Andreas Vesalius (1514-1564)
Description et demonstration. 1560
[VESALIUS, Andreas (1514-1564)]. Description et demonstration des membres interieurs de l’homme & de la femme, en douze tables. Lyon: Clement Baudin, 1560.
Newly discovered, unique complete copy – only one other (imperfect) copy survives – of Vesalian anatomy, in strictly original condition. As the title-page makes explicit, it was published for the use not only of doctors and surgeons but also artists such as portraitists. Both plates and text derive from Geminus’s highly influential (pirated) redaction of Vesalius’s original text; the engravings are reduced copies and the text is a French translation of his indices keyed to the plates. The only other known copy is an imperfect copy at the BnF, Paris; the copy cited by Baudrier and Cushing at the Royal Library, Stuttgart, was destroyed during World War II. A bibliophile copy with a handsome gilt binding, red-ruled pages and contemporary ownership signature of ‘de Morogues’; a Nicolas de Morogues was secretary to the King in 1588. Baudrier V, 26-27; Cushing, Vesalius, VI-D.-2.
Quarto (248 x 182mm). 12 bifolia, each consisting of a full-page engraved numbered plate printed opposite its letterpress explication, their versos blank, and with title printed on the first recto, 13 anatomical engravings in total, pages ruled in red (a few small spots, small stain just intruding into final upper margins, single marginal wormhole in first 5 and final quire). Contemporary French gilt unlined vellum wrapper with central ornament, original flyleaves, gilt edges, manuscript title on spine, evidence of two fore-edge ties (small loss at edges of both covers, front flyleaf detached, a little soiled). Provenance: De Morogues (contemporary title inscription).
