Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. First and only edition of this beautiful and important bibliographical record, complete in two volumes. "The first bibliographical catalogue to offer complete annotated descriptions, with full collations, paginations, and plate counts for the first editions of the great classics of science and medicine from the fifteenth to the twentieth centuries. More than six years in the writing, this catalogue provides the most authoritative descriptions of the 2,595 works collected by Haskell F. Norman over four decades. Special attention has been paid to bibliographical variants and states, to association and presentation copies, and to bindings. There are comprehensive indexes to authors, subjects, artists, binders and provenance." San Francisco, CA: Jeremy Norman & Co., 1991. Publisher's original red and black cloth, lettered in gilt; pp. lxxvii, 1005, with 34 color plates & 396 black-&-white text illustrations. A very good or better copy. Bindings are sturdy, boards show light shelfwear. Text block edges and prelims lightly foxed, else internally clean.

Regular edition, limited to 465 copies. 2 vols, two-tone cloth, 4to, 29 cm, 100 pp. 24 colour plates & 396 black & white text illustrations. A luxurious fully annotated catalogue, with collations, paginations and plate counts, describing some 2,285 significant first editions in the history of science and medicine, together with some 172 items on Freud and some 153 on Franz Anton Mesmer and Mesmerism. Especially strong in association and presentation copies. In a contemporary review, Owen Gingerich wrote: "The significance of each work is succinctly described. Collations include the arrangement of signatures for the earlier books, and provenances generally report the name of the bookseller. Norman's collection includes not only the great works of the Scientific Revolution- Galileo, Kepler, Newton - and more recent names -Babbage, Darwin, Einstein- but also medical works. Vesalius's De humani corporis fabrica (1543) is the colored presentation copy to Charles V; William Harvey's De motu cordis (1628) had been owned by Constantyn Huygens. Because this outstanding collection is so wide ranging, this beautiful (but, alas, understandably expensive) work should become a standard reference for classics in the history of science." Very minor spotting to top edges, otherwise a Near Fine set.
