History of Medicine Described by Norman as "probably the most original artist in the history of anatomical preparations" Ruysch 1638-1731 "enjoyed making up elaborate three-dimensional emblems of mortality from his specimens" which included fetal skeletons and preserved organs. Heirs to Hippocrates says that "the engraved illustrations deserve special mention for their whimsical almost surrealistic quality: quaintly posed skeletons surrounded by stuffed monsters strange reptiles dried plants and sea creatures." According to Norman "Ruysch's methods allowed him to prepare organs such as the liver and kidneys and keep entire corpses for years. He used a mixture of talc white wax and cinnabar for injecting vessels and an embalming fluid of alcohol made from wine or corn with black pepper added. Using his injection methods Ruysch was the first to demonstrate the occurrence of blood vessels in almost all tissues of the human body thereby destroying the Galenic belief that certain areas of the body had no vascular supply. He was also the first to show that blood vessels display diverse organ-specific patterns." Ruysch's dioramas were displayed in his home museum in Amsterdam which was open to the public; visitors included Tsar Peter the Great of Russia who purchased the collection in 1717 for the foundation of Russia's first public museum the St. Petersburg Kunstkammer. Unfortunately the Russian climate was not kind to the fragile constructions and all deteriorated over time; the dramatic plates here are the best record we have of this unique collection.

Planches anatomiques du corps humain executes d'après les dimensions naturelles . . . Double elephant folio atlas. Lithographed part-title leaf title leaf and 83 lithographed plates 48 black and white 35 outline by Charles-Philibert de Lasteyrie 1759-1849 all leaves folded and mounted on guards. Paris: C. de Lasteyrie 1823- 1826. 623 x 509 mm. individual leaves measure 907 x 623 mm. / 35.6875 x 24.5 inches unfolded. 20th century half morocco paste paper boards light wear. Discreet repairs to margins of part-title minor occasional foxing but very good.</p> <p> Considering that it is among the rarest of all anatomies and certainly the largest it is remarkable that two nearly identical editions of Mascagni's posthumous life-size anatomy were published almost simultaneously. The present lithographed edition was issued between 1823 and 1826. An edition with engraved plates was also published in Pisa under the title Anatomia universa 1823-32. Though the two editions were printed by different processes the image quality of the two is remarkably similar and it is debatable which is superior from either the artistic or scientific standpoint. Antommarchi's version in an homage to Vesalius includes imaginary landscape backgrounds created for the base of his musclemen; these do not appear in the Italian edition. There are other subtle differences. Antommarchi included letter keys within the images of some of the less-complex plates eliminating the need for outline plates to those images. He also published more anatomical plates than the Italian edition.</p> <p> The publication history of these two editions is complex and usually misunderstood. The edition we are offering was issued in 15 parts between 1823 and 1826 by the lithographic press of the Comte de Lasteyrie one of the two founders of lithography in France an accompanying text volume not present with this copy was issued in 1826 and bears the imprint of Lasteyrie's successor R. Brégeaut. The atlas with magnificent plates printed on single broadsheets measuring 970 x 650 mm. uncut is comparable in size to the double elephant folio edition of Audubon's Birds of America 1827-38 which measures about 985 x 660 mm. It is without doubt the largest lithographically printed book issued during the incunabula period of lithography. The atlas was issued in both uncolored and colored versions; according to the part-title included with this copy uncolored fascicles sold for 30 francs each and colored ones for 80 francs each. Choulant writing in the 1840s when copies of both editions might have remained available from the publishers states that copies of the completed version with colored plates could be purchased for 150 francs and uncolored copies for 375 francs. Because the plates are so large in some extant copies of the atlas they are backed with linen and cut for folding with some resulting loss of image. This is not the case here: Each plate is folded horizontally and mounted on a guard preserving the entire image.</p> . C. de Lasteyrie unknown books

A physician and professor of anatomy at Leyden Eduard Sandifort 1742-1814 was commissioned by the University and the city council to publish this account of the school's anatomical collections with a focus on pathological anatomy including especially congenital abnormalities. After the publication of the first two volumes in 1793 the third and fourth were issued following Sandifort's death by his son Gerard 1779-1848 who followed in his father's professorial footsteps in Leyden. The first second and fourth volume are illustrated with copperplate engravings which Larousse tell us make this book "one of the most beautiful works of this genre" though "beautiful" needs to be understood here to mean "convincing" or "compelling" rather than aesthetically appealing. The first volume concludes with nine full-size depictions of skulls; the illustrations in the second and fourth are of a more affecting nature consisting of malformed bodies and body parts damaged or destroyed by disease and birth defects. The engravings of the conjoined twins in these volumes are especially powerful--consisting of poignant even haunting images showing undeserving victims of pronounced congenital defects though some are softened with a touch of the fanciful in their presentation. The thoroughness and accuracy of the work is so great that it remains of scholarly value even today. A recent study by Dutch curators and anatomical scholars Lucas L. Boer Peter L. J. Boek Andries J. van Dam and Roelof-Jan Oostra used "Museum Anatomicum" as a guide to identify and re-diagnose the University's historic teratological collections noting that "many historically made diagnoses could not be improved upon after re-diagnosing the specimens with contemporary dysmorphological knowledge actually confirming that these old collectors were perhaps the first dysmorphologists and can be seen as true pioneers in the field of teratology." Although single volumes and incomplete sets of this work come on the market with some regularity we have been able to trace only five complete sets at auction since 1872. And ours especially fresh and wide-margined in pleasing contemporary calf is a particularly attractive specimen. S. & J. Luchtmans unknown

