Trattato della natura de' cibi et del bere / del sig. Baldassare Pisanelli medico Bolognese. Nel quale non solo tutte le virtù, & i vitij di quelli minutamente si palesano; ma anco i rimedij per correggere i loro difetti copiosamente s'insegnano: tanto nell'apparecchiarli per l'vso; quanto nell'ordinare il modo di receuerli. Distinto in vn vago, e bellissimo partimento, tutto ripieno della dottrina de' piu celebrati medici, & filosofi: con molte belle historie naturali.
