Description
ANATOMICAL ATLASES -- CANT, A. Impetus primi anatomici et illustratis cadaveribus nati, quos propriâ consignavit manu. Leiden, P. v.d. Aa, 1721. (6), 28 pp. W. 6 full-p. engr. plates which are bound in such a way that they can be consulted next to the text. Lge-fol. Cont. vellum. (Horizontal split in spine right above written title, some minor foxing/age-toning, outer right blank margin of first plate a bit soiled, but a very good & clean copy). NOTE: Arent Cant (1695-1723), a pupil of Frederik Ruysch, was a skilled anatomist and artist whose ambitious plan to publish a great anatomical work was prevented by his premature death at the age of 28. This is the only volume of Cant's projected anatomy, which he dedicated to H. Boerhaave. The six large folding plates, drawn by the author, illustrate the anatomy of the head, heart, stomach, shoulder and knee joints, thoracic duct, etc. Cant was one of the few early anatomists to make use of the "grid-reference" identification system devised by Eustachi, in which anatomical structures are located by means of numbered borders at the side and top of each plate; this method allows the anatomist to illustrate his figures without superimposed lettering or numbering. From the libraries of Joh(annes) Bon (1720-1802/03), graduated MD at Harderwijk in 1742, J. v.d. Hoeve and J. v.d. Hoeven, of the latter w. his bookplate. - Choulant-Frank p. 278; Lindeboom, Dutch Medical Biography, 325; Roberts & Tomlinson, p. 191.

CONDITIONS OF SALE
- All EC-clients purchasing goods have to pay a buyer's premium of 26,62% (incl. all taxes) of the amount for which the item(s) has been knocked down. Non-EC-residents & EC-residents with a VAT-ID-number pay 22% in addition to the amount for which the item(s) has been knocked down. (Notification of VAT-ID-numbers must be given to the auctioneer prior to the sale). Successful live online bids will be charged with an extra surcharge of 5% (Invaluable and Lot-tissimo/The Saleroom) and 3% (Drouot) on the hammer price. The auctioneer is not responsible for any failures or problems occurring during the auction on the live auction platforms.
- Written bids received by the auction house itself take precedence over bids that reach us via the live platforms. In the case of identical, fixed bids, the buyer is determined by drawing lots. Bids without limit will not be accepted. Written bids, as well as bids by telephone or e-mail, must have been received by the auctioneer at least one hour before the start of each session.
- An estimate in Euro is given for every lot. Bidding starts at ±80% of the given estimate, unless a reserve was made, or two or more written bids are higher. Bid increments: €10 (0-200), € 20 (200-500), € 50 (500-1000), € 100 (1000-2000), etc. Deviant written bids (e.g. 51, 78, 115, 330, 470) will be changed (50, 70, 110, 320, 460).
- Each buyer is held to buy for his own account and can not claim any commission.
- The auctioneer has the right to withdraw lots from the sale, to unite or to divide lots.
- All goods are assumed to be complete and in good condition, unless otherwise stated. Minor defects, such as small stamps, tickets, labels, smaller inscriptions are in general not mentioned. All books are in 8°, unless another format is given.
- Any item which does not meet the description in this catalogue, may be returned within two weeks after receipt. This guarantee does not cover lots of more than three books or prints, or lots indicated as "Sold w.a.f. (with all faults), not subject to return". If purchasers are prevented from attending the sale personally, the auctioneer will gladly undertake to execute their bids without any charge. Limitless bids are not accepted. Shipping and handling are at the risk and expense of the buyer. Prints will be shipped without glass.
- The Resale Right Act may apply to lots containing original works of art by living artists or by artists up to 70 years after their death with a yield of € 3,000 including premium and VAT. Up to € 50,000, this percentage is currently 4% of the hammer price plus premium.
- Payment is due within two weeks after receipt of the invoice (payment instructions on the invoice). Ownership only passes to the buyer when full payment has been received. Any costs caused by the buyer not complying with these conditions (e.g. collecting fees) will be chargeable to him.
- Netherlands law shall govern the legal relations between the participants in the auction and Burgersdijk & Niermans. The Dutch text of these sale conditions is valid.