"Edizione originale", molto rara trovarla completa.<br> “Antonmarchi served as personal physician to Napoleon at St. Helena and achieved a certain editorial notoriety as the editor of Paolo Mascagni’s posthumous "Prodromo della grande anatomia". Upon termination of his obligations with Mascagni’s heirs, he seems to have considered the rights his own and republished the plates in the present edition, with some modifications, under his own name - without denying their provenance. He nevertheless failed to cite Mascagni on the title page and this was poorly received by the medical community. The work was conceived so that the entire human body might be represented (in life size) by joining three of the plates together. This may be achieved a number of times to depict the complete skeleton, the blood vessels, the muscles (front and back) and the viscera. Further detailed plates are dedicated to the brain, the heart, the lymphatic system, etc.”. Cfr.

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.

Codice Atlantico (Codex Atlanticus). Giunti, Barbera, Firenze, 1976. Il Codice Atlantico è la più vasta raccolta di documenti leonardeschi conosciuti. Alla fine del 1500 a Madrid lo scultore Pompeo Leoni con numerosi fogli e frammenti contenevano la quasi totale produzione intellettuale di Leonardo ha creato una composizione curiosa e spettacolare che rappresenta ogni aspetto del genio vinciano: l’ appassionato interesse per la meccanica e la matematica, l'astronomia, la geografia fisica, la botanica, la chimica e l'anatomia, nonché le arti figurative. Disegni per progetti tecnici innovativi, dispositivi idraulici, armi, fortificazioni, macchine volanti, imbarcazioni e automi, oltre agli studi con annotazioni teoriche e pratiche per L'Adorazione dei Magi, Leda e il cigno, e il Battaglia di Anghiari. Inoltre, al suo interno, i progetti per i monumenti equestri, mai eseguiti, a Francesco Sforza e Gian Giacomo Trivulzio, nonché i progetti architettonici per il rinnovamento urbano di Milano e la residenza reale di Romorantin in Francia. L'opera è composta da dodici volumi, in facsimile, formato 44x65 cm. e dodici volumi di testo (formato 22x30 cm. di trascrizione diplomatica e critica a cura di Augusto Marinoni e un volume contenente l'indice per materie e l'indice alfabetico a cura di Pietro C. Marani ), tutti rilegati a mano in piena pelle, con impressioni in oro sul dorso. Edizione limitata di 998 copie. Condizioni ottime.
Un volume (22x33 cm) di (6)-510-(46)-(20) pagine, con le incisioni nel testo e a piena pagina di Joannes Criegher dagli originali vesaliani; pagina di titolo calcografica incisa da Francesco Valesio (rinforzata al retro); manca la pagina di occhiello (?1). L'ultima pagina è bianca. Alla p. 273-74 strappo restaurato al margine esterno con perdita di alcune lettere e delle due glosse. Piccolo foro di tarlo al margine bianco interno agli ultimi tre fogli della seconda parte. Per il resto esemplare molto bello, con poche fioriture, incisioni assai nette e fresche. -Legatura settecentesca in mezza pergamena , tassello di titolo (parzialmente eraso) al dorso, piatti con carta marmorizzata. -Quinta edizione, assai simile alla quarta del 1588 pubblicato da Francesco Sanese, veneziano padre degli stampatori di questo volume che però aggiungono per la prima volta l' Universa Antiquorum anatome tam ossium, quam partium & externarum, & internarum: ex Rufo Ephesio medico antiquissimo: tribus tabellis explicata per Fabium Paulinum. Quibus accessit quarta ex Sorani medici antiquissimi fragmento Graeco non antehac Latino facto. Di 19 pagine non numerate + una bianca.. “"The sons of Francesco Senense must have come into possession of Criegher’s carefully engraved wood-blocks and when in 1604 their father’s edition of 1568 presumably became sold out, they decided to issue another in precisely the same format . . . Fabricius of Acquapendente was by now professor of anatomy at Padua, and it was in all likelihood the student text he recommended. Additions to the book were a title-page handsomely engraved on copper and an additional series of anatomical tables with a new title-page and privilege giving the date of publication which was absent on the frontispiece" (Cushing, p. 93).

