UCLA Catalog Record ID UCLA Catalog Record ID: 5006581 Acquisition Information The bulk of the collection was transferred from Professor O'Malley's office to the Biomedical Library in 1970 after his sudden death. Dr. Frances Keddie, his wife, added more materials over the course of the next few years. Another gift to the Library, of various certificates awarded to O'Malley and of the Spielmann manuscript carbons and correspondence, was made by Andrew and Nina Dabrowa in 1988. Processing Information Processed by: Pat L. Walter, April, 2004 Biography Charles Donald O'Malley was often referred to as the leading authority on Renaissance anatomy, especially on the life and work of Andreas Vesalius. But beyond his interest in Vesalius, which dated to before his career officially began, the breadth of subjects in his numerous publications marked him as one of the leading medical historians of his time. He was internationally rewarded with a long list of honorary appointments, awards, prizes, invitational lectureships and offices, and was sincerely mourned in the many obituaries and tributes included in these papers. (Obituary and complete bibliography in: "Medicine in Seventeenth Century England," ed. by Allen G. Debus, Univ. of California Press, 1974. Also see: "Bull. Hist. Med.", 44(5): 477-481, 1970; "Times (London)", April 28, 1970 and many others.) C.D. O'Malley was born in Alameda, California (1907). He gained his B. A. at Stanford University in slightly over three years and his M. A. in only three additional quarters. His Ph. D. studies at Stanford were interrupted for a number of years, but the degree was granted in 1945; by 1951 he was a full professor in the Stanford University Department of History. Although his dissertation had nothing to do with medical history, the field drew him through various influences: first, his wife, Frances Keddie, was a research-oriented physician working with John B. de C. M. Saunders, a professor of both anatomy and medical history, who became O'Malley's mentor and early co-author; second, in the interval between his split doctoral studies O'Malley had browsed through the rich materials in San Francisco's Sutro Library and had been especially drawn to various medical topics; and lastly, the character of the early anatomist Vesalius attracted and fascinated him. O'Malley was an excellent Latinist and a graceful and fluent writer in English, and his translations and other publications were well received by scholars. After a year as visiting professor at the University of California, Los Angeles he began his permanent tenure at UCLA in 1960 as Professor of Medical History. He headed the Division, and later the Department, of Medical History until his sudden death in 1970. During those ten years he published a definitive and widely heralded biography of Vesalius, traveled and lectured widely, received many prestigious prizes, held office in the major professional societies in his field, and mentored a remarkable number of graduate and postdoctoral students in medical history. He corresponded widely with many of the major medical historians in Europe and the United States. Scope and Content The major portion of the collection consists of research materials: several hundred reprints starting at mid-19th century and continuing through the 1960s; reproductions of source texts; translations and transcriptions of source texts; extensive materials used in the preparation of O'Malley's books on Vesalius, Leonardo da Vinci, the brain & spinal cord; and many portraits of historical figures, plus various other illustrations, notes, bibliographies, catalogs, etc. O'Malley's professional and academic activities are represented by drafts of some of his lectures and articles and most of his article reprints. Particularly interesting is his extensive correspondence with the major medical historians of the fifties and sixties: figures of a stature such as John F. Fulton, Noël Poynter, Charles Singer and many others. Additional correspondence and documentation illuminates the activities of professional societies such as the History of Science Society and the International Academy of the History of Medicine, especially during the mid- and later sixties. The strictly personal portion of the collection is small in size. It contains memorials and tributes and moving letters of condolence to his wife. Many of his professional colleagues were personal friends of the O'Malleys, and friends who were not medical historians are also represented in the correspondence, such as William Ready and Reinhard Timken-Zinkann. Related Collections: The History & Special Collections Division of the UCLA Biomedical Library also holds 194 35 mm slides from Dr. O'Malley's files, on a wide variety of medical & scientific personages and topics. This uncataloged collection is available for viewing in the library.

Plague Mortality in the Seventeenth-Century Low Countries Much current scholarship argues that in early mod- ern northwestern Europe, plagues not only were less severe than the seventeenth-century plagues that ravaged Italy; they were also far less territorially pervasive—remaining mainly in the cities and not spreading easily into the countryside. Such a view connects to a long historiography about early modern plague in northwestern Europe that largely establishes the disease as an urban phenomenon, a nar- rative that is still dominant. This view adds further weight to the “urban graveyards” notion that depicts early modern cities as death traps. From this perspective, extreme rural cases of plague, such as the famous examples of Colyton (Devon) in 1645/6 or Eyam (Derbyshire) in 1665/6 in England, look exceptional, unrepresentative of general epidemiolog- ical trends.

