Beskrivelse av varen
Microcosmographia [In Greek]. A Description of the Body of Man. Together with the controversies thereto belonging. Collected and translated out of all the best authors of anatomy especially out of Gasper Bauhinus and Andreas Laurentius. By Helkiah Crooke.
Trykket av William Jaggard (sannsynligvis 1616). 1111 sider, komplett. Folio format. Senere rødbrunt halvskinnbind med opphøyde ryggbånd. TIttel i gull på rygg. Bindet med overfladeslitasje og bruksspor.
Delvis avrevet tittelblad (muligens sensurert grunnet det kontroversielle trykket av en naken gravid kvinne). Første og siste sider litt frynsete i ytterkantene. Noen få spredte pletter, innholdet for det meste rent og pent. Masse illustrasjoner i boken. Meget sjelden tittel.
"Crooke's work was the first truly comprehensive treatise on anatomy in English, and the first anatomical work produced in England or in English since John Banester's Historie of Man (1578). Crooke took his text primarily from Gaspard Bauhin's Theatrum Anatomicum (1605), but also relied on the works of du Laurens, Vesalius, Casserio, Paaw and other Continental anatomists. His illustrations, taken from Vesalius via Bauhin, represent the last notable use of the Vesalian illustrations in an English anatomical text. Since English medicine in the 16th and 17th centuries tended to lag behind medicine in Europe, especially in the area of anatomy, Crooke's Mikrokosmographia, which drew on European sources, represented a significant contribution to English knowledge of anatomy as it had developed on the Continent."
"Helkiah Crooke (1576 – 1648) was Court physician to King James I of England. He is best remembered for his textbook on anatomy, Mikrokosmographia, a Description of the Body of Man. He was the first qualified doctor to be appointed Keeper of Royal Bethlem Hospital, but his conduct as Keeper was so unsatisfactory that he was eventually removed from that office on the grounds of corruption and absenteeism.
Among Helkiah's patients was William Jaggard, who later became famous as the publisher of William Shakespeare; Helkiah is said to have treated Jaggard for syphilis. It was Jaggard who in 1615 published Helkiah's best-known work, Mikrokosmographia. The book was a popular success, although it caused some controversy, partly because it was written in English, and partly because it criticised the teachings of Galen, which were still accepted without question by most of the medical profession. In addition, it contained frank illustrations of the human sexual organs, leading the Church authorities to denounce it as "indecent". Perhaps because of Helkiah's position at Court, the controversy did his reputation little damage and a second edition appeared in 1631. How much of the book was original has been disputed: it has been described as a compilation, with little original observation; some critics accused Helkiah of outright plagiarism."
