Seller: Heritage Book Shop, LLC

Title: De conceptu et generatione hominis
Author: RUEFF, Jakob
Seller: Heritage Book Shop, LLC (United States)
Description: Frankfurt: [Peter Schmidt for Sigmund Feyerabend], 1587. Full Description: RUEFF, Jakob. De conceptu et generatione hominis, De matrice et eius partibus, nec non de conditione infantis in utero, et gravidarum cura et officio., Frankfurt: [Peter Schmidt for Sigmund Feyerabend], 1587. Third Latin edition and second edition to contain the woodcuts of Jost Amman which are the "first true anatomical pictures in an obstetrics book." (Garrison and Morton). These woodcuts were first used in the 1580 edition. Small quarto (7 3/8 x 5 1/4 inches; 190 x 135 mm.). [6], 92 leaves. Without blank leaf at end of preliminaries [B2} as usual. Title printed in red and black. Large woodcut title vignette and numerous woodcut illustrations, some of which are full-page. Full vellum. All edges speckled red. Vellum with a few spots and marks. Leaves are a bit toned throughout. Some sporadic dampstaining. Previous owner's bookplate on front pastedown. Still a very good copy with intricate woodcuts. "[The 1580 edition] was the first edition to contain the woodcuts of Jost Amman(1539-1591), the Swiss-born illustrator. They include two scenes of a pregnant noblewoman and of a woman giving birth with the midwife in attendance, 26 cuts of the uterus and developing foetus, 5 of obstetrical instruments and 3 of abdominal organs. A large number of cuts are also devoted to human deformities and monsters. Although there is still some religious basis to the latter, Rueff's was the first obstetrical book to contain meaningful anatomical illustrations, and remained in use for the best part of a century." (Christie's) Rueff (1500-1558) was a physician and professor of medicine in his native Zurich. "Based on Rösslin's best-selling Rosengarten, but intended for physicians and scholars as well as midwives, De conceptu was more than a practical handbook of midwifery. Among its illustrations are three full-page woodcuts of the female reproductive organs derived from Vesalius's Fabrica, a correct representation of the birthing stool, the toothed 'duck-bill' pincer for removing a dead fetus and a series of smaller cuts depicting both real and imaginary monstrosities, which Rueff believed to be the work of the devil. Of greater interest, however, is the series of seven woodcuts illustrating contemporary ideas of mammalian embryology, which provide a unique and valuable insight into how early writers envisioned the process of embryonic development. Rueff's illustrations, based upon the writings of Galen and Aristotle, show the mixture of blood and semen coagulating in the womb into an egg-shaped mass; the subsequent development of organs and blood-vessels (taken from observations of chicken embryos); the arrangement of these into an outline of the human form; and the completed fetus" (Norman Library regarding the First Edition). Garrison and Morton. NLM/Durling 3982. Norman Library 1856 (First edition). HBS 68972. $4,500.

Seller: Ken Sanders Rare Books, ABAA (United States)
Condition: Very Good +
Description: Chicago, Illinois: Industrial Workers of the World (2422 Halsted St. Norte), 8211. Printed in Morelia, Mexico. Pamphlet. Very Good +. 23 pp. [+4 pp. insert bound at the center between pages 10 and 11.] Octavo [23 cm]; side-stapled in printed wrappers. Just a bit of toning to some of the internal pages. This copy is clean and in excellent shape, with just a soft, faint central vertical crease that runs throughout. Spanish language edition; a translation or variation of the IWW informational and organizing pamphlet "One Big Union of All the Workers..." or "One Big Union of The IWW..." etc (reference: Miles 4393–4397). The single-sheet [4 pp.] insert prints the Errata for this work on one side, and an illustration of "Father Thomas J. Hagerty's Wheel" which is a circular diagram of the structure of the IWW's industrial union system. "Father" Thomas J. Hagerty (b. 1862) was a Catholic priest, a co-founder of the IWW, the author of the IWW's omnipresent "Preamble" text, and the creator of this chart, "Hagerty's Wheel" (see: https://archive.iww.org/history/biography/FatherHaggerty/ and https://archive.iww.org/about/official/wheel/). Shortly after the establishment of the IWW in 1905, Hagerty left both the Catholic church and the radical political movement. Late in life, before his death sometime in the 1920s, Hagerty was reported by some of his former union comrades to be living in voluntary poverty on the streets of Chicago.

Condition: Very Good
Description: Buenos Aires [London]: Editorial Viau SRL [R. Ackermann], 1943. Very Good. Buenos Aires: Editorial Viau SRL, 1943; facsimile of volume originally published by R. Ackermann in London in 1820. Limited Reprint Edition of 3470, of which this is No.1489. Quarto; xxviii + 115pp. Twenty-five full-color watercolors reproduced on 24 bound-in plates, including four landscape-format fold-out plates. Broché in cream cardstock, with front cover reproducing original 1820 allegorical frame in brown. Nude spine. Binding toned, minimally soiled, all corners politely abraded. Spine paper flaking and showing six vertical cracks, but holding well. About one third of back cover detached at joint but still stably connected. All illustrations present with bright colors and without misfolds; textblock unmarred and unmarked. Vidal was a British naval officer and talented watercolorist. His work is celebrated for the enlightened conspectus of landscape, cityscape, social mores, financial structures, and multiple demographic and social classes he sought to describe. His watercolors-all clear, handsome, and informative-avoid the predictably picturesque to show, without condescension, what was striking and different about lives in Argentina. The overall tone of both images and text is documentary; the overall result is far more enlightening than the usual colonial travelogue.
