Condizione: NUOVO. Firenze, Polistampa cm.15x23, pp.200, num.figg.a col.nt. brossura con cop.fig.a col. In questo lavoro viene presentata un'operazione che, nata per puri motivi funzionali (ricollegare le varie sezioni che progressivamente hanno costituito il Museo diocesano di Prato), ha poi assunto un suo carattere e una sua indubbia dignità, tanto da rendere necessaria una nuova sezione della raccolta museale: una sezione circoscritta ma estremamente ricca di testimonianze che documentano il continuo utilizzo da oltre duemilacinquecento anni dell'area vicina all'attuale cattedrale, l'antichissima pieve di Santo Stefano in Borgo al Cornio. Più che il valore artistico dei singoli reperti, riconosciuto dagli addetti ai lavori, affascina il loro portato storico e sociale. Essi sono infatti le tracce della lunghissima catena di generazioni di pratesi che si sono succeduti e hanno animato l'area più centrale di quell'insediamento definendone l'identità.

Softcover. Condizione: Very Good. Few catalogues of science museums have the power to mesmerize their readers. Encyclopaedia Anatomica does just this, page after page, with its high-quality color reproductions of the collection of Florence's Museo La Specola. This amazing set of anatomical models, made mostly of wax, are so brilliantly lifelike that the casual reader is sure to mistake them for extraordinarily well-preserved bodies. Organized by anatomical section, each of hundreds of models are displayed to show off their most flattering aspect; despite the respectful attitudes held by the book editors and designers, the macabre nature of the exhibits is irrepressible. Particularly eerie are the tableaux of Gaetano Giulio Zumbo, who used similar techniques to create terrifying metaphorical portraits of the harsh life of the 18th century. While the descriptions aren't specific enough to yield much insight into the anatomical detail, this would still make an excellent companion to a text or laboratory manual. The introductory essays cover the history of the museum, the artists, and their techniques thoroughly and engagingly. If the inside of the body is as beautiful to you as the outside, you should find Encyclopaedia Anatomica a charmingly powerful work.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. A book that gets under the skin in every sense, containing hundreds of vivid photographs of intricate anatomical waxworks, created more than two centuries ago to astounding levels of accuracy. The models were intended to advance medical understanding at a time when scientific curiosity and intellectual fervor were sweeping Europe. Housed in Florence's La Specola museum, which opened its doors in 1775 to visitors of all social classes-itself a visionary notion at the time-, the specimens have served as both educational tools and objects of public fascination ever since.Each model is a unique fusion of art and science, meticulously crafted to reveal the hidden wonders of the human body. From detailed musculature to finely rendered organs, they serve as a testament to the skill and dedication of their creators, names like Gaetano Giulio Zumbo and Clemente Susini, who achieved incredible accuracy centuries before body imaging technologies came about. An extended essay on the history of the collection and the museum explains how the models were commissioned and produced-some required as many as 200 corpses for reference-and each chapter has a text explaining the human anatomy in lay terms. Today, La Specola's collection offers a rare glimpse into the ambition and artistry of a past era, when society began pursuing knowledge with zeal and sharing it widely. This compelling book invites all fans of natural history to marvel at these relics of our scientific heritage, treasures that continue to inspire for their beauty, realism, and enduring contribution to human understanding. This literally jaw-dropping book celebrates the famous collection of centuries-old anatomical waxworks from Florence's La Specola museum. From full-body representations of the circulatory and nervous systems to the tiniest features of organs and joints, see the human body mapped out in astounding detail in hundreds of meticulous wax specimens.

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. BOOKPLATE inside cover. Book in ENGLISH, FRANÇAIS, ESPANOL. « They say that learning its arrangement is like learning the road map of an entire country. It has for centuries been the site of the most concentrated human enquiry, and while many of its mysteries have been solved, it continues to fascinate, provoke and disturb. An understanding of the anatomy of the human body remains the foundation of medical science. It has intrigued everyone from the Greeks through to Leonardo da Vincl. And it fascinated the curious of the 18th century. Witness the eccentric Museo La Specola in Florence, a waxworks celebration of the interior. With 27 wax bodies and 1500 part and organ studies, collected by Peter Leopold von Lothringen from places as diverse as churches, hospitals and universities, this is a veritable cathedral to the human form. Whether it be the skeleton or vein structures, organs or nerves, arteries or the complexities of the skin, all are here reproduced in extraordinary detail. With the added benefit of a commentary from the modern perspective, this enormous book merely represents its vast subject. There are reasons why certain historical investigations become definitive in their field. The » passage of time does not see them bettered. The wax anatomies of Museo La Specola remain one such case. Madame Tussaud's this isn't. Take a look behind the scenes. » Ex library book with blank stickers to mask marks.
