(Nicholas Massa, of Venice, Doctor of Arts and Medicine, “Treatise on Syphilis,—a Work of extraordinary Hability and Competence”. Joannes Almenar, of Valencia (in Spain), Philosopher and Physician, “A Treatise of the greatest Utility on Syphilis, embracing in Seven Chapters all Information required”; Nicholas Leonicenus, of Vicenza, the most faithful Translator of Galen, “Compendious Treatment of Syphilis”; Angelus Bologninus, a highly renowned Physician, “Pamphlet on the Treatment of External Ulcers: and on Ointments applied in Broken Continuity as mostly Employed by the Moderns, wherein are included many Particulars concerning the Treatment of Syphilis.” (no place of publication) 1532. 8vo.).
This Work was in the Sloane (Sir Hans Sloane), and in the Trew (Christopher James Trew) Libraries. Astruc, II. p. 652. conjectures that the book was printed at Venice; which Haller, Bibliotheca Med. Pract. (Library of Medical Practice), I. p. 535. wrongly gives as proved.—Comp. Girtanner, II. p. 70., Gruner, Aphrod. p. V.

In the copy from the Sloane Library which Astruc, II. p. 659., had before him, was, printed on the same paper and with the same type, although the Title-page made no mention of it: Nicholas Poll, Medicinae Professoris et Sacrae Caesareae Majestatis Physici, Libellus de Cura Morbi Gallici per lignum Guajacanum (Nicholas Poll, Professor of Medicine and Physician to the Holy Roman Emperor, Pamphlet “On the Treatment of Syphilis by the Guajac wood”. Gruner, Aphrod. p. V., who possessed the same edition, does not mention this, but says the book is printed without pagination, and that each book has a separate Title (nova cuique libro inscriptione praefixa,—a fresh Title being prefixed to each book), so that a Part might easily be missing. Trew and Hensler also possessed the Work. Comp. Girtanner, II. p. 73.
