Bookplate of James Young Simpson (1811-1870) Scottish doctor and discoverer of the anaesthetic uses of chloroform in medical work. Includes signed note by Simpson dated 1860, a note of introduction for another doctor (Dr. Elisha Kinney?) touring Europe. Text in Latin and Greek. G+M 6013. Israel Spach (1560-1610) studied medicine under Jean Riolan the Elder and later at the University of Tubingen. After receiving his doctorate, he practised medicine before taking a professorship at the Strasbourg Academy. This book is one of Spach's many scholarly works. In this text, he has compiled, as editor, a great collection of gynaecological writings. It is in effect the third edition of the collection previously issued by Wolff (No. 6011) and Bauhin (No. 6012).