    Erika Delbecque Section name Special Collections Services Estienne’s La dissection des parties du corps humain Special Collections featured item for August 2014 by Erika Delbecque, former Liaison Librarian for Pharmacy and Mathematics. Charles Estienne, La dissection des parties du corps humain divisee en trois livres. Paris: chez Simon de Colines, 1546. Item from the Cole Library COLE--X092F/02, University of Reading Special Collections Services. Charles Estienne’s La dissection des parties du corps humain [see title-page shown left] is one of the great illustrated anatomical works of the sixteenth century. It offers a fine example of the accomplishments and innovations of the Parisian printing houses of this period, and its full-page woodcuts have fascinated readers to this day. Charles Estienne (c. 1504-1564) was a French physician who conceived of this work when he was still a medical student in Padua. It was at this time that he also met Étienne de la Rivière, the surgeon who would carry out the dissections that provided the basis for the book’s illustrations, and who is likely to have contributed to their design. As the stepson of Simon de Colines, Charles Estienne was able to have his work ©University of Reading 2014 Page 1 published by one of the greatest printing houses in France. De Colines’ influential innovations in the design and type of French printing can also be seen in La Dissection, such as the clean layout of the page and the use of italic font, in which de Colines, a former type- cutter, followed Italian models.

Oosterhoff, University of Edinburgh, [email protected] Argument: Students entered Renaissance universities as apprentices in the craft of books. In the decades around 1500, such university training began to involve not only manuscript circulation, but also the production and the use of books in the new medium of print. Through their role in the crafting of books, I show how a circle of students around Jacques Lefèvre d’Étaples gained the experience needed to become bookmen.

    Was Plague an Exclusively Urban Phenomenon?

    Journal of Interdisciplinary History, XLVII:2 (Autumn, 2016), 139–170. Daniel R. Curtis Was Plague an Exclusively Urban Phenomenon? Plague Mortality in the Seventeenth-Century Low Countries Much current scholarship argues that in early mod- ern northwestern Europe, plagues not only were less severe than the seventeenth-century plagues that ravaged Italy; they were also far less territorially pervasive—remaining mainly in the cities and not spreading easily into the countryside. Such a view connects to a long historiography about early modern plague in northwestern Europe that largely establishes the disease as an urban phenomenon, a nar- rative that is still dominant. This view adds further weight to the “urban graveyards” notion that depicts early modern cities as death traps. From this perspective, extreme rural cases of plague, such as the famous examples of Colyton (Devon) in 1645/6 or Eyam (Derbyshire) in 1665/6 in England, look exceptional, unrepresentative of general epidemiolog- ical trends. Scholars are more likely to attribute high early modern rural mortality rates to more environmentally specific diseases, such as malaria or intestinal infections from the marshlands, as causes than plague. Only recently has a counter-argument appeared, hinting at plague’s capacity to hit isolated areas of the countryside in north- western Europe—for example, the rural Highlands of Scotland— yet systematic research on the subject is still lacking.1 Daniel R.

  • De Epigrammen Van Hadrianus Junius Chris L

    De Epigrammen Van Hadrianus Junius Chris L

    Nieuwsbrief nr. 16 17 De epigrammen van Hadrianus Junius Chris L. Heesakkers 1. Als wij in de gretigheid waarmee een bundel Neolatijnse poëzie uit de 16e eeuw in een volkstaal wordt vertaald, een bewijs mogen zien van kwaliteit, dan moet Hadrianus Junius, die leefde van 1511 tot 1575, beschouwd worden als een van de meest succesvolle Neolatijnse dichters uit de Nederlanden. De enige bundel poëzie die hijzelf publiceerde, in 1565, viel binnen twee jaar zowel een Nederlandse als een Franse vertaling ten deel. Van de eerste verscheen 8 jaar later, in het sterfjaar van de auteur, 1575 dus, een tweede druk en de Franse was toen al aan haar vierde druk toe. De Latijnse tekst werd nog vóór het einde van de eeuw 7 (of 8) keer gedrukt. In de drie volgende eeuwen bewaarde de bundel een hardnekkig stilzwijgen, maar aan het begin van de 20e eeuw verschenen nieuwe edities van de beide vertalingen en in de tweede helft van die eeuw werd de eerste druk van de Latijnse versie tot tweemaal toe in facsimile op de markt gebracht, in 1972 en in 1987. Het zal u duidelijk zijn dat ik met deze omtrekkende beweging doel op de 58 epigrammen van Junius, die op 15 mei 1565 bij Plantijn in Antwerpen van de pers rolden als het derde bestanddeel van zijn fraai vormgegeven bundel Emblemata.1 De Nederlandse vertaling die in 1567 volgde, was van Marcus Antonius Gilles van Diest, de M.A.G. van de titel-pagina. Junius zelf had bij Plantijn geopperd dat Coornhert een geschikte vertaler zou zijn, maar de drukker viel kennelijk liever terug op de diensten van Gilles, waarvan hij al eerder gebruik had gemaakt.2 Lipsiuskenners zullen zich overigens herinneren, dat Coornhert door de Plantijnse drukkerij wel vaker als vertaler zou worden gepasseerd.
