Italian doctor (1628-1694) who gave his name to several physiological features and played an important part in the discovery of the microscope and study of human physiology. LS in Italian, seven pages, 8.25 x 12, no date, but circa 1680. Important and lengthy seven-page medical prescription handwritten by his colleague Antonio Fernini. The two physicians diagnose a nobleman’s illnesses and prescribe diverse remedies.

Seventeenth century medical analyses of this length and importance, especially signed by Malpighi, are very rare. RRAuction COA.
