Leopoldo Marco Antonio Caldani
(1725 &endash; 1813) was an Italian
anatomist and physiologist. He was
Catholic, born in Bologna, Italy. He is
noted for his experimental studies on
the function of the spinal cord and for
the introduction of electricity in the
physiology of the nerves. His most
celebrated work is his anatomical atlas
made in collaboration with his nephew.
He died in Padua, Italy, in 1813.He
studied medicine in his native city,
and received a medical degree there in
1750. He was appointed professor of
practical medicine at Bologna in 1755
on condition that he was to study
anatomy under Morgagni's direction for
five years more. Caldani left Bologna
apparently on account of enemies and
went to Padua, where, as one of
Morgagni's best pupils, he was later
made professor of theoretical medicine,
and in 1771, after Morgagni's death,
was made professor of anatomy. He
retained this latter professorship
until he retired in 1805. Caldani was a
zealous champion of Haller's theory of
irritability; he is noted for his
experimental studies on the function of
the spinal cord and for the
introduction of electricity in the
physiology of the nerves. His most
celebrated work is his anatomical
atlas, in which he was aided by his
nephew Floriano.
His works are: "Sull'
intensivit et irritabilit di alune
parti degli animali" (Bologna, 1757);
"Lettera sopra l'irritabilit et
insensivit Halleriana" (Bologne, 1759);

idrofobia" (Venice, 1767);
"Esame del capitolo settimo
dell'ultima opera di Antonio de Haen"
(Padua, 1770);

1772, 1776; Leyden, 1784; Venice, 1786;
Naples, 1787), translated into German
by Reuss (1784), and issued at Prague
(1793), in connection with
"Institutiones physiologicae";
"Dialoghi di fisiologia e di
pathologia" (Padua, 1778, 1793);
"Institutiones physiologicae"
(Padua, 1773, 1778; Leyden, 1784;
Venice, 1786; Naples, 1787);

Mario Antonio and Florian) -
Icons anatomicae
quotquot sunt celabratories ex optimis
neotericum operibus depromtae and
collectae: tabulas segelerunt and
nonnulas ex cadaveribus AD vivum
delineateas addere curaverunt. Leopold
Marcus and Florianus
Caldani.Venetiis.,
e.g. Calcographia Joseph Picotti,
1801-1813,
These are Large folio (72cm), 265
boards of anatomy (the great majority
of the boards are accompanied by a
second (a)plate when the initial
drawing is linear to further illustrate
. . ie medical chart format) Three
volumes are of charts which is where
these sheets presumably came from
initially. they would be delivered
loosely rolled in a wide triangular
card 'tube' as paper of this age does
not appreciate a tight roll for a
poster tube. Prices are alwayd delivery
inclusive worldwide
The first illustrated 'atlas'
concentrated on the female reproductive
system and bones
The second illustrated 'atlas'
concentrated on the muscles;
diaphragm,facial ; the foetus and the
sexual organs
The third illustrated 'atlas'
concentrated on the evolution of the
embryo, the heart and circulatory
system plus the lympahatic system and
nerves
The other volume was the
explanations to the plates etc
ALL are full page as seen in
the images ie all perfect except where
stated and MEGA rare
