RIOLAN, Jean (1577-1657). A Sure Guide, or the Best and Nearest Way to Physick and Chyrurgery: that is to say, The Art of Healing by Medicine, and Manual Operation. Translated by Nicholas Culpeper. London: Peter Cole, 1657.
2o (268 x 181 mm). 24 engraved plates. (Last plate wrinkled, some light browning and staining, running title of T1 trimmed, Bb4 with corner torn away, some short marginal tears.) Contemporary calf (upper cover detached). Provenance: John Jackson (early signature); William Such (early signature); Pat Campell (early signature); Joseph Buckshorn, 1695 (early signature).
FIRST EDITION IN ENGLISH of Riolan's Encheiridium Anatomicum et Pathologicum (1647). One of the greatest teachers of anatomy of the seventeenth century, Jean Riolan the younger is most often recalled as the one scholar Harvey saw fit to respond to in print for his criticisms of De motu cordis. Riolan's name is associated with several different muscles: the marginal bundle of the orbicularis palpebrarum, the cremaster, and the muscles and ligaments arising from the styloid process; also with the arterial anastomoses of intestinal vessels ("Riolan's arcade") and the anastomoses between the superior and inferior mesenteric arteries. The illustrations in this book were copied from the first illustrated edition of Vesling's Syntagma Anatomicum (1647), and had been previously used by the translator, Nicholas Culpeper, for his English translation of Vesling's work published in 1653. Cushing R-170; Heirs of Hippocrates 451 (third edition); Osler 3810; Russell, British Anatomy 1525-1800, 704; Wing R-1525.
