Idea Universae Medicinae Practicae Libris XII absoluta was written by Johannes Jonstonus, a well-regarded Polish physicist and naturalist. He boasted an extensive list of works, covering a range of topics, though more than often he focused on all types of animals.
The Special Collection’s edition was published in 1648, four years after the original work was released, in Latin. Printed in Amstelodami for Apud Ludovicum Elzevirium.
