INTERESSANTI LE TAVOLE di strumenti medici e chirurgici. Include anche il "Compendio della cirugia" del Severino. Il Fabrici insegnò Anatomia a Padova, dove si era formato con Falloppio. Dal 1565 viene ufficialmente chiamato ad occupare la cattedra di chirurgia, che tenne sino alla morte dopo il conferimento della cattedra a vita nel 1600. Medico di illustrissimi personaggi, tra cui il Duca di Urbino, Carlo de' Medici, Galileo Galilei (che lo raccomandò per succedere alla cattedra di Mercuriale a Pisa), Paolo Sarpi etc., unì l'insegnamento e la pratica ad una ricca produzione scientifica, cui attese soprattutto negli anni della vecchiaia. Il manuale di chirurgia che qui si presenta ha formato generazioni di medici nei secc.XVII e XVIII in Italia come in Europa. Summa di straordinaria importanza, si compone di due parti: i primi cinque libri destinati al tema dei tumori, delle ferite, delle ulcere e fistole, dei traumi e delle lussazioni; la seconda parte (intitolata alle operationes chirurgicae) passa in esame i diversi tipi di operazioni indicando, per ciascuna la migliore strumentazione chirurgica da adottare.

Description:
[16], 554, [6] pp.Rare Fischer issue of the first edition of the surgical works of the surgeon, physician and professor of anatomy at the University of Padua, Girolamo Fabrici (1537-1619), his first published work, edited by his student Johann Hartman Beyer, who also contributed a seven-page preface. The book is divided into five numbered "libri" covering tumors, wounds, ulcers and fistulas, fractures and dislocations respectively, still influenced by the classic works of Hippocrates and Galen. Beyer apparently published these surgical works based on his notes of Fabrici's lectures and without his permission, and Fabrici was not pleased, but he tacitly acknowledged them with the publication of an addendum in 1619, the year of his death. In 1594 Fabrici also built the University of Padua's anatomical theatre, which still survives. He studied under Gabriele Falloppio and published his own work on foetal development and especially the placenta in 1600. The English anatomist William Harvey came to Padua… Read More

Description:
Padua: Lorenzo Pasquati, 1603. First edition. Hardcover. THE VALVES OF THE VEINS. First edition, very rare first separate issue (see below), "of the first systematic study of the structure, distribution and position of the venous valves. Although the valves of the veins had been observed previously by G.B. Canano and Amato Lusitano, Fabrici studied them anew on the basis of his own observations. Perhaps because he analyzed anatomical structures in terms of their purpose, he interpreted the function of the valves as slowing down the influx of blood in order to distribute it more evenly to the various parts of the body. Although Fabrici's analysis was in part erroneous, De venarum ostiolis became his most influential work, in that it inspired his student, William Harvey, to conceptualize the circulation of the blood" (Norman). "The sumptuously printed folios which Fabricius published in 1603-1604 were issued separately, and unbound. Though they escaped Choulant's notice, they are among the rarest and… Read More
