finely engraved title by F. V a 1 e g i o, showing in centre Vesa-

tors, standing within an arch and surrounded by a border of ana-
tomical figures, &c., below a table with chirurgical instruments.
Besides there are numerous beautiful anatomical illustrations by
J oh. Criager (Kriiger) of Pommern, partly full-page, partly prin-
ted between the text. Old vellum binding. Frs. 500.—
Fine copy of a famous book illustrated with a large number of most
carefully and very neatly executed anatomical woodcuts. It was first publis-
hed at Basil in 1543, a second edition appeared in 1555, a third one at Venice
in 1568, and this, the fourth edition, ibid, without date, the latter correspon-
ding page by page with that of 1568, but enlarged by an Appendix with se-
parate title: Universa autiquorum anatome ex Rufo Ephesio tribus tabellis
(tables, not figures) explicata per Fabium Paulinum, (Venetiis 1604). —
Among the anatomic figures there are three entire skeletons, 14 illustrations
of the entire muscle-manikin and two pictures of the veins and arteries.
Andreas Vesalius, the great anatomist, was born at Brussels in 1514,
taught at the Universities of Pavia, Bologna, and Pisa with extraordinary
success; acquired wider renown by the publication of this great work in 1542;
and two years later was appointed first physician to the Emperor Charles V.,
and later to Philipp II. Suddenly, in the heigh of his honours and prosperity,
he resolved on making the pilgrimage to Jerusalem, owing to the fact that he
was found guilty of murder by the Inquisition for having opened a body for
dissection before death had really taken place, and that he was allowed to
expiate the crime by a pilgrimage instead of death. On his return (1564) he
was wrecked and perished of hunger and exhaustion in the Island of Zante.
This, his principal work, by its original views, important discoveries
and convincing evidence, constituted the science of human anatomy, and ope-
ned a new era in the progress of medical science. Its daring attacks' on esta-
blished doctrines and the venerated authority of Galen, brought down on its
author a storm of bitter reproach and opposition; but the storm soon allayed
itself, and Vesalius was honoured by the next generation as a discoverer
of a New World.
A very fine copy. Three leaves at the end have a small wormhole affec-
ting few words, otherwise in the best state of preservation.
