This edition is valued for its instructive examples on the management of pawns in the endgame. He was the first Dutchman to write a book on chess and probably also the first person to come up with the idea of random chess also known as shuffle chess a chess variant whereby the starting position of the main pieces is chosen at random. He wrote that he hated openings "with all those annoying constantly repeating patterns" and therefore thought of randomizing the starting positions of the chess pieces.

FIRST GERMAN EDITION of this important work on anatomy partnered with the work of Philippi Verheyen Anmerckungen In Die Anatomiam Blancardi. Brieff An den weitberühmten Hrn. Friedrich Ruyschium.<br> 'Verheyen was a prolific writer including several books and manuscripts. His main work published originally in Latin the “Corporis Humani Anatomiae†was translated into multiple languages as here. This book became one of the most used anatomy books of the time.<br> The following excerpt of his book "Corporis Humani Anatomiae Liber Primus" reads : " . QuintusAuricularis quia cum minimum sit auribus expurgandis est aptissimus" translates as".the fifth finger called Auricularis because how small it is is most suitable to clean the ears". Incredibly anatomists at that time called the fifth digit "digitus auricularis".<br> Verheyen is credited with the creation of the eponym the “Achilles tendon†which denominates the common tendon for the gastrocnemius and soleus muscle although at the time he called it the “Chorda Achillisâ€. He also described the kidneys in detail especially the arterial “stars†found on the surface of the kidney which are today known as the “Stars of Verheyen†'. E. A. Miranda 2014 M.T.D.

1770159238Paris: Chez l'Auteur sur le Quay de l'Horloge 1770. Updated edition of 1714 map. Near fine. 52 x 69 cm hand-coloured map. Centrefold. Bottom corner chipped. <br/><br/>An updated edition of Delisle's important map of the Northern Hemisphere. When first printed in 1714 Delisle's map was the first to correctly place the west coast of North America by moving it farther east from previous mapping. California is correctly shown as a peninsula not an island. However this edition continues the coastline of the Pacific Northwest with a large island labeled Foufang that is apparently Chinese and serves as the western boundary of a large Mer de l'Ouest. Other conjectural rivers and lakes including Lake Valasco appear to the north. A rudimentary Alaska is named Presqu'Isle du Nord-Ouest. Bauche improved upon the depiction of Japan although Hokkaido Isle du Jeso is still not shaped correctly. Only a small remnant of the Terre de la Compagnie appears near Hokkaido. <br /> <br />Delisle or de l'Isle 1675-1726 was the son of a cartographer and a pupil of Jean Dominique Cassini who among other important contributions aligned the study of astronomy to the study of geography. Under Cassini's direction observations were made from locations all over the world that enabled longitudinal calculations to be made with much greater accuracy. Delisle continued his work with dedication constantly revising and improving his maps. Chez l'Auteur sur le Quay de l'Horloge unknown

178791319Paris: Veuve Ballard 1787. Fine. Veuve Ballard Paris 1787 19.6 x 25.5 cm Relié Complete year for 1787 with 50 issues of this health journal with continuous pagination pagination error between nos. 48 and 49. Contemporary half marbled sheep smooth spine bronze sheep lettering-piece rubbing to the spine domino-patterned paper boards a few scuffs to the boards corners worn and small nicks to the edges red edges contemporary binding. The journal founded in 1773 by Jean-Jacques Gardane doctor-regent of the Faculty of Medicine of Paris would run for 17 years with one volume per year except for the years 1773-1774. Jean-Jacques Gardane distinguished himself in the establishment in Paris of treatment houses for the poor and in the diffusion of fumigation boxes intended to revive the drowned and the asphyxiated of all kinds. From 1776 onwards the journal would be written by a society of physicians and Pinel was probably among the new editors from the end of 1784. The journal then played an important bibliographical role; scientific news was carefully reported but the periodical is especially notable at this stage for its declared fight against charlatanism and the section devoted to hygiene is particularly well represented; it is not impossible that it was written by Pinel himself see Roselyne Rey in Dictionnaire des journaux. Manuscript annotations in black ink on the verso of the front board. Veuve Ballard hardcover
