Details
BARTHOLINUS, Caspar (1585-1629). Institutiones Anatomicae. Leiden: Franciscus Hack, 1645.
8o (182 x 115 mm). Engraved title-page, portrait frontispiece, 6 folding engraved plates, 57 full-page text engravings, and numerous engraved vignettes throughout (a few plates slightly cropped at margins). Contemporary calf (rebacked, worn). Provenance: cropped early ownership signature on title-page.
The second edition of Thomas Bartholin's revision of his father's classic Anatomicae institutiones (1611). Bartholin began his influential series of revisions in 1641, bringing his father's text up to date in view of the discoveries of Harvey, Aselli and other contemporaries, and presenting his own significant anatomical findings. The first edition of 1641 included the earliest depiction of the fissure of Sylvius, the lateral cerebral fissure, the only part of the surface of the cerebral hemisphere to be given a name between 1641 and the nineteenth century. Sylvius (Franciscus le Bok, 1614-72) first made his neurological observations in 1637, but did not publish his own descriptions until 1663. However, he did collaborate with Bartholin in the latter's revision of the Institutiones, publishing there a series of illustrations of the brain based on his own drawings. Choulant-Frank pp. 245-4; See Garrison-Morton 1377.3; NLM/Krivatsy 736; Waller 702.
