Burton, Anatomy of Melancholy, 1652 6th ed.

Item Details

Description

Heading:
Author: [Burton, Robert] Democritus Junior
Title: The Anatomy of Melancholy. What It Is, with All the Kinds, Causes, Symptoms, Prognosticks, & Severall Cures of It...
Place Published: London
Publisher:H. Crips & Lodo Lloyd
Date Published: 1652
Description:

[6], 78, [6], 723, [11] pp. Engraved title, with facing "Arguement of the Frontispiece". (Folio) early calf, manuscript spine title. Sixth edition, second issue.

Quite possibly the most celebrated medical book ever written by a layman. With the 1652 title leaf, 1651 Cripps and Crook colophon as final leaf. Last edition to incorporate Burton's revisions and additions. Burton (1577-1640) continually changed and augmented his work and prepared six editions of this book before his death. On being asked why he chose such a subject, he replied, "I write of melancholy by being busy to avoid melancholy." Wing B6182. Madan 2165. Jordan Smith 6.

A work of far-reaching influence, proposed as a medical treatise but expanded to treat the whole life of man, including social and political reform as well as bodily and metal health. In his argument, Burton draws upon a very wide body of literature, from the Bible and the Fathers, through Greek and Latin classics, to the Elizabethan writers; his book thus becomes a store-house of miscellaneous learning, and it has come to be regarded in that light rather than as a medical work.

Condition

Binding rubbed, front hinge tender, numerous ownership inscriptions to ffep, slight general wear to volume but better than expected; very good.
