MONTAÑA de MONSERRATE, Bernardino (1480-1558). Libro de la anothomia del hombre. Valladolid: Sebastián Martinez, 1551.
2° (285 x 195mm). Title in red and black with large woodcut coat-of-arms, sectional title on K2 with woodcut border signed 'S.M.', and 12 large (three-quarter page) anatomical woodcuts in text. (A few minor stains to title and a few other leaves.) Contemporary or near contemporary yapped vellum, gilt rules on sides, spine lettered in manuscript (foot of spine worn and vellum darkened). Provenance: Ahumada (bookplate on front paste-down).
FIRST EDITION OF THE FIRST ILLUSTRATED SPANISH ANATOMICAL WORK, and the first work to introduce Vesalian anatomical figures to a Spanish audience. 'While Valverde di Hamusco's Historia de la composición del cuerpo humano (1556) is often credited with introducing into Spain the Vesalian anatomical iconography coupled with a vernacular text, this honor actually belongs to Montaña de Monserrate's Anothomia, whose twelve anatomical cuts included nine copies from either the Fabrica or the Epitome. These nine cuts, all of them reduced and simplified, included three Vesalian "musclemen", two plates representing the venous and arterial systems, two plates of the peripheral and central nervous systems, a figure combining Vesalian representations of the genito-urinary and thoracic organs, and a reversed copy of the Fabrica's first skeleton plate. Of the remaining three plates two, illustrating views of the skeleton, were derived from Berengario and Dryander, while the third, a crude semi-schematic representation of the thoracic and abdominal organs, is probably original. As the woodcut border is signed with the initials of the printer, Sebastián Martinez, it is likely that he executed the woodcuts. RARE. Cushing Vesalius (addenda) 598; Durling 2339; Garrison-Morton 378.01; Norman 1540; Waller 6647; Wellcome 4406.
