1740276281740. Kupferstich I.Wessel pinx 1740. Dantzig; J.Houbraken sculp. 1743. Amsterdamm 192x144 auf 366x244 mm. Johann Adam Kulmus was born on Danzig in 1689 and studied medicine at Halle Strassburg and Basel. In 1725 he became a lecturer in medicine at the Gymnasium in Danzig where he died in 1745. His most noted work was the anatomical textbook Anatomischen Tabellen first published in Danzig 1722. The work was extremely popular and was translated into Latin French Dutch and eventually Japanese. Most of the illustrations are imitations of those in Philippe Verheyen's Corporis humani anatomia which are themselves heavily patterned after Vesalius. By 1770 Japan had been cut off from the rest of the world for well over a century with the exception of limited trade with the Netherlands and China. About that time a group of Japanese physicians led by Maeno Ryotaku 1733-1803 and Genpaku Sugita 1733-1817 undertook the study of Dutch medicine and in 1771 managed to obtain copies of the Dutch translation of Kulmus' anatomical work entitled Ontleedkundige tafelen published in Amsterdam in 1734. Taking the book with them to the dissection of an executed criminal's corpse they were enthralled by the accuracy of the Dutch work and decided to translate it into Japanese. After years of work which involved finding a new vocabulary in Japanese for many anatomical terms the work was published under the title Kaitai shinsho in Tokyo in 1774. Kaitai shinsho is considered to be the first Western book published in Japan in the Japanese language. It was also a large step in the development of European medicine in Japan mainly because it called into question the Chinese anatomical theories of Japan's kampo medicine. -cf. NLM unknown

17981010981798. Vienne J.V. Degen 1798. xviii 124 ix pp. Original marbled paper wrappers. Catalogue of all the prints by Lucas van Leyden preceded by a biography. Lucas van Leyden 1494 8 August 1533 also named either Lucas Hugensz or Lucas Jacobsz was a Dutch engraver and painter born and mainly active in Leiden. He was among the first Dutch exponents of genre painting and is generally regarded as one of the finest engravers in the history of art. Lucas was first trained by his father Huygh Jacobszoon; later he entered the workshop of Cornelis Engelbrechtszoon a painter of Leiden. His paintings as well as his prints reveal his unique approach to subject matter and style though Lucas is more highly regarded today as a printmaker than as a painter. He was extraordinarily precocious. unknown
