714 S.: zahlr. Ill., graph. Darst.; 42 cm Zustand: Illustrierter Leineneinband, Seidenleseband, großes schweres Format. Der hintere Vorsatz war am Rand außerhalb Bild vermutlich durch Leim vom Einband verklebt. Ansonsten tadelloses Exemplar. --- Inhalt: dreisprachig englisch, deutsch, französisch. Jean Marc Bourgery (1797-1849), Chirurg und Anatom, studierte Medizin in Paris bei Laennec und Duyputren, gewann verschiedene Goldmedaillen für seine herausragenden Leistungen an der Pariser Fakultät für Medizin und publizierte in einem Zeitraum von zwanzig Jahren einen achtbändigen Anatomie-Atlas in folio (430 x 320 mm), der zu den umfassendsten und prächtigsten Werken der Medizingeschichte gehört. Auf insgesamt 726 handkolorierten Lithografien, die von Nicolas Henri Jacob (1782-1871), einem Schüler Jacques Louis David, ausgeführt wurden, sind die meisten Präparate lebensgroß abgebildet. Die präzise wie auch ästhetische Darstellung verweist geradezu auf die vorausgegangenen Laboruntersuchungen, die Grundlage jeder einzelnen zeichnerischen Umsetzung bilden. Durch die aufwändige Kolorierung werden die Tafeln schließlich zum erlesensten Anschauungsmaterial, wie ein Vergleich mit unkolorierten Ausgaben sehr deutlich werden lässt. In den acht Bänden dokumentieren die anatomischen Darstellungen u.a. den Skelett- und Bewegungsapparat, die inneren Organsysteme, den Brust-, Bauch- und Beckenraum, das Blut- und Lymphgefäßsystem, das zentrale und periphere Nervensystem - einschließlich der Sinnesorgane. Zwei Bände sind der chirurgischen Anatomie und ihren Techniken, ein Band der mikroskopischen Anatomie gewidmet. Dieses in Vergessenheit geratene Standardwerk der Medizingeschichte bleibt bis heute unübertroffen in der Darstellungsweise! Und es war nur eine Frage der Zeit, einen Reprint der 726 Farbtafeln - einschließlich der sieben Falttafeln - erstmals einem großen Publikum zugänglich zu machen. PS8-2 ISBN: 9783822831298 +++Only outside EU: Book with heavy overweight. I'll ask for more postage. +++ Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 6500 Complete ed. of the coloured plates / ed. by Jean-Marie Le Minor & Henri Sick.

*** FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request ***-*** IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT-Flawless copy, brand new, pristine, never opened--Text in English, French and German. 714 pages. Publisher's description: We owe a great debt to Jean Baptiste Marc Bourgery (1797–1849) for his Atlas of Anatomy, which was not only a massive event in medical history, but also remains one of the most comprehensive and beautifully illustrated anatomical treatises ever published in any language. In 1830, having received his doctorate in medicine three years prior, Bourgery began work on his magnificent atlas in cooperation with illustrator Nicolas Henri Jacob (1782–1871), a student of the French painter Jacques Louis David. The first volumes were published the following year, but completion of the treatise required nearly two decades of dedication; Bourgery lived just long enough to finish his labor of love, but the last of the treatise's eight volumes was not published in its entirety until five years after his death. The four parts of Bourgery's treatise cover descriptive anatomy, surgical anatomy and techniques (exploring in detail nearly all the major operations that were performed during the first half of the 19th century), general anatomy and embryology, and microscopic anatomy. Jacob's spectacular hand-colored, life-size lithographs are remarkable for their clarity, color, and aesthetic appeal, reflecting a combination of direct laboratory observation and illustrative research; the images are to this day unsurpassed in anatomical illustration. This reprint includes the complete color plates—726 in total—and will finally allow not only those in the medical field but also artists, students, and anyone interested in the study of the human body to appreciate this important historical work. --with a bonus offer--
