First printing of Schwann's milestone paper on fermentation and putrefaction in which he shows that is is not air as such that brings about putrefaction in a meat extract but something in the air, which could be destroyed by heat. The ""substances "" present in air is germs or seeds of moulds and infusoria, and he explains putrefaction as the action of these germs on access to organic material. He further demonstrates that it is the living nature of the agent that creates fermentation, and he presents new evidence for the nature of fermentation. ""Schwann was lead to the idea that alcoholic fermentation was related to the metabolism of yeast by his conception that putrefaction was related to the metabolism of live organisms.""(DSB XII, p. 242).""(Schwann) concluded that the processes of putrefaction and fermentation were probably similar in their essence and were due to live agents which obtaineed their sustenance from the fermentible or putrescible materials. It was in the course of these experiments that Schwann discovered and gave an accurate acoount of the yeast plant and its mode of reproducing by budding. In his paper (the paper offered) he anticipated Pasteur's work when he asserted that fermentation of sugar was a chemical decomposition brought about by yeast attacking the sugar and some nitrogen containing substance necessary for its life whereby the elements not used by yeast itself unite to form alcohol. This classical research by him was described by him as 'preliminary' (vorläufige) and at the end of it he promised to return to it. This he did, to a certain extent in his ""Mikroskopische Untersuchungen"" (1839 - PMM 307 b), and he added new experiments to confirm his view that alcoholic fermentation is due to the activity of the yeast plant.""(Bulloch ""The History of Bacteriology"", pp. 86-87).Schwann gives the ""proof that putrefaction is produced by living bodies. Independently of Cagniard-Latour, Schwann discovered the yeast cell. He is regarded as the founder of the germ theory of putrefaction and fermentation.""(Garrison & Morton No. 674).

First appearance of an importent paper in the history of biology, in which Schwann describes his discovery and isolation of pepsin, the substance in the stomach that aids digestion of eggwhite. It is the FIRST KNOWN ANIMAL ENZYME. The paper appeared at the same time in ""Annalen der Physik und Chemie. Hrsg. von J.C. Poggendorff"".Theodor Schwann (1810-1882) was a great German physiologist, pathologist, and experimenter. One of the founders of the cell doctrine and of the idea of the living nature of yeast. Born at Neuss, near Düsseldorff. A catholic, educated in the Jesuit Gymnasium in Cologne. Intended for the church but took to medicine. He was a pupil of Johannes Müller and a collegueand lifelong friend of J. Henle, the anatomist. In Berlin Schwann was Johannes Müller's assistent for five years, and it was then that he discovered pepsin in 1836 (the paper offered).Parkinson ""Breakthroughs"" 1836 B. - Garrison & Morton no. 991.The first paper offered, written together with Johannes Müller records the preliminary investigaions leading to the discovery of Pepsin. - Garrison & Morton no. 990.The volume also contains another famous paper by ROBERT REMAK ""Vorläufige Mittheilung microscopischer Beobachtungen über den innern Bau der Cerebrospinalnerven und über die Entwicklung ihrer Formenelemente.

Hanicq, 1858, large in-4°, 36 x 25 cm, (48) nn pp ( with 2 full page wood-engravings) + 488 pp + cxxxi pp + (7) pp + 66 pp ( Missae propriae sanctorum archidioecesis Coloniensis). All pages printed in red and black and within typographicals fillets. With numerous large woodcut initials. With a total of 9 full page wood-engravings made by H. Brown ( some signed in the woodblock). Interior genarally fine with the exception of the (daily used) canon part of the missal. These pages show some thumbing and wear. BINDING: Full brown morocco over wooden boards , raised spine with gilt title . All edges gilt, with matching leather tabs bearing gilt initials. Both covers have four large nearly rectangular recesses around a small central lozange. Marbled endpapers. The binding has two large silver-plated clasps and 8 silver-plated corner protections, together with on both covers 4 hexagonal silver-plated studs. On the inside of the movable parts of the clasps is engraved '' D. 27 Novemb. 1858 Th. & B '', on the other clasp '' P. Schwann''. From the contents of the missal we may deduce that its first use was for the diocese of Cologne ( Köln) in Germany. The meaning of the engraved inscriptions remain unclear. It could be the name of the donor, the first owner, or even the bookbinder. Fine specimen of a missal of the Roman Catholic Church in a very well preserved spectacular binding with metal ornaments and clasps. The missal, always in Latin, was the most important book in the Roman catholic liturgy and served during mass (Eucharist celebration). It was made universal for the Church at the Council of Trent (1545-1563) and virtually made redundant at the Second Vatican Council in the 1960's.
