1739ST12883Leyden: Johann Arnold Langerak 1739. First Edition in Latin. 540 x 380 mm. 21 1/4 x 15". 70 leaves of text.Translated by William Dundass. <br/> Original red quarter vellum over marbled boards raised bands UNTRIMMED EDGES. Engraved printer's device on title large decorative initials and tailpieces EXTRA ENGRAVED TITLE AND 114 STRIKING PLATES OF ANATOMICAL FIGURES three folding. Wellcome II 401; Heirs of Hippocrates 468; Choulant-Frank pp. 252-3; Russell 213. ◆Vellum on spine rather worn with three one-and-one-half-inch pieces broken away revealing structure underneath paper boards quite chafed other minor problems externally but an entirely solid unrestored binding. A couple of plates with short closed marginal tears one folding plate with one-inch closed tear into image no loss untrimmed edges a little browned and brittle with isolated small chips occasional minor foxing or insignificant stains three plates lightly browned but still AN UNUSUALLY ATTRACTIVE COPY INTERNALLY with the broadest of margins with especially clean and fresh leaves and with rich impressions of the plates.<br/> <br/> With plates of notable visual impressiveness this was the finest anatomy book in England during the first half of the 18th century; it also was largely a plagiarism borrowing most of its engraved content from a work by the Dutch physician Govert Bidloo published in 1685. Bidloo's work was the first large-scale anatomical atlas to appear after Vesalius' epoch-making "De Humani Corporis Fabrica" and the plates which are highly praised by Norman and Garrison-Morton are characterized by startlingly detailed life-size depictions of the human body both adult and infant with figures flayed to reveal muscles opened to show organs and unfleshed to exhibit bones. According to Choulant-Frank Bidloo's publishers sold 300 impressions of these plates to Cowper probably to recoup some of their money after disappointing sales. Cowper took Bidloo's original 105 plates added nine of his own and produced an English translation of the original Latin text to accompany them. Discussing the original plates produced by Gerard de Lairesse 1641-1711 Norman says that the figures are displayed "in an emotional almost tender manner contrasting the raw dissected parts with the full soft surfaces of uncut flesh placing flayed bound figures in ordinary nightclothes or bedding setting ordinary household objects such as books jars or cabinets in the same scene as cut-up torsos or limbs. His illustrations brought the qualities of Dutch still-life painting into anatomical illustration and gave a new darker spiritual expression to the significance of the act of dissection." When Cowper's version of the atlas first appeared as "The Anatomy of Humane Bodies" in London in 1698 there was also a 1737 Leyden printing in English before our more scholarly Latin edition Bidloo complained to the Royal Society and accused Cowper of plagiarism and fraud resulting in much acrimony and heated pamphleteering between the two physicians. Notwithstanding this scandal Cowper's achievements and discoveries--including the pair of glands that bear his name--were considerable and his text improved significantly upon the original work. Unfortunately as the DNB notes "the notoriety of this case has served to obscure a true appreciation of Cowper and of his many original contributions to anatomical illustration." The atlases of Bidloo and Cowper appear on the market regularly but at 540 x 380 mm. the present copy is distinguished by its size which is significantly larger than what is typically seen with this edition--we have not been able to trace a copy larger than ours from marketplace or institutional records.

7765Various: Philosophical Library; et al. First Edition. Original wraps. Very Good/Very Good. I think I've reached the point that I'm convinced enough of the reality of the ET presence and I'm not going to deny it and shy away from it. It is time to open this up to the public." - Edgar Mitchell<br /> <br /> Interesting eight book archive from the personal collection of Astronaut and Moonwalker Edgar Mitchell. All books on the subject of psychic exploration which Mitchell was famously involved in. Late in 1973 and early 1974 Mitchell co-founded the Institute for Noetic Science. The Institute conducts research on topics such as spontaneous remission meditation consciousness alternative healing practices consciousness-based healthcare spirituality human potential psychic abilities psychokinesis and survival of consciousness after bodily death. Edgar Mitchell was widely recognized for his public stance on the existence of UFO's and the powers of the mind. He believed that the bridging of science and the power of the human mind represented the key to our discovering the worlds outside our own. The subject of Noetic Science has flourished of late thanks to it's use in Dan Brown's "The Lost Symbol" which was published in 2009. No longer considered "fringe" science by most Mitchell was one of the early believers in the powers of meditation and collective thought. <br /> <br /> Archive Includes:<br /> 1 Gill Joseph - The Great Pyramid Speaks to You Philosophical Library 1984 - SIGNED TO EDGAR MITCHELL BY AUTHOR<br /> 2 Gignous Jane Hughes - Some Folk Say: Stories of Life Death and Beyond FoulktTale Publishing 1998 - SIGNED TO EDGAR MITCHELL BY AUTHOR<br /> 3 Friedman Norman - Bridging Science and Spirtit Living Lake Books 1994 Revised Edition - SIGNED TO EDGAR MITCHELL BY AUTHOR<br /> 4 Mayur Ed.
