Edition: The only movable type edition of this work. Published by Baijuken 梅壽軒, who, in succession to Itokudō 醫德堂, was responsible for publishing many works on medicine and pharmacy in the early Edo period. Most of them, including the present work, were new reprints of Ming editions, as attested by the imprint on the tobira bearing the date Wanli 16 (1588), which reads: 萬曆戊子孟春寶命堂梓. Contents: Commentary on the Lingshu 靈樞, one of the earliest Chinese medical treatises, dealing primarily with internal medicine and acupuncture.
