Hermippus Redivivus...

Hermippus Redivivus, or the Philosophical Trimph of Hermes, Faithfully Extracted from his Chemical, Physical, and Medical Arcana; Exhibiting A Method by Which Human Life May be Prolonged for Many Years by a Dietetic Regimen, and a few cheap Infallible Medicines, Communicated Long Since by Hermippus the First; and Now Published with Notes and a Dedication to that Learned Physician and most Excellent Man, Dr. Richard Mead. Ce traité explore les thèmes de la longévité et du rajeunissement à travers une perspective historique et philosophique. Johann Heinrich Cohausen examine les écrits et les théories attribués à Hermippus, les interprétant à la lumière des connaissances médicales et chimiques de son époque. L’œuvre offre un aperçu fascinant des conceptions anciennes de la santé, de la nutrition, et de la recherche de l’immortalité, tout en reflétant les débats scientifiques et philosophiques du XVIIIe siècle. Son approche érudite et sa quête de sagesse en font un témoignage précieux pour ceux qui s’intéressent à l’histoire de la médecine et aux aspirations humaines vers une vie plus longue.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
