António Luís († ca. 1565), an illustrious physician with encyclopedic knowledge, a follower of the Galenist current, was born in Lisbon probably in the early years of the 16th century. A leading figure in Portuguese Renaissance humanism, with a deep knowledge of Greek language and philosophy, he was known as “The Greek” and nicknamed by Amato Lusitano "utriusque linguae doctissimes". Excellent set of three scientific works published in their original editions. The first two works feature woodcut architectural frontispieces, with the motto Mvsis dicatvm, on the pediments. In the third, the title page is typed. All feature the printer's mark Luís Rodrigues, at the end. Slight (tide) stain on the last two sections; it belongs to the 19th century manuscript, on the title page of the first work ("Dr. J[os]e Fructuoso Ayres de Gouveea Osorio") and the manuscript index on the flyleaf. Otherwise a very clean copy with good margins. Contemporary full sheepskin binding with reconstructed covers, but retaining the original endpapers.
