Praeses : Claud. Antonio Renard Resp. : Le Thieullier Ludoviens Petrus Felix Renatus Augustin Friedrich Walther "Anatom wurde am 26. October 1688 in Wittenberg geboren. Seine medicinischen Studien machte er seit 1705 an den Universitäten zu Wittenberg und Jena unternahm 1709 eine größere wissenschaftliche Reise die ihn nach Holland und England führte erlangte nach seiner Rückkehr 1711 in Wittenberg die philosophische 1712 die medicinische Doctorwürde und habilitirte sich 1713 als Docent an der Universität zu Leipzig. Hier wurde er nach einander 1723 Professor der Anatomie und Chirurgie 1730 Director des botanischen Gartens 1732 Physicus der Stadt Leipzig und Professor der Pathologie 1737 Professor der Therapie. In letztgenannter Stellung wirkte er bis zu seinem nach langem schwerem Leiden am 12. Octbr. 1746 erfolgten Lebensende. Walther hat sich um die Universität Leipzig durch Ueberlassung eines werthvollen Theils seiner eigenen Bibliothek an die Universitätsbibliothek sowie durch Stiftung eines ansehnlichen Stipendiums für Medicinstudirende verdient gemacht. Er war ein beliebter Arzt und Lehrer und hat eine außerordentlich fruchtbare schriftstellerische Thätigkeit auf den verschiedensten Gebieten der Heilkunde entfaltet. Wichtig sind namentlich seine Leistungen für die Erweiterung unserer anatomischen Kenntnisse hinsichtlich der Muskel- und Gefäßlehre. Seine Untersuchungen über den Bau der Herzohren über die Ausführungsgänge der Unterzungendrüsen über den Bau des Trommelfells haben zum Theil einen Umschwung der früheren Anschauungen herbeigeführt. Ein Theil der hierauf bezüglichen Abhandlungen die zumeist als akademische Gelegenheitsschriften erschienen sind von Haller in seinen Disputationes anatomicae I-VI in den Disputationes ad morb. hist. III und den Disputationes chirurgicae abgedruckt. Andere Arbeiten Walther's beziehen sich auf Gegenstände aus den Gebieten der Botanik Physiologie allgemeinen Pathologie inneren Medicin und Chirurgie. Wir nennen nur die Titel folgender Schriften nach Winter's Bearbeitung in der unten bezeichneten Quelle: "De usu et praestantia solidoris in anatomicis scientiae" 1723; "Uterus gravidarum" 1723; "De loto aegyptiaca in nummis antiquis" 1746; "De silphio in veterum nummis ac diversis plantarum speciebus" 1746.

173913984Amsterdam: Renard 1739. Copper-engraved sea chart with full orginal colour in very good condition. A highly decorative sea chart of the English Channel by the master-engraver Renard.<br/> <br/> The marine atlases of 17th and 18th century Holland were best sellers. The nation that led the world in overseas commerce also led in the arts of engraving and cartography. Plus there was a large audience of mariners and mariners' parents who needed to study the obscure straits and recently discovered island groups their sons were seeing. Louis Renard 1678-1746 was from a Huguenot family. He moved from France to the Netherlands and became a book dealer and publisher in Amsterdam in 1703. Louis Renard first published Atlas de la Navigation et du Commerce qui se fait dans toutes les parties du monde in 1715. It was re-issued unchanged by the Ottens in 1739. The charts were printed from plates made by Frederick de Wit in 1675 Orbis Maritimus ofte Zee Atlas. These were corrected by Renard using primarily van Keulen.<br/> <br/> Koeman Atlantes Neerlandici Ren 1. Renard unknown

1754ABC_46313Amsterdam: Reinier & Josua Ottens 1754. Contemporary calf richly-gold tooled spine and bords green morocco spine label with title in gold decorated edges marbled endpapers. Preserved in a professionally made black cloth box with a black morocco spine label with the author title and imprint in gold. Folio. Title-page in red and black a divisional-title for each volume and 100 engraved plates numbered 1-43 & I-LVII no. LVII folding vividly hand-coloured as published showing 460 fishes and other marine animals. 2 volumes bound as 1. Renard's famous but rare work noted for the spectacular imagery of colourful but also bizarre tropical fishes crabs and lobsters from the Indo-Pacific being the first colour-plated fish book here in its rare second edition. The book contains 100 plates with 460 originally and extraordinary hand-coloured copper engravings divided over two volumes with their own half-title 'Histoire naturelle des plus rare curiositez de la mer des Indes' of 415 fishes 41 crustaceans two stick insects a dugong and even a mermaid all living in the Indian Ocean between the East Indies. Sometimes the descriptions specifically refer to fishes of some islands in the East Indies as Ambon the Moluccas or Buton but they also contain references to the "fishes of the Antilles Brazil" Sabin and Mauritius. The illustrations in the first volume seems to be quite realistic in contrast to those in the second volume which are sometimes quite surreal which is even more emphasized by the short anecdotical and highly entertaining descriptions.The Amsterdam publisher and bookseller Louis Renard compiled this collection of ichtyological illustrations by copying the sets of drawings which were brought to Amsterdam by Frederik Julius Coyett the son of the governor and ambassador of Ambon and Banda Balthasar Coyett. The drawings in the first part were copied after the collection of Balthasar Coyett. The illustrations in the second part were copied by Samuel Fallours a soldier in the service of the Dutch East India Company who started drawing marine life in the East Indies for the governors after those in the collection of Andriaen van der Stel governor of the Moluccas.The book shows marine life in the East Indies and the Indo-Pacific when Europe knew very little on this subject there. Because of the brilliant colours fantastic shapes and the described habits of its subjects the work however was often dismissed in its own time as fantasy. Nevertheless Renard's Poissons ecrevisses et crabes is nowadays still one of the rarest and most magnificent ichtyological works being the first colour-plated fish book and a highly interesting scientific effort to represent the Indo-Pacific maritime life mixed with flights of fantasy.Spine and joints professionally restored preliminaries a little foxed some minor browning especially in volume 1 but overall in good condition with brightly coloured plates. One of 35 known copies of a rare ichthyological work.l Landwehr Coloured plates 159; Nissen ZBI 3361; Nissen Schone Fischbucher 103; Sabin 69600; cf.
