Geminus (Thomas, c. 1510-1562). Compendiosa totius anatomie delineatio aere exarata, 1st or 2nd English issue, Imprynted at London by Nycholas Hyll dwellynge in Saynte Johns streate, for Thomas Geminus, [1553], forty engraved plates, Adam & Eve double-page plate with figures trimmed close and just touching a fingertip of each, relaid on to two facing leaves, lacks the armorial, architecutral and allegorical engraved title here supplied in an early and possibly near-contemporary manuscript facsimile using silverpoint and sepia ink, manuscript details of the 1559 imprint incorporated at foot, central panel excised and left blank (Royal Coat of Arms in the 1553 editions, portrait of Queen Elizabeth I in the 1559 edition), a few minor tears and small loss to lower right margin, the whole leaf relaid, dedication leaf for King Edward VI, slightly browned and soiled, old inscription of Watt Tooke(?) dated 167[?] to upper outer corner and slightly trimmed, dedication leaf verso To the ientill readers and Surgeons of Englande`, dated 1552, tiny holes to leaves A1 (old ink spash), G1 and G6, split to lower margin of B7, old ink marginalia to C1 verso, archival closed tear repairs to F1 including horizontal split across image and lower outer corner of text block, marginal paper repair to same leaf not affecting text, first cerebral engraved plate trimmed into plate impression touching image, I2 duplicated, upper marginal wormholes not affecting text or plates of leaves I3 to end, final leaf slightly browned and chipped at inner margin, with two small tears and loss not affecting text, leaf reattached at inner margin to endpaper, some other general spotting and soiling, old marginal dampstaining confined largely to preliminaries, signatures A-B and final leaf, library cloth, folio (369 x 258 mm) The Latin Geminus of 1545 and the English edition of 1553 were the first illustrated textbooks of anatomy to be published in this country and the forty illustrations were printed from the first copper plates to be executed here. Encouraged by the success of his Latin edition of Vesalius, Geminus was persuaded, possibly by Vesalius`s old roommate John Caius, to prepare a version of the Vesalian plates with English text for the benefit of `unlatined surgeons.` As he doubted his proficiency in English, Geminus sought the aid of Nicholas Udall, dramatist (he wrote the comedy Ralph Royster Doyster) and prebendary of Windsor, to translate the characterum indices of the Vesalian plates. The English text chosen to accompany the plates was an early translation of the Surgery of Henri de Mondeville, which Thomas Vicary, surgeon to Henry VIII, had used almost word for word in his own Anatomie of the bodie of man (1548). The text was rearranged in Geminus`s book to follow the traditional order of conducting a dissection, beginning with the viscera and ending with the bones in order to dissect first those parts which would most quickly putrefy` (Norman 887). Collation *2[-*1], A6, B7, C-I6 [I2 duplicated], K2; forty engraved plates. Additionally, bound before and after the dedication leaf are to be found three pages of Explanation leaves relating to the fugitive sheet of a seated Adam and Eve with flaps (see Russell 308). Two copies of the first sheet have been used to show recto and verso; the verso of sheet two was blank. Each page is slightly cut down at head and foot, trimmed close at the foremargin affecting text in most lines and relaid on three sheets. The text of this impressive work is in double column, black letter, and with crible metal-cut initials. A watermark of a pot or gauntlet and star is visible in many of the sheets. The illustrations comprise the external anatomy of Adam and Eve (here separated and mounted on two sheets), three skeletal engravings, sixteen muscular engravings, five arterial and venal engravings, four neural engravings, six engravings of organs, four cerebral engravings and one engraving of ocular parts and surgical instruments. These are all based on Vesalian woodcuts to be found in the Fabrica and the Epitome. The first edition in English is extremely rare, the copies produced being so well-used that few have survived in any semblance of good condition. The Norman copy of the undated first issue claimed to be the only complete copy in private hands. There are two English versions of 1553, (STC 11715.5 & 11716), that with an undated title-page being claimed as the first issue. Both are otherwise identical and bear the same imprint at the rear as found in this copy, and not found in any other edition identified. The matter is further complicated by the presence of the three added pages of explanation to accompany the fugitive plate of a seated Adam and Eve (not included in this copy), that though not part of the collation, are often found in copies of the 1559 edition. This copy in the main body of text (excepting the last leaf which is slightly browned and spotted and separated from the main body of text) is in very good order with only the presence of the usual light Birmingham Medical Institute library stamps affecting the freshness of the plates. For further discussions of this remarkable volume see Russell 830-833 (and 308), Cushing VI.C.-2, Norman 887. See also an article by S.V. Larkey, The Library, XIII (1932-33), pp. 367-94. (1)
