Sobre este artículo
Edinburgi: Excudebant Jacobus Pillans & Fillii, 1804.
12mo. 175 x 100 mm., [7 x 4 inches]. 186 pp. Bound in 19th century ¾ black morocco, leather spine and corners, marbled paper boards; joint cracked but expertly repaired with tissue; text block brown with age but in good condition. A few pencil marks appear in the margins. Nineteenth- century ownership stamp of George R. Brush, M.D./US Navy of Sayville, N. Y. on title-page. With faults a good, sound copy.
This catalogue of approximately 2,500 titles, is organized alphabetically and is exclusively devoted to medicine and the related sciences. The collection is strong in 16th and 17th century titles and as one might expect a very good collection of 18th century books, especially titles printed at the end of the century. There are also a good number of dissertations and pamphlets included, which add to the comprehensive nature of this catalogue's holdings.
The first publication of the University of Edinburgh medical library appeared in 1773 and included over 4,000 titles. It was updated in 1798 with a new edition which doubled the listing of holdings to over 8,000 titles. In 1805 a 55-page addendum was published that included 750 title. The entire library was sold in at Sotheby's in 1969 and much of it was purchased by the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
This 1804 catalogue appears to an independent publication, complete in itself. It does not appear that this title is listed in the British Library Catalogue, OCLC or NUC. Not listed in the Grolier Club Library Catalogue It is also not in the University of Wisconsin on-line catalogue, but an 1812 edition with a similar title is listed.
Besterman II, p. 2521 for early editions of the catalogue.

Sobre De Simone Company, Booksellers
De Simone Company Booksellers specializes in early Italian books and manuscripts, mostly in the fields of social science, history, antiquarian bibliography and illustrated books. The owner, Daniel De Simone, has a particular interest in books, manuscripts, and ephemera printed in, or about, the history of Ferrara, Italy. The business also deals in 19th-century Americana and fine books in all fields and languages.
De Simone Company Booksellers enjoyed its second opening as a book company in 2018 after a seventeen-year hiatus. Originally established in 1978, De Simone Company bought, sold, and evaluated rare books, manuscripts, and prints for twenty-two years before closing, when De Simone accepted the position as Curator of the Lessing J. Rosenwald Collection at the Library of Congress.
De Simone held this position for fourteen years before moving to the Folger Shakespeare Library as the Eric Weinmann Librarian. In this position, he managed seven departments, including acquisitions, exhibitions, conservation, research services, and the Library's book, manuscript, and art collections. He held this position for three years before retiring in 2017 and reopening De Simone Company Booksellers.
Because of his experience in both the book trade and rare book librarianship, De Simone consults with institutions about the development and evaluation of their library collections. He is the author and editor of a number of books and articles on the history of book illustration and early bibliography.
He is a member of the ABAA (Antiquarian Booksellers' Association of America), the ILAB (International League of Antiquarian Booksellers), the Print Council of America, the Grolier Club, the Association Internationale de Bibliophilie, the American Printing History Association, the Bibliographical Society of America. He is also the Treasurer of the Antiquarian Book Seminar Foundation, a 501c3, which support the Colorado Antiquarian Books Seminar (CABS). Recently he has been appointed Secretary of Breslauer Prize for Bibliography by the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers.
