    Mediolani: Ex Tipografia Joannis Pirottae, 1817. First edition of this large and important work on the structure of the urethra. Four large engraved plates by Filippo Bedetti, engraved by Carlo Della Rocca, to the rear of the book. Green softback covers with some marking to the cover. The paper on the spine has has considerable loss, but the binding is still holding well. Internally mainly clean, with a little marking, foxing and few small worm holes. Plates have light staining to the edges, but still mainly clean and tidy. A scarce item. xii, 60 pp. 460 x 330 mm (18 x 13 inches). In the beginning of the 19th century, when both vascular and cellular texture theories concerning the penis structure were still coexisting, three figures were involved in the controversy about the priority of the discovery of the vascular nature of human erectile tissues: Paolo Mascagni (1755-1815), represented by his pupil Tommaso Farnese (1780-1829), and Alessandro Moreschi (1771-1826). In the Elogio del celebre anatomico Paolo Mascagni (1816), Farnese attributed to his mentor the demonstration in 1809 of the continuity between arteries and veins and the description of venous plexuses, this term replacing the previous (and misleading) name of spongy body attributed to the inner part of penis. But in 1817 Moreschi inflamed the dispute, claiming for the priority of that discovery, with the publication of his anatomical work and a polemical essay against Farnese. Farnese promptly replied with Note addizionali del Dottore Tommaso Farnese al suo elogio di Paolo Mascagni (1818), where he reported a meeting with Moreschi in Bologna in 1810. On that occasion, Farnese explained a Mascagni's technique to perfuse urethral blood vessels that Moreschi would have plagiarized. Furthermore, Farnese also included eight testimonies claiming to have seen Mascagni performing such injections before 1810. The Prodromo della grande anatomia, a posthumous work of Mascagni edited in 1819, includes a plate dedicated to the structure of the urethra and a comprehensive view of this scientific story. In short, Mascagni developed a technique to inject urethral blood vessels, but Moreschi was the first to publish an accurate work on this subject. For this reason, many Italian and international authors have attributed to the latter the discovery of the venous circulation of the urethra. Edition originale de ce grand et important ouvrage sur la structure de l'urètre. Quatre grandes planches gravées par Filippo Bedetti, gravées par Carlo Dellarocca, au dos du livre. Couvertures vertes avec quelques marques sur la couverture. Le papier sur le dos a une perte considérable, mais la reliure tient toujours bien. Intérieur principalement propre, avec un peu de marquage, des rousseurs et quelques petits trous de vers. Les assiettes ont de légères taches sur les bords, mais restent généralement propres et bien rangées. Un objet rare. xii, 60 pages.
    Au début du XIXe siècle, lorsque les théories de la texture vasculaire et cellulaire concernant
    la structure du pénis coexistaient encore, trois personnalités étaient impliquées dans la polémique sur la priorité de la découverte de la nature vasculaire des tissus érectiles humains : Paolo Mascagni (1755-1815), représenté par son élève Tommaso Farnese (1780-1829) et Alessandro Moreschi (1771-1826). Dans l'Elogio del celebre anatomico Paolo Mascagni (1816), Farnèse attribue à son mentor la démonstration en 1809 de la continuité entre les artères et les veines et la description des plexus veineux, ce terme remplaçant le nom précédent (et trompeur) de corps spongieux attribué à la partie interne du pénis. Mais en 1817, Moreschi enflamma la dispute, revendiquant la priorité de cette découverte, avec la publication de son ouvrage anatomique et d'un essai polémique contre Farnèse. Farnese a rapidement répondu avec Note addizionali del Dottore Tommaso Farnese al suo elogio di Paolo Mascagni (1818), où il a rapporté une rencontre avec Moreschi à Bologne en 1810. À cette occasion, Farnese a expliqué la technique de Mascagni pour perfuser les vaisseaux sanguins de l'urètre que Moreschi aurait plagié. En outre, Farnèse a également inclus huit témoignages affirmant avoir vu Mascagni effectuer de telles injections avant 1810. Le Prodromo della grande anatomia, un ouvrage posthume de Mascagni édité en 1819, comprend une planche consacrée à la structure de l'urètre et une vue complète de ce scientifique récit. Bref, Mascagni a mis au point une technique pour injecter des vaisseaux sanguins urétraux, mais Moreschi a été le premier à publier un ouvrage précis sur ce sujet. Pour cette raison, de nombreux auteurs italiens et internationaux ont attribué à ce dernier la découverte de la circulation veineuse de l'urètre.

Internally, each volume is in very good condition, with sound binding. Light to moderate foxing to the pages (including the plates). This set belonged to Georges Cuvier, the celebrated French naturalist, and his stamp appears to the title page of each volume. Cuvier is sometimes referred to as the "founding father of Palaeontology" An opponent of early theories of Evolution (long before Darwin's) he believed that the earth went through cyclical creation and periods of extinction. He identified and named Mastodons and other dinosaurs, and postulated that the Earth went through a period where it was dominated by reptiles. Baron Cuvier was was the director of the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle in Paris intermittently between the years of 1808 and 1831. Each volume also has the discrete stamp of this museum, further reinforcing the provenance. No further library stamps through volumes.

    Paris: Cuchet, 1783. First edition. Fairly recent French full leather binding, with gilt titles and decoration to the spine. Barthélémy Faujas de Saint-Fond (a French geologist and traveller) produced this work in 1783 as the Montgolfier brothers were conducting their experiments. This is the revised edition of the book - with a supplement and further information about the brother's experiments in June-September 1783. There is a brief supplement to the rear adding information about the flight of November 21, in which Pilâtre de Rozier, accompanied by the Marquis d'Arlandes, made the first aerial voyage in history. This last flight is often recorded in engravings as the first flight over Paris. There was a second continuation volume issued in 1784. This copy has nine engravings (number 5 is the frontis illustration). The leather binding is in good clean and tidy condition, with just a touch of bumping to the corners. Internally the book is in very nice condition, with just the odd foxing spot, although these are more prevalent to the beginning, and the title page is significantly spotted. Frontis, xl, 1-299, [vii] - 8 plates. Reliure plein cuir de France assez récente, avec titres et décor dorés au dos. Barthélémy Faujas de Saint-Fond (géologue et voyageur français) a réalisé ce travail en 1783 alors que les frères Montgolfier menaient leurs expériences. Il s'agit de l'édition révisée du livre - avec un supplément et de plus amples informations sur les expériences du frère en juin-septembre 1783. Il y a un bref supplément à l'arrière ajoutant des informations sur le vol du 21 novembre, dans lequel Pilâtre de Rozier, accompagné de le marquis d'Arlandes, a effectué le premier voyage aérien de l'histoire - ce dernier vol est souvent enregistré dans les gravures comme le premier survol de Paris. Il y avait un deuxième volume de continuation publié en 1784. 9 gravures (le numéro 5 est l'illustration du frontis). La reliure en cuir est en bon état propre et bien rangé, avec juste une touche de cognement aux coins. À l'intérieur, le livre est en très bon état, avec juste quelques rousseurs, bien que celles-ci soient plus fréquentes au début, et la page de titre est considérablement tachetée. Frontis, xl, 1-299, [vii] - 8 plates.
