Condición: A very good example. Edition : Second, augmented edition. Text in Latin; occasion, Contemporary, gilt panelled vellum; boards with central gilt ornamental design; spine raised with eight (8) bands and gilt lettered title on two and three; all edges cut., The Bibliotheca Anatomica is a two volume, compendium of human anatomy of the seventeenth century, edited by the physicians Daniel Le Clerc or LeClerc and Jean-Jacques Manget from Geneva. The work was first published in Geneva in 1685; its second, augmented edition, of which the present copy is a rare example, was published in 1699 - by Johan Anthon Chouët and Davidis Ritter. The text of this second edition is augmented by numerous engraved plates. It encompasses 'almost all significant anatomical publications across the several decades prior to its publication, including writings of many physicians, including the ones mentioned below. Bibliotheca Anatomica is the most comprehensive collection of anatomical treatises produced in the 17th century.' Keynes states: ?This compilation includes almost all the most important anatomical texts of the century'. Russell calls it an ?extraordinary storehouse of seventeenth century anatomical works?(R. 524). Jean-Jacques Manget or Johann Jacob Mangetus (1652?1742) was a Genevan physician and writer. He was known for his work on epidemic diseases such as bubonic plague and tuberculosis. and. considered one of the "great compilers" of knowledge in the areas of medicine, surgery and pharmacology. Manget became Dean of the Valence medical faculty. Frederick III, Elector of Brandenburg appointed him his personal physician in 1699. Daniel Le Clerc or Leclerc (1652-1728) co-edited the groundbreaking 'Bibliotheca Anatomica' with Manget. Moreover, he authored the seminal 'Histoire de la Medecine', a work unique in its time, going beyond describing the current state of the art of medicine, but delving into the history of medical knowledge from ancient times to the then present. He drew heavily upon Al-Tamimi's seminal work, al-Murshid, upon which he based his views on dietetics and medicines. Le Clerc was elected to the Council of Two Hundred in 1701, a position he held until his death in 1728. Thomas Willis (1621 ? 1675) was an English doctor who played an important part in the history of anatomy, neurology and psychiatry. .Willis was a pioneer in research into the anatomy of the brain, nervous system and muscles. His most notable discovery was the "Circle of Willis", a circle of arteries on the base of the brain. Theodor Kerckring or Dirk Kerckring (sometimes Kerckeringh or Kerckerinck) (?- 1693) was a Dutch anatomist and chemical physician. .Kerckring is remembered for his Spicilegium anatomicum, which is an anatomical atlas of clinical observations, medical curiosities, autopsy discoveries along with general anatomical information. He is credited with describing "Kerckring's ossicles", which is an occasional ossification centre in the occipital bone that appears around the 16th week of gestation. Marcello Malpighi (10 March 1628 ? 29 November 1694) was an Italian biologist and physician, who is referred to as the "Founder of microscopical anatomy, histology & Father of physiology and embryology? Raymond Vieussens (ca. 1635 ? 16 August 1715) was a French anatomist. .Vieussens is credited as being the first physician to give accurate descriptions of the left ventricle and several blood vessels of the heart. Several . anatomical structures were named after Vieussens, however they have largely been replaced by clinical nomenclature. William Harvey (1578 ? 1657) was an English physician who made influential contributions in anatomy and physiology. He was the first known physician to describe completely, and in detail, the systemic circulation and properties of blood being pumped to the brain and the rest of the body by the heart, though earlier writers, such as Realdo Colombo, Michael Servetus, and Jacques Dubois, had provided precursors of the theory. Richard Lower (163.…
