Descripción

8vo, pp. 100; original blue wrappers, frayed and with loss to lower corner of upper wrapper (2 x 5 cm); with twentieth century ownership inscription of Israel Holmgren 1917 to title; dog-eared, internally fine. First edition of the catalogue of books, medical instruments and samples at the medical faculty of Stockholm university, prepared by Anders Johan Hagströmer. The catalogue lists some 1000 medical books, mostly in German, Latin and Swedish, followed by a listing of instruments, some with relevant literature, and preparaed samples. The final section gives instruments for specific medical interventions, such as accident and emergency, gynecology, general surgery, dentistry, ophthalmology, but also amputation and trepanning. In many cases the donor or previous owner of the instrument is also noted. Hagströmer (1783-1830), a professor of anatomy and surgery at Stockholm, was a member of the Chirurgiska Societeten (Society of Surgeons) during its final years from 1795-97 and of the Collegium Medicum from 1785. Keen to raise standards of medical education, he began to build a collection of medical books, surgical instruments and preparations, which he donated in 1807 so that they would be available for students and colleagues at the Theatrum Anatomicum. To honour his achievements the rare book collection of the Karolinska Institute and the Swedish Society of Medicine is today called The Hagströmer Medico-Historical Library. [Provenance:] From the collection of Israel Holmgren (1871?1961), Swedish scientist, physician and professor at the Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm.
