CONTENTS: Anatomie Chirurgicale Vol. I (xxiv, 514, [2] pages, plus plates i-xxx); Anatomie Chirurgicale Vol. II (viii, 313, 336-352, 453-465, 366-403 pages, plus plates xxxi-xlviii), bound together with Observations Anatomiques (viii, 175 pages, plus 8 plates), and Six Observations ([2], 36, [2] pages). Shelved in Room A. The first work in this set is the second edition of Flemish surgeon Jean Palfin's [Jan Palfijn's] very famous treatise on anatomy, which was first published in 1726 under the title Anatomie du Corps Humain. This work and its earlier edition were very influential in the medical field for their detailed anatomical illustrations and descriptive, actionable advice for surgeons, becoming a widespread, authoritative medical text throughout Europe and other parts of the world. The second work, bound together with Vol. II of Anatomie Chirurgicale, is a French translation of Frederik Ruysch's Observationum Anatomico-Chirurgicarum Centuria. Ruysch was a renowned anatomist and botanist in his own right, most well-known for his anatomical museum - the Cabinet of Curiosities - and his improved embalming technique, which preserved bodies for longer periods of time in a more visually life-like state. The final work, also bound together with Vol. II of Anatomie Chirurgicale and Observations Anatomiques, is a revised edition of Six Observations by Michel Brisseau, who is notable for being the first to demonstrate the true nature of cataracts as an increased opacity of the lens of the eye, rather than a film that covered the eye, which was the prevailing belief at the time. Together, these works comprise a collection of highly influential studies, treatises, and observations on anatomy and surgery by some of the most notable medical practitioners of the late 17th and early 18th centuries. 1408797.
