His autogr. ownership on the title page is dated "Halle 1821", marking this as an early acquisition of scholarly literature by the former tailors apprentice, batman, ships scullion, waiter, and footboy after having graduated from the Hamburg Johanneum in 1821. Later in the collection of the Dresden mathematician and librarian Carl Kuschel (1814-99); his autogr. ownership on t. p.; his acquisition note on pastedown: "Hocce Bohlenii exemplar im meam migravit bibliothecam die 10mo Aprilis 1844 (constat 15 gr. arg.)". Subsequently in the collection of the Halle historian and orientalist Gustav Friedrich Hertzberg (1826-1907); his autogr. ownership on t. p. Sold by Harrassowitz to the Zurich printer and publisher Friedrich Paul David Bürkli (1818-96) in 1895, a year before his death (his autogr. ownership to t. p.; his bookplate on pastedown). Bürkli took an avid interest in the history and culture of the orient and amassed a vast library on the subject. His collection, numbering some 1500 titles, passed almost entirely to the Zurich Municipal Library (now in the Zurich Central Library). Show less

First edition of the first great bibliography of surgery, arranged historically, the first volume with texts from the Greek and Arabic classics to 1710 and the second from 1710 to the time of publication. Von Haller (1708-1777), a Swiss physician and anatomist, was a child prodigy who delved into classical languages, mathematics, botany and many other subjects. He studied at Tübingen and Leiden and became professor of medicine, botany and anatomy at Göttingen. His present bibliography of surgery is valuable not only for its record of about 10.000 publications on the subject, but also for his introductory texts to the various sections and his comments on individual publications and authors. It was the last of his 4 great bibliographical works to be completed during his life, following the Bibliotheca botanica and Bibliotheca anatomica, and followed by the posthumous Bibliotheca medicinae practicae. The books in his own library are indicated by an asterisk. - Somewhat foxed, primarily in the first few and last few leaves of each volume, but otherwise in very good condition. Binding good.
