Collated complete against Choulant; "5 leaves of preliminaries." "Gulielmus Cowper, criminis literarii citatiis" read the splashy title of Govard Bidloo's (1649-1714) polemic pamphlet accusing English anatomist William Cowper (1666-1709) of blatant plagiarism in the year 1700. Bidloo's anatomia hvmani corporis had been released to the European market 15 years prior to tepid applause. Bidloo had garnered recognition as a professor at the Hague, at the University of Leiden, and as personal physician to William of Orange, but the expense of the work's production left little profit to enjoy. After a similarly fruitless Dutch language edition, Bidloo's publisher sold the plates for the behemoth medical text to Dr. Cowper, who went on to reissue them under his title, Anatomy of the humane bodies (Oxford, 1698). The plates -- executed from the lush and often tender illustrations of Gérard de Lairesse (1640-1711) -- were immediately recognizable. Cowper had gone as far as using Bidloo's engraved allegorical title-page, merely amended with a piece of lettered paper which neatly fit over the original title. In his (seemingly facetiously titled) rebuttal, ?????????? in qua dotes plurimae et singulares Godefridi Bidloo, perita anatomica, prohitas, etc., celebrantur et ejusdem citationi humillime respondetu, Cowper claimed that Bidloo was never the rightful owner of the plates, and that they had been commissioned for Dutch biologist, Joannis à Someren. The editors of Heirs of Hippocrates herald the debacle as "one of the most famous instances of plagiarism in the history of medicine." The scuffle between the anatomists was moot, as the scientific accuracy later proved to be lacking. The real triumph was in de Lairesse's artistry. In Amsterdam during the latter half of the XVIIc, the pious austerity of the Protestant Dutch in Rembrandt's age had given way to unbridled opulence, and de Lairesse's classical style took part in defining the Baroque age. It made him one of, if not the most popular painter in Amsterdam at the time. Garrison-Morton testifies that "the value of Bidloo's anatomia lies chiefly in the 105 fine copperplate engravings" and Choulant notes that "[the depictions] all have a great many accessory.the drawing of the nude figures is entirely in French taste and.the engraving is most elegantly done and is artistically perfect." The work has been celebrated for centuries as a continuation of Vesalius's Renaissance project but is surely unrivaled in its own age. Dr. Michael D. Paul was a nephrologist, an impassioned supporter of special collections, and a dedicated patron of dealers in fine printing and rare Judaica. Through his support, the Jewish Public Library launched the Dr. Michael D. Paul Rare Books Initiative, which worked to bring its 1,500 rare texts to the public through visits to secondary schools, community centers, libraries, and synagogues. In memoriam for Dr. Paul, JPL's director, Eddie Paul, aptly summarized the collector's life and work, writing, "Kidneys filter and clear toxins from the blood; books help to clarify and filter the detritus the world throws at the imagination."

Il volume, in sé completo, costituisce la terza parte del "Museum Florentinum exhibens insigniora vetustatis monumenta quae Florentiae sunt. Ioanni Gastoni Etruriae magno duci dedicatum", come indicato al primo frontespizio. Al colophon compare la notazione a stampa 'Sumptibus Sociorum Nobilium Florentinorum'. Il "Museum florentinum", probabilmente la principale intrapresa editoriale fiorentina del XVIII secolo, è una monumentale opera iconografica, pubblicata in 12 volumi dal Nestenus e dal Moücke dal 1731 al 1766, per celebrare in maniera sontuosa le straordinarie collezioni antiquarie dei Medici a Firenze. Gli altri volumi rappresentano i quadri (compilati da Orazio Marrini), le gemme e le monete (anch'essi opera del Gori). "Anton Francesco Gori (Firenze, 1691 ? Firenze, 1757) fu un noto erudito e studioso di archeologia, che il granduca Gian Gastone dei Medici nominò professore di storia sacra e profana presso lo Studio Fiorentino nel 1730. Qualche anno più tardi il Gori diede inizio all?imponente progetto editoriale del Museum Florentinum, dedicato a Gian Gastone dei Medici, che intendeva illustrare le antichità e gli oggetti artistici conservati, perlopiù, nelle collezioni granducali. Per finanziare l?impresa venne costituita una società di nobili sostenitori. La pubblicazione fu affidata al letterato-tipografo Francesco Möucke e, per eseguire le incisioni che riproducevano le opere, furono chiamati artisti illustri, come Giovanni Domenico Campiglia. Vennero pubblicati preziosi tomi sulle gemme antiche, sulle sculture che tuttora possiamo ammirare lungo le pareti della Galleria delle Statue e delle Pitture delle Gallerie degli Uffizi, sulle collezioni numismatiche granducali ed infine i volumi della Serie di ritratti degli eccellenti pittori dipinti di propria mano, con le incisioni che riproducevano la celeberrima serie degli autoritratti iniziata dal cardinale Leopoldo de? Medici" (dal sito delle Gallerie degli Uffizi). Fu proprio il Gori che nel 1737, in occasione della traslazione della salma di Galileo Galilei nel sepolcro monumentale di Santa Croce, staccò dalla salma il dito medio della mano destra, attualmente conservato nel Museo Galileiano di Firenze. > Moreni, I, 450, "L'Edizione di quest'opera magnifica fù intrapresa da una Società di Nobili, i quali dettero l'incarico della medesima al nostro celebre Antiquario Ant. Francesco Gori . Il vol.III in altre 100 Tavole ci dà le più belle statue della galleria medicea con le opportune osservazioni . Gl'Intagli sono molto eleganti, e tutta l'Opera, e per la carta, e carattere, ed ornati, è sommamente magnifica". Cicognara, 3417, "Tutti i Bibliografi hanno scritto sul merito di questa gr 7000 gr.

First Latin edition. - Adaptation of the highly impressive and detailed anatomical plates first published by the Dutch surgeon Govard Bidloo (1649-1713). Bidloo had already published his Anatomia Humani Corporis in Amsterdam in 1685; the illustrations were based on drawings by Gerard de Lairesse (1640-1711). Sales, however, were apparently quite slow, and much to Bidloo's displeasure, Cowper (1666-1709) acquired 300 complete sets of the plates from the publisher. He published these, along with a new text, under a new title and under his own name. His own contribution to the pictorial program consisted only of nine additional plates on myology, which he had drawn by Henry Cook (1642-1700) and engraved by Michiel van der Gucht (1660-1725).,.References: Choulant 95 - Wellcome II, 401 - cf.

The 9 final plates added by Cowper were drawn by Henry Cook and engraved by Michael van der Gucht.
