‎ROMA NICOLO ANGELO TINASSI 1672‎

‎Prima edizione del 1672 di questa opera, una pietra miliare nel campo della chirurgia del medico e anatomista Bernardino Genga (Mondolfo 1620 - Roma 1690). Bernardino Genga (1620-1690), fu uno dei più celebri anatomisti e studiosi di medicina del seicento e uno dei massimi esperti delle opere di Ippocrate della sua epoca. Fu tra i primi ad esprimersi in favore dell'insegnamento della circolazione del sangue. Tra i suoi interessi grande rilievo ebbero la preparazione di preparati anatomici, nonché l'anatomia della scultura antica greca e romana. Nato a Mondolfo nel Ducato di Urbino praticò l'arte chirurgica presso l'Ospedale di Santo Spirito in Sassia. Nell'opera qui presentata Genga sottolinea l'importanza della conoscenza dell'anatomia umana da parte dei chirurghi indicando diverse tecniche chirurghe e descrivendo casi pratici anche nell'ambito della odontoiatria.

First edition of 1672 of this work, a milestone in the field of surgery by the physician and anatomist Bernardino Genga (Mondolfo 1620 - Roma 1690). Bernardino Genga (1620-1690), was one of the most famous anatomists and scholar of meedicine of 17th century and one of the most important experts of works of Hyppocratis of his time.

He was born in Mondolfo in Ducato di Urbino and practiced surgery in the Hospital of Santo Spirito in Sassia. In this work Genga underlines the improtance of human anatomy by surgeons indicating different surgical techniques and describing practical cases in the field of teeth care "the first book devoted entirely to surgical anatomy" Rif.

‎Rome, Nicoloò Angelo Tinassi, 1672. Small 8vo. Near contemporary full calf biding with five raised bands to richly gilt spine. All edges of boards gilt. Hinges, capitals and corners with wear. Cords showing at front hinge, but still tight. Slight spotting to margins of title-page and some scattered brownspotting (not heavy). Overall a fine, unrestored copy with wide margins. Book plate to inside of front board and an old library stamp (Académie de Chirurgie) to title-page. (26), 455, (1) pp. Engraved frontispiece.‎

‎The rare first edition of the first book devoted entirely to surgical anatomy. Genga's milestone work founded the discipline of anatomical surgery" it was frequently reprinted and remained a widely used manual for decades after its first appearance. Genga furthermore, in the tract appended to this work (i.e the ""Breve Discorso"" on the circulation of the blood, pp. 420-448), showed himself to be one of the first Italians to accept Harvey's theory on the circulation of blood. ""Though anatomy was hitherto cultivated with much success as illustrating the natural history and morbid states of the human body, yet little had been done for the elucidation of local diseases, and the surgical means by which they may have been successfully treated. The idea of applying anatomical knowledge directly to this purpose appears to have originated with Barnardin Genga, a Roman surgeon, who published in 1672, at Rome, a work entitled ""Surgical Anatomy, or the Anatomical History of the Bones and Muscles of the Human Body, with the description of the Blood-vessels"". This work, which reached a second edition in 1687, is highly creditable to the author, who appears to have studied intimately the mutual relations of different parts."" (Encyclopaedia Britannica). This foundational work, Genga's first work, was extremely influential and widely used. It was reprinted a number of times within the following decades. The first edition of it is of great scarcity. Most of the bibliographies only have later editions, and one of the few copies that are listed on OCLC is incomplete, lacking the title-page. We have only been able to locate one copy at auction within the last 40 years (in 1979).
