HAEN, Anton [Antoine, Antonus] de, 1704-1776 DE MAGIA LIBER. [The Book Of Magic].
Lipsiae [Leipzig], Johann Paul Kraus, 1774.
FIRST EDITION. Octavo, contemporary full calf, the spine with raised bands and decorated in gilt within compartments, title label printed in gilt, pink paste endpapers, all edges gilt.. [xxxii], + 316 pp + errata page. Embossed Masonic Library stamp on title leaf, small bookseller's catalogue entry affixed to rear pastedown, neat owner's signature on title page. Some minor wear to the binding, otherwise a very well-margined, exceptionally clean copy. ¶ De Haen was a Dutch physician from the H a gue, one of the greatest students of Boerhave. He lived and worked in Vienna and became the personal physician to Queen Maria Theresa. He was one of the first physicians to make routine use of the thermometer in medicine, he also made use of ele ct ro -therapy. He wrote numerous works concerning medicine, magic, the supernatural and the combination of all three as found by observation and reference to scripture. De Haen believed in magic as well as miracles, and was commissioned by Queen to ru n a hospital for the examination and treatment of the possessed. The work discusses various types of divination, the laws of the Church and the authority of the Church Fathers on Magic, and authors who have denied the existance of magic and wav ed t he q uestion as to whether the physician may, by certain signs, diagnose a natural ailment from one caused by magical art. Caillet 4924 [listing the 1775 edition]; Dorbon 2074 [also citing the 1775 edition] "possibly one of the most curious wor ks on Magi c"; de Guatia 1440 [1775 edition] "curious and rare".
