Original publisher's cloth with coloured dust jacked. 149 illustrations, including 142 plates in full colour. This work presents a deluxe portfolio of rare and precious botanical art. Painted in Holland in the late sixteenth century by an unknown hand or hands, these magnificent images were collected by the pharmacist Theodorus Clutius, Much admired and copied in their own day, they later traveled to Berlin and for a time after World War II were thought to be lost. They have never before been published in this format or extent. For Lovers of botanical art these exquisite and unique works are therefore a remarkable discovery: rivaling the drawings of Leonardo da Vinci and Albrecht Diirer in beauty and accuracy, they represent that dramatic time when brilliant artistic expression matched groundbreaking scientific inquiry: the era we call the Renaissance. Prof Claudia Swan has studied these remarkable works in the collection of the Jagiellon University Library in Kraków, Poland, and made a selection of 142 watercolors for the present volume from some 1800 pictures. Her accompanying essay sets the watercolors in the context of both the art and science of the period. Each flower, plant, tree, and herb is reproduced in color and with meticulous care-nearly all as full-page plates. botanical illustrations watercolors history of botany iconography pharmacy materia medica collections botany - medical botany - mycology 50.00€

Very rare, being a reissue of the remainder of the original plates and text sheets of 1798 with only a new title page and preface by Suringar. 'A romantic history attaches to this fine collection of plates, drawn by Eustachius himself and completed in 1552. They remained unprinted and forgotten in the Vatican Library until discovered in the early 18th century, and were then presented by Pope Clement XI to his physician Giovanni Maria Lancisi. The latter published them in 1714 together with his own notes. These copperplates are more accurate than the work of Vesalius. Singer was of the opinion that had they appeared in 1552 Eustachius would have ranked with Vesalius as one of the founders of modern anatomy...'

Fournier, Tenneson, Hallopeau, Du Castel avec le concours de M. Henri Feulard, secrétaire générale: M.L. Jacquet. Paris, Rueff et Cie, (1895-1897) (ii), iv, 346 pp. Folio. Quater red chagrin, spine with raised bands, gilt lettered, uncut. Illustrated with 10 photographs, 43 wood engravings, and 50 large coloured plates. All published (5 fascicules) of this rare and monumental work. No copy recorded in the cat. Bibliothèque Nationale. The work was realized trhrough the combined effort of the best dermatologists of that period in France. Together with over 20 entries in G&M. The unsurpassed chromolithographs in this work were made by Lemercier, the unrivalled master. The aim of this work was to provide a diagnostic tool with suggestions for a rational treatment of the various cutaneous diseases. The material presented was based on the rich collection of the museum of l'Hôpital Saint-Louis, the finest in the world on the subject. The Musée, founded in 1866 started with the modest collection Devergie of watercoulours and photographs. By 1895 the collection became the most important in the world. The most important part of the collectiom are the MOULAGES (three demensional colured mouldings). The master mouleur was M. Baretta, a highly gifted artist. His first moulage was created in 1867, and the end of 1894 he had created 1800 mouldings of incredible quality. The splendid life-size plates in this work are all after the MOULAGES of this great medical artist, and are superior to watercolours and photographs as employed in other dermatological iconographies.--(Partly some slight foxing on text leaves and margins of the plates, but a fine copy). dermatology iconography moulages wax models venerology chromolithography dermatology - venerology 1200.00€

703 Museum Spitzner.-- Verklarend & Analytisch Katalogus der beroemde oud©verzameling van Dokter Spitzner... (Bruxelles), (Imprimérie Mondial), (ca. 1915). 32 pp. 12mo. Original printed wrappers. A rare booklet of which only one other copy could be recorded. It is probably the only printed catalogue of the 'Museum Spitzner'of pathology and hygiene, or at least what was left of it. There are 380 items described, and the supplement devoted to venereal diseases has 74 items. Sigmund S. Spitzner (1813©1894) received his MD at Vienna in 1837. In 1839 he was appointed professor of Anatomy at the medical school of Constantinople. Here he successfully put aside the ruling prejudices against obduction, and started to build an anatomical museum. This collection was composed of Spitzner's own material, and preparates obtained from Joseph HIRTL. In 1844 Spitzner became director of the Medical Clinic, and later director of the Academy of Medicine. Meanwhile he had cured the Sultan Abdul Medzjid from a serious illness, and became the latter's personal physician and confidant. He represented the Ottoman Empire as diplomat in Naples, and later diplomatist for Austria and the Ottoman Empire during the Crimean War treaty. The evening of his life was spend alternate in Paris and Italy. He died at the age of 80 in Vienna. According the preface of this catalogue, the 'Museum Spitzner' was founded in 1856, and traveled throughout Europe. It attracted many spectators and gained world fame. The burning question; how did the collection came to Belgium? remains unsolved. At the time this catalogue was printed, the collection was owned by G. Geluck of Brussels, who probably compiled this catalogue. By this date, it did not serve any scientific purpose, but merely as a curious attraction. The items representing venereal diseases were used as a repressive argument against sexual relation, by showing the youth the morbid consequences of sexually transmitted diseases. musae collections venereal diseases preparates pathology anatomy teratology cabinets curiosities musea - cabinets - collections 165.00€

