[PESTE] - ISOLIERI Giovanni (XVI-XVII) - Preservativi conservativi et cura delle peste. Milan: Scacabarozzi, 1630.

Unknown edition of this "vademecum" to survive the plague. The remedies listed are contradictory and bizarre; as an example, it is recomended to keep the house clean while at the same it is also recommended to drink own urine and feces. A scarce example of one of the desperate and "miraculous" remedies guide that were proliferating during the Milanese plague of 1630.

8vo (150 x 100mm). pp. 27 (a8, b6). vignette on title (light dampstaining to lower margin, some browning). Contemporary boards (detached, split boards, weak binding).
