NUCK, Anton (1650-1692). Adenographia curiosa et uteri foeminei anatome nova. Leiden: L. Luchtmans, 1691.
8o (160 x 94 mm). Engraved additional title (reinforced along gutter) and 9 engraved folding plates at end (tear through image of last plate). Modern vellum. Provenance: Herbert McLean Evans (bookplate).
FIRST EDITION of the first description of the "canal of Nuck," presenting Nuck's studies on the lymphatics of the kidneys, uterus, ovaries, peritoneum, etc. Pages 130ff. describe Nuck's discovery of the inguinal canal, nambed after him the "canal of Nuck." Also significant was Nuck's experiment in which he ligatured the uterine horns after copulation in a dog, and observed pregnancy afterwards, implantation having taken place above the ligature. He concluded that the embryo was derived from the ovary and not from the sperm. According to Neeham, this is "very important, as one of the earliest instances of experimental procedure" (History of Embryology, p.163). The first edition is quite scarce. Cushing N132; Garrison-Morton 1213.
