Garrison-Morton 1884. “Maximilian Stoll (1742—87), of Swabia, brought the
old Vienna School to its high-water mark. He regarded nearly all fevers and in-
flammatory diseases as ‘gastrobilious’, with emetics as the standard remedy.”

“Sydenham 1624/89 is one of the greatest figures in internal medicine, and has
been called ‘the Father of English medicine’. His reputation rests today on his first-
hand accounts of such conditions as the malarial fevers of his time, gout, scarlatina,
measles, pneumonia, etc.” (Garrison-Morton.) — Good copy with MS. ownership

Cushing VI. D.-37 (p. 148) mentions 12 complete copies only. Choulant-
Frank 205/208. Osier-coll. 576 ; De Feyfer VI, 28. Juan Valverde de
Hamusco, a Spanish anatomist, was a student of Realdo Colombo. He is best known
for the present work which was first issued in Spanish, ill. with 42 full-page and
detailed anatomical engravings. 38 are copies of the plates of V e s a 1’s Fabrica,
4 are original ones, among which the famous one, reproduced by Choulant, of the
muscle-man with his skin in the right hand and the knife used for skinning in his
left hand. Cushing 146 : “In his Examen of Fallopius, Vesalius inveighs against
Valverde’s plagiarism and accuses him of having never dissected. In referring to the
Vesalian plates Valverde in his preface states that it would have been easy to im-
prove upon many of the Vesalian figures but that he had desisted from altering them
extensively to avoid suspicion of envy and maliciousness. Yet he did change audaciously
several figures, especially the skeletons and in at least 2 points he corrected the
Vesalian anatomy. His eye-muscle figures are a great improvement on those of
Vesalius as is the representation of the muscles of the nose and larynx.” — Our
ed. is the first to contain, apart from the engr. title, the portrait by Beatrici
(Bartsch XV, 242), the 42 regular plates as well as 4 supplementary plates of
muscle-men, making a total of 46 fine and clear anatomical plates, probably also
engr. by Beatrici (Bartsch XV, 263). The Italian translation is by Antonius
Tabo de Albenga. Choulant-Frank 208 : “The four newly added engravings
represent 4 muscle-manikins in different positions, all beautifully and forcefully
engraved”. — Slightly thumbed and stained in some places. A few tears heatly
repaired. Nevertheless a good copy with large margins, in a nice modern binding,
of this fine and important work.
