Title: A collection of manuscripts concerning the early days of the Osaka Medical School, 1872-75
Author: OSAKA IGAKKO (OSAKA MEDICAL SCHOOL)
Seller: Jonathan A. Hill, Bookseller, Inc. (United States)
Description: Ca. 52 leaves. 8vo (leaves of various sizes but averaging 285 x 203 mm.), written on paper with pre-printed columns, stitched together. Osaka: 1872-75. The Osaka Medical School, today part of Osaka University and one of the finest medical schools in Japan, traces its origins and traditions to the Tekijuku, an academy founded by Koan Ogata (1810-63), which based its teaching on Western learning, mostly from the Dutch. The newly created Meiji government established the Osaka Medical School in 1869, with the help of Ogata’s son Koreyoshi and the Dutch doctor Antonius Franciscus Bauduin (1822-85). This was part of the massive effort in Japan to modernize. The “Fundamental Code of Education,” promulgated in 1872, established a centralized national educational system which concentrated on Western science and technology. These manuscripts document the transformation of the medical school into a national institution. Details regarding rules for employees, contracts for foreign employees (including salaries), housing, matters of finance, terms of severance, standards regarding the making of pharmaceutical products, lists of foreign employees, correspondence with government officials, etc. In fine condition. With the seal of the Shinto priest and physician Yasuaki (or Kosho) Nakano (1874-1947), and his private library, Daido Yakushitsu. He was a major collector of kanpo (the Japanese study of traditional Chinese medicine), calligraphy, maps, illustrated scrolls, waka poetry, and paintings.

Title: Dawn
Author: BUTLER Octavia
Seller: Bauman Rare Books (United States)
Description: 1987. First Edition. Signed. BUTLER, Octavia. Dawn: Xenogenesis. (New York): Warner, (1987). Octavo, original half navy cloth, original dust jacket. $2000.First edition of the visionary first novel in the innovative Xenogenesis trilogy, boldly signed on the title page by Butler""the first Black woman to win Hugo and Nebula awards""a beautiful copy in the original dust jacket.Dawn, the first novel in Butler's Xenogenesis trilogy (aka Lilith's Brood), begins hundreds of years after a global nuclear holocaust and is centered around Lilith Iyapo, a Black woman who awakens from suspended animation to find herself held captive on an interplanetary ship of the Oankali, aliens who practice gene trading to exchange genetic information with other species. ""Evocative of the biblical first but defiant wife of Adam,"" Lilith is told by one of the Oankali, ""Your Earth is still your Earth, but between the efforts of your people to destroy it and ours to restore it, it has changed You will become something other than you were' The Oankali have left the species with little choice and Lilith must come to terms with the ambivalence of the circumstances that are simultaneously salvation and slavery, evolutionary and exploitative, transformation and cooptation"" (Chang, ""Drawing the Oankali,"" 81-2). Butler, who died in 2006, ""walked a singular path she became the first science fiction author to be granted a MacArthur fellowship, and the first Black woman to win Hugo and Nebula awards"" (New York Times). As in all her work, Dawn's ""leitmotif of bondage situates her firmly in the African American literary tradition, which is infused with the racial memories of slavery"" (Oxford Companion to African American Literature, 113-14). ""Butler's concern with racism and sexism is a conscious part of her vision confronting this problem head on, she placed her heroines in worlds filled with racial and sexual obstacles, forcing her characters to survive."" These features made Butler a revolutionary ""voice in the traditional domains of science fiction, feminism and Black literature"" (Salvaggio, Octavia Butler, 78). To Library of America editor Gerry Caravan, ""she seems to have seen the real future coming in a way few other writers did it's hard not to read [her] books and think 'How did she know?'"" (USA Today). First edition, first printing; first printing dust jacket with price of $15.95, ""0587"" on lower corner of front flap. The cover art of this first edition later became controversial for whitewashing the protagonist, described in the text as a Black woman. Clute & Nicholls, 180-81. Book in fine condition, in a very nearly fine dust jacket with spine slightly toned. An attractive signed copy.