Choulant, p. 143 e ss: "Albrecht Duerer (Nuremberg 1471 - 1528), like Leonardo da Vinci, wrote treatises on mathematics, chemistry, hydraulics, anatomy, and other scientific subjects.. He was one of the first artists in Germany who practiced and taught the rules of perspective, which he is said to have learned from Lucas von Leyden.. His book on human proportions was prepared for the press after his death by his lifelong friend Willibald Pirkheimer, and it appeared in October, 1528.. The work is divided into four books. The first two books treat of the proper proportions of the human form and its separate members, according to a constructed scale. He first divides the body into seven parts, each having the same measurement as the head, and he next considers the same divided into eight parts, giving also a separate consideration to the proportions of children. The woman, he considers, ought to be an eighteenth part shorter than man. In his proportions of the female figure he follows, perhaps unwittingly, the celebrated standard of the Venus de' Medici. In his third book he changes these proportions according to mathematical rule, and gives examples of ludicrously fat and thin figures, in which some one proportion is frightfully exaggerated. In the fourth book he shows the human form in movement, and treats especially of foreshortenings..” - Adams,I, p. 371 - Brunet,II,914 - Cicognara,319: “nitidissima edizione”.

He gave the first description of bronchial blood vessels and vascular plexuses of the heart, demonstrated the valves of the lymphatics, and made a great number of other important discoveries in anatomy”.

Il colophon porta la data ‘1588’. "Prima edizione in latino". Cfr. Castiglioni, p. 430: "Giovanni Valverde, soprannominato "Huescanus o ab Huesca" dal nome della sua patria Huesca - nel regno di Leòn in Spagna - occupa un posto eminente fra gli anatomisti spagnoli del Cinquecento. Nel 1556 pubblicò una prima ediz. spagnola, tradotta in italiano nel 1560 e in latino nel 1589, che ebbe una grandissima diffusione e fu tra i libri più letti e più studiati del Rinascimento". Cfr. anche Choulant “History and bibliography of anatomic illustration”, p. 206: "This is a Latin translation of the complete text by Valverde, as it appeared in the Italian edition. Besides the title-page of the Italian edition, which is slightly elaborated in the Latin edition, there are given the forty-two original plates by Valverde and four myologic plates by an unknown artist and engraver. At the end of the prefaces is inserted on a whole page a bust of Valverde with the monogram of Niccolò Beatrici. The four newly added engravings represent four muscle-manikins in different positions, all beautifully and forcefully engraved" - Graesse,VII,254 - Sallander,9798 - Hirsch,I,129. Con tracce d’uso nel t. e al frontesp.; qualche lieve arross. margin.; ca. 40 carte (incluse le ultime 10) molto ben restaur. per fori di tarlo al marg. bianco. Malgrado questi difetti è certamente un buon esemplare.

1890179459Peoria Illinois: American Manikin Company 1890. The bare bones of anatomy An educational model depicting male anatomy. It was positioned as a cheaper and more user-friendly alternative to Louis Auzoux's papier-mâché manikins themselves an accessible innovation from earlier wax models. The American Manikin represents a crucial step in the widening accessibility and popularization of anatomy and is a precursor to the mass-produced teaching models of the 20th century. The model is double-sided one face depicting muscles nerves tendons and the spinal column and the other showing muscles veins and bones. The latter face has alphabetically labelled hooks onto which illustrated steel attachments can be affixed. When all the plates are in place the model can be "dissected" by removing each layer in sequence eventually revealing the skeleton. Several of the attachments have additional diagrams on the reverse; for example the attachment illustrating the nerves of the brain also features a diagram of the inner ear on the other side. First produced in 1888 the manikin was designed by Elias Smith 1828-1913 who also published the Atlas of Colored Plates Illustrating Features of Anatomy 1889. Smith was an enterprising businessman who held patents for bicycle saddles and dental equipment. The accompanying advertisement booklet makes extensive reference to the American Manikin's superiority over Auzoux's French model. The attachment for the model's hand is illustrated with the company's calling card. The manikin was issued with 40 attachments of which 24 are present. An accompanying Teachers' Handbook was also produced not present. Wooden model approximately 1070 x 407 mm chromolithographic illustrations affixed to both faces one face with 27 metal hooks. With 24 steel attachments with similar illustrations metal stand comprising base and three attachable legs. Housed in original wooden case 1020 x 510 mm chromolithographic anatomical diagrams printed on inner panels instructional leaflet affixed to same. With 62-page advertisement booklet. Case with near-contemporary postage label of Lewis Bohnett 1880-1970 antique-collector and proprietor of "Trader Lew's Relic Museum" California; "fragile" label dated 1939 to same. Lightly worn from use lacking single hook cockling and a few chips to chromolithographic overlays colours bright; superficial wear to case: in very good condition standing firm. unknown
