Title A name given to the resource Books Subject The topic of the resource Book collections Description An account of the resource The College Library was founded in 1698 when Faculty members donated books for our first home at the Trongate in Glasgow. We have been collecting books both old and new ever since, and our collection of rare books stretches back to the 15th century. We hold many fine examples of important historical texts, with particularly strong representation in medicine, surgery, botany and materia medica from the 18th and 19th centuries. We also hold a collection of several thousand medical pamphlets from the 18th to the early 20th centuries. Most of the book collection can be found on our online catalogue and we regularly add new records to make our collections more discoverable.

Title A name given to the resource De Humani Corporis Fabrica Libri Septem Description An account of the resource Andreae Vesalii Bruxellensis, scholae medicorum Patauinae professoris De humani corporis fabrica libri septem Andreas Vesalius was born in 1514 in Brussels, Belgium. He studied medicine at the University of Louvain and then in Paris. He moved to Padua, home at the time to one of the most important medical schools in Europe. He completed his doctorate and was appointed as anatomical demonstrator and lectured on anatomy. Vesalius emphasised the importance of dissection in the study of anatomy. The 'De Humani Corporis Fabrica' (On the Fabric of the Human Body), published in Basel in 1543, was a beautifully illustrated and influential anatomical textbook. One of the most striking features of the illustrations are the 'muscle men' figures in striking poses surrounded by landscape. After publication of the book, Vesalius was appointed Imperial Physician to Emperor Charles V. He died in 1564. [12], 659 [i e 663], [37] pages Formerly owned by the Lutheran theologian Paul Eber (1511-69). Blind-stamped initials "P E" on front cover, and various annotations in Eber's hand throughout. Originally bound in pigskin by the 16th century Wittenberg bookbinder Conrad Neidel, with blind-stamped decorations (including a roll of portraits of Erasmus, Melanchthon, Martin Luther, and Hans Holbein the Younger). The front, back and spine were removed in the mid-20th century and pasted to a new binding Niger goatskin. Inscription excised from original endpapers and pasted to front pastedown: "Fama est Vesalium esse mortuum". This is a quote from a 1565 letter from Hubert Languet to Caspar Peucer, informing the latter of the death of Vesalius. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ghb_6KfqRCI" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe> Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Vesalius, Andreas, 1514-1564 Neidel, Conrad, -1568 Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1543 Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context Bookstore VES [folio] Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Oporinus, Joannes, 1507-1568 Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant Basel, Switzerland Relation A related resource Andrew McAinsh, ‘Bibliographical Note: Identification of Paul Eber as an Owner and Reader of Vesalius’s De Humani Corporis Fabrica’ The Library: Transactions of the Bibliographical Society. 2016, 17 (4): 446-450. <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/library/17.4.446">http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/library/17.4.446</a> Cushing, H.
