TAGLIACOZZI, Gaspare (1545-1599). De Curtorum Chirurgia per insitionem. Venice: Gasparo Bindoni the younger, 1597.
Large 2o (346 x 242 mm). Large-paper issue. Title printed in red and black. Etched architectural frontispiece with the arms of the dedicatee, Vincenzo Gonzaga, Duke of Mantua, printer's large woodcut device on title, 2 woodcut illustrations on Ee5r, 22 full-page woodcuts showing surgical methods and instruments of plastic surgery. (Some leaves browned, library stamp on frontispiece verso and title, fore-margin extended on C1.) Modern calf antique.
Provenance: Jacobus de Priolis, doctor of medicine (signature on front free endpaper); J.H. Hunt, M.D., Brooklyn (stamp on front free endpaper); Medical Society of Kings County (stamp on frontispiece verso and title margin).
FIRST EDITION OF THE FIRST BOOK EXCLUSIVELY DEVOTED TO PLASTIC SURGERY. First Issue, without the printed license on the title verso. Although Celsus and other earlier writers had discussed aspects of plastic operations, "Tagliaccozzi was the first to work toward establishing their scientific validity by publishing surgical procedures that had for generations been closely guarded secrets, and by improving these procedures in the light of the best medical knowledge of his day" (Norman). The series of 22 fine woodcuts in book III depict the instruments and progressive steps of the various reconstructive operations through the post-operative stage.
This copy belongs to a limited issue on large and thick paper. Although there are four other recorded copies on heavy paper, all without imprimatur on title verso, Mortimer notes copies on ordinary paper also without the imprimatur; its presence is therefore not characteristic of special-paper copies. Adams T-59; Garrison-Morton 5734; Gnudi-Webster pp. 183-216; Grolier Medicine 23 (this copy); Mortimer/Harvard Italian 488; Norman 2048.
