This complete two-volume bibliographical catalogue of The Haskell F. Norman Library of Science & Medicine San Francisco: Jeremy Norman compiled by Diana H. Hook and Jeremy M. Norman describes 2,595 landmark works in science and medicine from the 15th through the 20th centuries. Featuring fully annotated entries with detailed collations and illustration counts, plus comprehensive indexes, it remains an essential reference for collectors, historians, librarians, and rare book professionals. --- Compiled by Diana H. Hook and Jeremy M. Norman, this reference work catalogs the private collection of Haskell F. Norman, a noted San Francisco bibliophile who assembled one of the twentieth century's significant holdings of landmark works in the history of science and medicine. The catalog documents first editions and important printings spanning from incunabula through the modern era, with detailed bibliographical descriptions, provenance notes, and scholarly annotations covering authors such as Vesalius, Newton, Darwin, and Freud. Issued in two volumes by Norman Publishing, it serves as a valuable bibliographic tool for historians, collectors, and rare book specialists.

Regular edition, limited to 465 copies. 2 vols, two-tone cloth, 4to, 29 cm, 100 pp. 24 colour plates & 396 black & white text illustrations. A luxurious fully annotated catalogue, with collations, paginations and plate counts, describing some 2,285 significant first editions in the history of science and medicine, together with some 172 items on Freud and some 153 on Franz Anton Mesmer and Mesmerism. Especially strong in association and presentation copies. In a contemporary review, Owen Gingerich wrote: "The significance of each work is succinctly described. Collations include the arrangement of signatures for the earlier books, and provenances generally report the name of the bookseller. Norman's collection includes not only the great works of the Scientific Revolution- Galileo, Kepler, Newton - and more recent names -Babbage, Darwin, Einstein- but also medical works. Vesalius's De humani corporis fabrica (1543) is the colored presentation copy to Charles V; William Harvey's De motu cordis (1628) had been owned by Constantyn Huygens. Because this outstanding collection is so wide ranging, this beautiful (but, alas, understandably expensive) work should become a standard reference for classics in the history of science." Very minor spotting to top edges, otherwise a Near Fine set.
