About This Item
FIRST EDITION of one of the best anatomical textbooks of the period. The work collects all of Bauhin's earlier works in one enlarged and revised text with illustrations based on Vasalius, Valverde, Eustachius, Coiter, and others. "In 1605, all [of Bauhin's] anatomical writings were brought together, revised and enlarged and published in Bauhin's most celebrated anatomical textbook, 'Theatrum anatomicum,' which was accompanied by copper engravings based on the drawings of Vesalius and entitled 'Vivae imagines partium corporis.' The 'Theatrum anatomicum' soon acquired the reputation of being the best anatomical textbook available. It was systematic, gave adequate consideration to the ancient authorities, did not go into too much detail over the controversies, had a series of eminently useful footnotes, and mentioned anatomical anomalies and pathological findings. Its illustrations, although poor in comparison with those of Vesalius, were adequate for anyone using the book to accompany an actual dissection. It was this work that William Harvey chose as the basis for his Lumleian Lectures to the College of Physicians in London in 1616" (J. Bylebyl in DSB VI, p 151).
Bauhin (1560-1624) was born at Basel and studied medicine at Padua, Montpellier, and Tübingen (under the botanist Leonhard Fuchs). On his return to Basel in 1580, he was admitted to the degree of doctor, and gave private lectures in botany and anatomy. In 1582 he was appointed to the Greek professorship in that university, and in 1588 to the chair of anatomy and botany. He was later made city physician, professor of the practice of medicine, rector of the university, and dean of his faculty. His anatomical publications drew criticism from the followers of Galen, as did his work on human anatomical nomenclature, particularly of the muscles, but his system was adopted by subsequent anatomists. This work has fine dissection plates in greater number than his earlier books (Garrison-Morton). Page 175, intended for Plate XX of Book 1 curiously left unprinted, perhaps a prudish expurgation of a depiction of the male reproductive system.

For the Appendix: According to VD17, this work was issued in 1605 as an appendix to the Theatrum anatomicum also indicated by the portrait of the author which is dated 1605 in the plate.
