NLM Turning the Pages Update
The National Library of Medicine’s History of Medicine Division is proud to announce that a new Turning the Pages Project has been released on the Web: http://archive.nlm.nih.gov/proj/ttp/books.htm. The project features Hieronymus Brunschwig’s Liber de Arte Distillandi, printed in Strasbourg in 1512. The book is a practical manual on chemical, alchemical, and distillation devices and techniques used to manufacture drug therapies, and it features a number of hand-colored woodcuts featuring scenes of laboratories, distillation devices, and doctor patient scenes. It includes instructions on how to distill aqua vitae, potable gold, artificial and natural balsams and how to use distillates to treat illnesses in surgical cases. This is a great site for those interested in digital technology and rare books.
