CHAMPIER, Symphorien (1472-1539?). De triplici disciplina cuius partes sunt: Philosophia naturalis. Medicina. Theologia. Lyon: Claude Davost for Simon Vincent, 28 February 1508. Four parts in one volume, 8 o (174 x 122 mm). Woodcut illustration on verso of title representing the martyrdom of St. Symphorien, with the author and his wife kneeling in the foreground (three times repeated in the text), some historiated and many ornamental initials (mm3 with small stain affecting a few letters of 6 lines of text). 17th-century pink velvet (evenly discolored to beige) over wooden boards with silver filigree clasps, catches and corner pieces (small portion of the lower clasp missing). [ With :] 17th century book-mark having embroidered head and silk ribbons. Provenance : Geogy Ayrmschmalz (early ownership inscription on title); W.H. Corfield (bookplate); Dyson Perrins (bookplate); purchased from Ida W. Schuman, 8 October 1956 FIRST EDITION. One of the earliest of the French humanists, Champier, a medical graduate of Pavia, physician to Charles VIII and Louis XII was one of the last conciliators of Greek and Arabist doctrine. He planned to bring Hippocrates, Galen, Celsus and Avicenna into a kind of symphonic relation with one another. A man of large and liberal culture, of a truly noble nature, an admirer of learning and a patron of the learned, he exerted the widest and most beneficent influence. P. Allut in his bio-bibliography of Champier (Lyon 1859) notes: "The book De triplici disciplina , printed for the publisher Simon Vincent by Claude Davost, does honor to Lyons printing by its correctness, the beauty of its Gothic type and the paper used." Adams C-1322.
