activities on the part of the soul.”
