First edition published in Italy (apparently the second outside London), of the Latin Pharmacopoeia Bateana, an internationally authoritative collection of pharmacological recipes and prescriptions compiled posthumously from the papers of the British physician George Bate (1608-1668/69) by James Shipton, first published at London in 1688. Generally known as the Pharmacopoeia Bateana, it went through many editions in Latin, was translated into English and remained a standard reference until the end of the 18th century.
The present edition appears to be the first to include Jacob Le Morts Chymia, though it had been published separately.