Contemporary half calf (slightly rubbed), spine gilt lettered. With 1 folded table. First edition of the Pharmacopoea Neerlandica, simultaneously published in Dutch and Latin. This work is a quit remarkable book. Owing to the strong influence of Gerrit Jan Mulder it became rather a textbook of pharmacy & chemistry instead of a pure pharmacopoea with a so far unseen size of 600 pages. The book had a strong influence on Dutch pharmacy, and initiated numerous experiments and observations (Stoeder 399). It was probably also due to Mulder's authority, that the Commission responsible for the new Dutch pharmacopoea was joined, for the first time, by an pharmacist; Anthony Johannes d'Ailly (1793-1851) of Amsterdam, a notable event in the history of Dutch pharmacy. -- (With the stamp of F.G.

""Stoll was a member of the influential Viennese School which, during his lifetime, became one of the focal points of European medical inquiry. He is generally regarded as a systematist relying heavily on the works of Sydenham. Stoll was one of the few physicians of the Viennese School who supported Auenbrugger's view on percussion. In this treatise on fevers he refers favorably to the practise and, in all probability, it was here that the translator, Corvisart, became acquainted with the subject. This prompted him to translate also Auenbrugger's classic work (1808), which subsequently led to the general acceptance of percussion as a dignostic practice"" (Heirs of Hippocrates 1040).

""C'est à ce second état que se rapportent les hallucinations qu'il définit comme des transformations spontanées de la pensée en sensations les plas souvent externes"" (Brierre de Boismon, De maladies mentales p. 695).

752 [RICORD, Philippe 1800-1889 & Jean Nicolas DEMARQUAY 1811-18 Les AMBULANCE de la Presse annexes du Ministère de la Guerre pendant le Siège et sous la Commune 1870-1871. Cet ouvrage est vendu au profit de la caise de la Société de Secours aux Blessés. Paris, Marc & Baillière, 1872. 373, [iii] pp. Roy. 8vo. Contemporary half brown morocco, spine with raised band, gilt lettered (partly slightly rubbed; corners sl. bumped). With one coloured lithographed folded plan, 7 illustrations in the text and 18 wood engraved plates. A most interesting medico-historic document. The Franco-Prussian War began on July 19, 1870; on September 2, after the battle of Sedan, the principal French army surrendered to the Germans. On September 4 an insurrection in Paris proclaimed the Republic. The Prussian and German forces moved into France. For four months the capital was surrounded and besieged. By January 1871, the bitter siege of Paris was ended, but not for long. The Paris republicans, who had defended France when Napoleon III failed to do so, refused peace on Bismarck's tems. The result was a civil war between the National Assembly at Versailles, and the Paris revolutionary maunicipal councils known as the Commune. By now the Paris Commune, who lasted from March to May 1871, was attacked by the French. The fighting in Paris was atrocious beyond anything known in any preceding Frenc revolution. The victims were countless. It was on the instigation of Philippe Ricord, the greatest authority on venereal diseases after John Hunter, that a committee was founded to assist the sick and wounded of the Franco-Prussian War. Through the combined effort of his staff and the French press, a national campaign was launched to gather material and volunteers. The result was overwhelming, and an impressive number of fixed, mobile and camp hospitals were installed and became operative. The Ambulances de la Presse, directed by Ricord, existed from September 1870 until June 1871. During that period some 25.00€0 sick or wounded were treated. The first part of this work describes the various (camp) hospitals, their organization and staff; the second part describes the scientific and aspects of the improvised hospitals (including pharmacy); the work is concluded by a 100 pages appendix, giving additional data. At a later date, the  Ambulances de la Presse  merged with the Société de Secours aux Blessés No copy in the cat. Bibl.
