Lot N. 240
Riflessioni sopra gli effetti del Moto a Cavallo
Author: Giuseppe Benvenuti
Printed in Lucca in 1760 by the Giusti Press, dedicated to Countess Amalia Mniszech.
Quarter-folio volume, rigid binding with a label added by a former owner indicating the author and title; only the spine is in vellum, with the title gilt on the spine. Decorative headpieces open each section, and an initial capital appears in the dedication.
The text is an interesting treatise on the beneficial effects of horse exercise on certain human illnesses; in fact, the volume anticipates what is now known as hippotherapy, emphasizing its positive impact, particularly on blood circulation.
Volume in good condition, with some light humidity stains, complete.
