Joannes BUSAEUS [Jean BUYS] Panarion, hoc est Arca medica variis divinaee scriptinae priscorumque patrum antiolotis adversus animi morbos instructas‎

Joannes BUSAEUS [Jean BUYS]

Panarion, hoc est Arca medica variis divinaee scriptinae priscorumque patrum antiolotis adversus animi morbos instructas‎

Jean Pillehotte, Lyon 1609, Fort in-8 (10,5x18,2cm), (16) 1030pp. (25), relié.


First French edition, after the first edition published in 1608 in Mainz, where the author worked as a teacher. Illustrated with a title-frontispiece, allegory of the 7 deadly sins represented by monsters, Christ in medallion at the top with his feet on a seven-headed dragon.
Contemporary beige morocco, spine elaborately decorated in gilt, sides with central gilt armorial stamps, full quartered arms on the lower plate, boards elaborately framed in gilt using the same tools as the spine, with gilt cornerpieces, gilt edges, traces of laces. Upper spine restored, as well as spine-ends. Brown stain to second board, 1cm in diameter. Leaf 553, a hole to the lower margin, a few pale traces of foxing, some rubbed spots.
A very fine copy in an elaborately decorated early 17th-century Italian armorial morocco binding with the arms of the Duke of Magenta, Alfonso Brentano.
The Panarion is a curious encyclopedia of mental illnesses viewed as immoral behavior and classified according to biblical vices and virtues. The author examines 83 vices and 75 virtues, and adds a biblical remedy for each. Originally, the Panarion listed known heresies. One of the first works on moral psychology.
