"XIV" [= XVI], 115, [1] pp.First edition of one of the rare early anatomical works of one of the most important German anatomists, later also known for his introduction of vaccinations against smallpox soon after Jenner's 1798 publications on the subject, his work on fossils and sunspots, and his 1809 invention of an electrical telegraph. The present work discusses the anatomy of the human brain and spinal cord, carrying on from the author's doctoral thesis a decade earlier on the neural organization of the brain. It is dedicated to the Friedrich Karl Joseph von Erthal, Elector and Archbishop of Mainz, who had called Soemmerring to Mainz as a professor four years before. A second edition appeared in 1792.Soemmerring (1755-1830), son of a doctor of the same name, was an anatomist, doctor and wide-ranging researcher. He wrote his doctoral thesis in 1778 and was named professor of anatomy and physiology at Mainz in 1784. He was knighted in 1808.The pomegranate stamped on the title-page could easily be mistaken a printed ornament, but one can see it has been separately stamped and that the impression carried through to the following leaf (though not now aligned, suggesting it was made when the sheets had already been folded and gathered but not yet bound). It may be an owner's mark or simply a decoration. In very good condition. The backstrip is slightly damaged, but the binding remains good.l August Hirsch, Biogr. Lexikon . Aerzte (1887), pp. 453-455; cf. VD18 (1792 ed.).
[1], [1 blank], [1], [1 blank], [32], 1492, [59], [1 blank] pp.Third and last revised Dutch edition of a classic herbal. The Cruydt-Boeck, not to be confused with the Cruydeboeck first published in 1554, was largely a Dutch translation of the Stirpium historiae pemptades sex, libri XXX, first published by Plantin at Antwerp in 1583. The Stirpium represents Dodoens' best and last great work: a monumental botanical study divided into 6 large sections, each containing 5 books, with the plants classified in 26 groups. This system was far superior to all his earlier classifications. Joost van Ravelinghen or Justus Raphelengius (1573-1628) at Leiden, Christophe Plantin's grandson, first published the present translation in 1608, adding extra information in a smaller type at the end of each chapter. These additions give information on the qualities of the plant taken from the Cruydeboeck, if not present in the Stirpium, as well as new information or descriptions of new plants taken from the work of other authors, including Carolus Clusius and Mathias de Lobel. At the end Van Ravelinghen added a whole new part on exotic plants taken from the works of Clusius, Garcia da Orta, Nic. Monardès, Chr. Acosta and others. The present 1644 edition follows the 1618 edition, apparently a copy annotated by Van Ravelinghen, so that it provides his final thoughts. The printer-publisher was Plantin's great grandson, who had succeeded to his famous Antwerp printing office and publishing house.The woodcut illustrations in the first Dutch edition are for the most part the same as in the Stirpium, but there were several alterations made and some replacements, while 25 new woodcuts of new plants were added, not counting the 52 new woodcuts in the extra supplement on exotic plants. In the second Dutch edition of 1618 Van Ravelingen again added substantial information, following the second Latin edition (Antwerp, 1616). The present 1644 edition does not name Van Ravelingen on the title-page, but includes his name at the end of his 1618 note to the reader. It adds 14 new woodcuts, replaces 18, moves 3 from the supplement to the main work, and omits 3. With a contemporary(?) manuscript annotation describing the book and its author in French in brown ink on the verso of the first free end leaf. With one (of two) brass clasp remaining, professionally reattached to the anchor plate. The boards and the spine are somewhat scuffed (mainly the back board), but the detailed gold- and blind-tooling is still clearly visible. The hinges have been professionally restored. A few leaves show minor tears or small defects to the margins, without affecting the text. The edges of the book block and thus the edges of the leaves are very slightly browned, internally very slightly browned and foxed, without affecting the clarity of the woodcut botanical illustrations. Otherwise in good condition.l Bibl. Belg. II, pp. 226-227 (D121); Nissen, BBI 518; Pritzel 2345; Stafleu & Cowan 1492; STCN 31381001X (9 copies); cf.

A three-part, beautifully illuminated manuscript altar canon, in Latin, that hung in a Catholic Church for devotional use, displaying an exquisite and spectacular level of skill in the lettering and the illumination, both with an extensive use of gold. The central text block of the large panel, directly below the miniature showing the last supper, contains texts for the eucharist (the Elevando oblatam and Levando calicem). The two text blocks flanking it contain (on the left) the Gloria and Credo from the Latin mass and (on the right) four offertory prayers from the Roman rite. The first prayer, under the rubric "Sacerdos offerens hostiam super patenam dicit." is an offertory prayer concerning bread, first found in the prayerbook of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles the Bald, compiled in the years 875 to 877. The second prayer begins with an offer of wine and goes on to offer one's own self. The third prayer again concerns the eucharist and the fourth expresses the hope that the humble offer will be accepted and bring favour to those for whom it is made.While this three-part altar canon with its miniatures, richly decorated borders with a generous use of gold, and text with plainchant music and decorated initials certainly alludes to Mediaeval and Renaissance illuminated manuscripts, it reinterprets them with exuberant rococo decorative elements from the second half of the 18th century, a period that saw an awakened interest in the past. Not only the decoration, but also the lettering fits this double bill. Rather than turning to the gothic lettering styles of most Mediaeval liturgical manuscripts, it alludes to a highly sophisticated style of humanistic lettering introduced in the Italian Renaissance in the 1450s, which served as models for the first roman printing types ca. 1470. Yet in the present manuscript the lettering clearly shows direct influences from roman printing types in the new style introduced by Baskerville in the 1750s and many others following him to the end of the century. In spite of its allusions to the past, the lettering shows the modern distinction between the capital U & V and I & J, and many letters show the teardrop terminals that arose under the influence of pointed pen lettering. Indeed, the capital J, which doesn't descend below the baseline and takes the teardrop terminal almost to the ball form that was to triumph around 1800, suggests that the present manuscript altar canon dates from the end of the 18th century.All three panels are backed with (early 19th-century?) blue paper, but in the two small panels, some gaps in the backing paper reveal printed waste paper underneath, set in an 18th-century roman type (visible in mirror image). Unfortunately we can see only pieces of a few words, but it appears to be French (we can make out 'soit po[ur?]'). If more can be seen, it might help determine where the panels were first installed. With a 3 cm tear across the upper left corner of the large panel, slightly affecting only a small bit of the border decoration, some scratches around the head of the cartouche at the foot of the large panel, the first half of the word "secumdum" in the heading of the John the Evangelist panel slightly rubbed and a few tiny marginal defects, but still in very good condition, most of the lettering and decoration fine. A stunning piece of liturgical art executed with unusual skill.
