verses, by G. Dunn, is bound with the prelims. In the collation in the ESTC collation (from the Folger copy) it is bound after B5 and designated p1; in the EEBO images (from the Glasgow university Library copy) it is bound after A4. The Folger collation records signature G as an 8leaf gathering, even though G3 is removed to the prelims, counting the letterpress layout of the surgeon’s chest as part of the gathering. Since it is printed on a full sheet (and therefore cannot be conjugate with any other leaf in the gathering) and has the legend ‘Place this Chest, betwixt Fol. 26 and 27’ it seems best to treat is as an insert as I have done. Printing was divided between three shops: Young printed the Wrst set of signatures, apparently Legat printed the second, and Purslowe the third (STC). The large gaps in pagination are no doubt caused by over cautious castingoV. 195 ZEIDLER, Sebastian Christian von Somatotomia andropologica [sic], seu Corporis Humani Fabrica methodice divisa, & controversarum quaestionum discussionibus illustrata. Prague: typis Joannis Caroli Gerzabek, 1686. Folio: )+( 2 , )*( 2 , A–2G2 , 64 leaves, pp. [8] 118 [2]. Woodcut initials and headpieces. 29 engraved plates: engraved titlepage dated 1685 and Tab 1–28, the Wrst in duplicate in this copy. 295 x 185mm. Text and plates browned but fresh, tear in blank margin of Tab. 12, Tabs 27 and 28 waterstained. Binding: Contemporary vellum boards, page edges stained green. Provenance: Contemporary inscription ‘Libris Joannis Thomae Bosch Medicinae Doctoris’ on endleaf. First edition, state of title with misspelling ‘andropologica’ on title (corrected to ‘anthropologica in some copies). The work was reissued in 1692. Krivatsy 13244; Heirs of Hippocrates 628. A rare anatomy which presumably reXects Zeidler’s teaching at Prague. Zeidler was responsible for building an anatomy theatre at the Charity Hospital there, shown in the interior and exterior views on the engraved titlepage. The dissecting scene is curiously old fashioned, showing Zeidler using a long pointer while a dissector wields the knife. This is odd, given that the book was published almost 150 years after Vesalius had shown himself as both professor and dissector on the titlepage of the Fabrica (1543). It seems improbable that Zeidler was still teaching ex cathedra, so perhaps the artist was simply following an older convention. Apart from Brockbank and Wilson’s article, an oVprint of which is laid in, the book seems to be unknown to medical historians. W. Brockbank and G. Wilson, ‘The Anatomy of Zeidlern (1686)’, Medical History 1 (1957) 353–4 and plate.
