Leopoldo Marco Antonio Caldani
(1725 - 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); "Lettera sull'uso del muschio nella idrofobia" (Venice,
1767);
"Esame del capitolo settimo dell'ultima
opera di Antonio de
Haen" (Padua, 1770);
"Innesto felice del vajuolo" (Padua,
1768);
"Institutiones pathologicae" (Padua,
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);
"Institutiones semeioticae" (Padua,
1808);
"Icones anatomicae" with 5 vols. of
"Explicatio iconum" (Venice,
1801-13).
CALDANI
(Leopoldo 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
always 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
