(6), 128 SS. Mit 2 gest. Tafeln. Halblederband der Zeit mit goldgepr. Rückenschildchen. Buntpapiervorsätze. 8vo. Zweite Ausgabe des Gründungsdokuments der Anthropologie. J. F. Blumenbach (1752-1840) "is [today] chiefly remembered for his work 'On the Native Varieties of the Human Race', now considered as the foundation of the science of physical anthropology - the study of the origin and evolution of the races of men [...]. Blumenbach was able to develop the thesis that all living races are varieties of a single species, homo sapiens, and that their differences were small compared with those between man and the nearest animal; 'innumerable varieties of mankind run into each other by insensible degrees'. It is not surprising therefore that Blumenbach was opposed to the practice of slavery and the then current belief in the inherent savagery of the coloured races" (PMM). "Blumenbach was the founder of anthropology. In this, his dissertation, he classified mankind into four races, based on selected combinations of head shape, skin colour and hair form. In the second edition (1781) he found it necessary to expand this division into five races, but his famous terms 'Caucasian, Mongolian, Ethiopian, American, and Malayan' were not used until the third edition of 1795" (Garrison/M.). - Einband berieben; Ecken bestoßen; Rücken mit Fehlstellen.

8vo. 42 pp., final blank. With a lithographic plate. Contemporary wrappers. Very rare study of the defects of the umbilical cord, with a plate (showing embryos) lithographed after the author's own drawings. With this habilitation, Froriep (1804-61) gained a Professorship of Medicine in Berlin, but he had to forsake this career in 1845 when his father, himself once a great surgeon and obstetrician, fell ill and Robert had to take over the publishing house "Landes-Industrie-Comptoir" which Ludwig Friedrich v. Froriep - the son-in-law of and successor to the famous publisher Bertuch - had headed. A correspondent with Goethe, Robert Froriep also taught anatomic drawing at the Academy of Fine Arts. "Obgleich er in den von ihm besonders cultivirten Wissenschaften, der beschreibenden und pathologischen Anatomie, keine hervorragenden Entdeckungen gemacht hat, hat er durch seine zahlreichen Unternehmungen [...] die Wissenschaft wesentlich gefördert und namentlich zur Popularisierung von kostspieligen ausländischen Abbildungswerken, die ohne ihn daselbst nur wenig bekannt geworden wären, wesentlich beigetragen" (Hirsch II, 455). - Slight waterstaining near end (mainly affecting the plate's lower margin).

Fasch (1639-90), der in Jena außer der Botanik noch Chirurgie und Anatomie lehrte. "Diese vielseitige Funktion [...] mag verhindert haben, dass eine größere zusammenhängende Schrift von ihm verfasst wurde. Gegen 50 Dissertationen über alle möglichen klinischen Fragen tragen seinen Namen" (Hirsch II, 340). Am letzten Bl. verso Widmungsgedicht vom Niederlausitzer Mediziner Georg Wolfgang Wedel (1645-1721). "Seit 1667 Stadtphysikus in Gotha, wurde er 1672 zum Dr. med. promoviert und übernahm 1673 in Jena den Lehrstuhl für Medizin.

Sein rund 375 Titel umfassendes Schriftenverzeichnis enthält ausschließlich Dissertationen, Programme und Gelegenheitsreden" (DBE). - Mit zahlreichen griechischen Einsprengseln.

Folio (225 x 370 mm). (4), 50, (2), 500 pp. With engraved title-page, additional title-page printed in red and black, and 48 engraved maps, plans and plates, all but 1 double-page (numb. I-XLV, pl. XXVIII and XXIX with A- & B-number, pl. 24 followed by 24*; 9 folding, some numbers in ms.). Contemporary half calf over marbled boards with handwritten spine-title. First Dutch edition. The standard work on Japan which "was for more than a century the chief source of Western knowledge of the country" (DSB). The first historically and scientifically accurate description of Japan, this major work comprises the first biography of Kaempfer and an account of his journey, a history and description of Japan and its fauna, a description of Nagasaki and Deshima, a report on two embassies to Edo (now Tokyo) including descriptions of the cities visited on the way, and 6 appendices on tea, Japanese paper, acupuncture, moxa, ambergris, and Japan's seclusion policy. The illustrations depict ports and scenery, costumes, characters, temples, ceremonies, Japanese fauna and flora, ships and coins, as well as mythological figures like the Buddhist goddess Quanwon. Furthermore, the work comprises a large folding map of the Empire of Japan, folding city plans of Nagasaki and Edo, and seven regional maps showing Kaempfer's itinerary. - Engelbert Kaempfer (1651-1716) was a professor from Lemgo, Germany, who joined the Dutch East India Company as a physician in 1685. After periods in India and Indonesia he travelled in 1690 to Japan to work as a doctor in Dejima (Deshima), the Dutch trading post and factory in Nagasaki and one of the few places where Western and Japanese people were allowed to interact. During his three-year term of duty, Kaempfer was twice allowed to journey to Edo (Tokyo) in the company of the head of the factory. After his return to Europe he wrote a number of works but did not publish them, leaving them in manuscript at his death. Sir Hans Sloane acquired these manuscripts, along with his drawings and herbarium, and arranged for their translation and publication. The first to appear was "The History of Japan" in 1727, here offered in Dutch translation. This work established Kaempfer's reputation as the 18th century authority on Japan and deeply influenced Japan's image in Europe. - Extremities slightly rubbed. Occasional minor browning; small tear to map of the Japanese Empire rebacked with paper. Small armorial blindstamp to flyleaf and title-page. Old shelfmark label and later small-scale reproduction of the map of the Japanese Empire mounted to pastedown. Tiele 584. Landwehr (VOC) 531. Cordier (Japonica) 417f. DSB VII, 204ff. Howgego 562.
