Nuck Antonius (7 results)

Hardcover. Condition: Good. 2nd Edition. Leiden: Apud Jord. Luchtmans, 1696. Second edition. A foundational work in early anatomical science, Adenographia Curiosa by the Dutch anatomist Antonius Nuck (16501692) presents one of the earliest systematic studies of the glands and lymphatic system, along with a pioneering anatomical description of the female reproductive organs, including what would later be referred to as "Nuck's canal." The text offers detailed observational accounts, experimental findings, and clinical implications relating to glandular structure and lymph circulation. The accompanying engravings, finely executed and folding to large format, provide clear demonstrations of the microscopic and gross anatomy central to Nuck's research. This 1696 edition is expanded with Nuck's important inaugural medical dissertation on the circular motion of bile and its pathological effects, reflecting the transitional medical thought between humoral and early mechanistic physiology. The work became influential in anatomical teaching throughout the late 17th and early 18th centuries and represents a critical step in the development of reproductive and lymphatic anatomical understanding. Condition & Binding: Bound in a later (likely 19th-century) half-leather over cloth boards, with gilt title to spine ("Nuck's Anatome"). Binding shows visible edge wear, scuffing to corners and spine, and some cracking along joints, but remains sound and intact overall. Text is generally clean and legible, with expected toning and mild scattered foxing. Plates are present and fold-outs remain intact, though several exhibit creasing, edge wear, and small closed tears from handling, but without significant loss to printed image. Title leaf shows some toning and light handling marks. Overall- good.
