Inaugural Medical Dissertation. 1823 First Edition Pp. 44 Berlin Formis Bruschckianis Modern grey paper tape holds the pamphlet together; no covers. Ownership stamp of Dr. Bassermann-Jordan (Deidesheim) to the title page, with his ex libris on the verso. Slight foxing throughout. Good copy. Pamphlet published a inaugural dissertation submitted to the University of Berlin for the highest honors in medicine and surgery by Langheinrich, on the topic of wine as medical remedy. The dissertation ranges across viticultural history, fermentation, the medical efficacy and harms of wine, and forensic questions of artificial alteration and adulteration. It combines oenological and toxicological perspectives and cites Rozier, Fabbroni, Thenard, and Hahnemann. The dissertation unites classical learning, contemporary chemical discussion, and medical theory. The text opens with wine history (references to Noah, Georgia and Armenia, Syria, Egypt, Homeric vineyards), and the vine's spread into Germany and Gaul; then treats production and fermentation (ripe grapes, must, carbonic gas) and the diversity of wines by locality, cultivation, storage, age, and Galenic qualities. it moves into medical efficacy with citations to Homer, Plato, Galen, Pliny, and Avicenna. Later sections treat artificial improvement and a forensic chapter on adulteration (arsenic, corrosive sublimate, alum, vegetable colourants, brandy, aromatics, belladonna, excess sulphur) with detection methods; the dissertation concludes with the author's curriculum vitae. A Latin medical dissertation rooted in ancient history and myth, chemistry, medical authorities old and new, and decidedly modern tests for adulteration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"La Fenice Antiquaria","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48097364934891,"sku":"118-1823--120-50-46104.8875","price":201000.0,"currency_code":"KRW","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0766\/2000\/5611\/files\/00118_IMG_7436copy.jpg?v=1776194051","url":"https:\/\/fenicebooks.com\/en-kr\/products\/langheinrich-de-vinis-1823","provider":"La Fenice Antiquaria","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
