His cabinet of anatomical specimens, displayed in surreal landscapes, in houses in Amsterdam became a major tourist attraction, the entire collection bought by Tsar Peter the Great in 1717. (12)

Vesalius (Andreas). De humani corporis fabrica libri septem. Basel: Per Ioannem Oporinum, [1555], woodcut title, portrait of the author on a6 verso, numerous woodcut illustrations throughout (including seventeen full-page anatomical illustrations), two folding tables with woodcut diagrams (one on unsigned leaf between bb5 and bb6, short marginal split to inner margin), historiated woodcut initials, lacks final leaf (blank with printer`s device to verso), library stamp to title, dedication, portrait and table leaves, frequent BGH library stamps, mostly to blank lower outer corners, skilful old and small neat paper repairs to three leaves (cc5/6 & dd1) with facsimile` manuscript insertions to a few words and one illustration, some occasional old light dampstaining to inner margins, a few minor marginal splits and worm holes (sig. K) not affecting text, near-contemporary ownership signature of Guilielmus de Mesa (dated 20-4-1596) to upper margin of final leaf verso (printer`s colophon), plus ownership signature of C. Kendall (dated 1729) to front free endpaper, engraved armorial bookplate of the Johnstone family to front pastedown, above and partly on which is written a presentation inscription in 1834 from John Johnstone (1768-1836, physician & biographer) to his nephew James Johnstone (1806-1869, physician, first president of the British Medical Association and founding benefactor of the Birmingham Medical Institute Library), with a brief signed note by the latter to a second free endpaper verso, contemporary blind-stamped vellum over pasteboards with central arabesque to each cover, lacks ties, crude vellum repairs to spine ends and tape repair to upper joint, partly sprung, folio (408 x 272mm), contained in a purpose-made cloth clamshell book box. Second folio edition of the most important anatomical treatise of the sixteenth century and a watershed work in the history of anatomical illustration. Adams V605; Choulant-Frank pp.181-182; Cushing, Vesalius VI.A.-3; G-M 377; Durling 4579; Norman 2139; Osler 568; PMM 71 (describing the 1543 first folio edition); Waller 9901; Wellcome 6562. Heirs of Hippocrates 283: In 1552, a small `pocket` edition of the Fabrica was pirated in Lyons but, as it had no illustrations, it was neither popular nor profitable. For that matter, neither the first nor the second splendid folio edition was profitable, either, and the printer, Oporinus, suffered losses on both. By the time of this second folio edition, the plates from the first edition had been copied in England and throughout Europe, and the prospect for sale of a new edition must have been considerably lessened. Even so, the new edition was even more lavish than the first, with heavier paper and larger type, necessitating an entire recutting of the initial letters. Corrections were made in the text by Vesalius with some rearrangement of both the text and the illustrations. The woodcut title-page has always created much interest. It carries considerable dramatic impact and probably fairly represents, with some theatrical touches, an `anatomy` of the sixteenth century. The block for the second edition was entirely recut and, although it closely resembles that of the first edition, there are a few changes. The unclothed man of the first edition, observing from his perch at the left, is clothed in the second edition, `for no other reason that one can see,` comments Cushing, `unless to save the nun`s embarrassment by clothing the naked figure` (Cushing Vesalius, p. 90). The wood blocks were cut in Venice and transported by mule across the Alps to Basel, where Oporinus - artist, printer, and friend of Vesalius - received them with detailed instructions from the author.` Provenance note: An identically dated ownership signature of Guilielmus (Guilielmi) de Mesa appears in the National Library of Medicine`s copy of Estienne`s De dissectione partium corporis humani libri tres (1545).

Vicq D`Azyr (Felix). Traite d`anatomie et de physiologie, avec des planches coloriees representant au naturel les divers organes de l`homme et des animaux, volume 1 [all published], 1st edition, Paris, 1786, 69 plates, consisting of 34 hand-coloured aquatint plates, 34 number-keyed line engraved plates and a single engraved plate (no. XVIII), by and after Alexandre Briceau, bound without half-title and allegorical frontispiece, some occasional marginal light spotting and dampstains, modern green morocco-backed boards, folio. The most accurate neuroanatomical work produced before the advent of microscopic staining techniques. Vicq d`Azyr identified accurately for the first time many cerebral convolutions, along with various internal structures of the brain. This was the first volume of an ambitious study of anatomy and physiology which remained unfinished at Vicq d`Azyr`s premature death.` (G-M 401.2). Felix Vic d`Azyr (1746-94) was the last physician to Marie-Antionette and Perpetual Secretary of the Societe Royale de Medecine. As an anatomist he pioneered the use of alcohol in brain dissection and described the band of Vicq d`Azyr in the cerebral cortex and the mammillothalamic bundle. The aquatint plates `created a sensation at the time` according to Brunet, the work unfinished due to Vicq d`Azyr`s death in 1794 during the Terror. Brunet V, 1176; Norman 2150; Waller 9953. (1)

Willis gave one of the most extensive accounts of the whole field of mental illness which had appeared up to that time. He attributed `melancholy` or affective psychosis to `passions of the heart`; and `madness` or psychosis accompanied by thought disorder, delusions or hallucinations - that is schizophrenia - to `vice or fault of the Brain`. He recognised the difference between the symptoms of gross brain disease and those of mental illness in which he accounted for the absence of pathological findings by postulating a disturbance of the brain and nerves in terms of disordered `Animal Spirits`. For this reason he is often credited with having first equated mind disease with brain disease` (Hunter & Macalpine, p. 188). (1)

As well as being incredibly influential in the advancement of medicine and science as a whole, he made significant original contributions to cardiology, endocrinology and gastroenterology` (Williams and Sunderland, 2001, p. 506).
