ROESSLIN, Eucharius (d. 1526). De partu hominis, et quae circa ipsum accidunt . Frankfurt: Christian Egenolph, 1544. 8 o (142 x 94 mm). Collation: A-E 8 I 4. 44 leaves. Italic type. 21 half-page and three-quarter-page woodcuts, including the title cut,of which 20 of foetuses in the womb and one of a birthing stool, two 5-line floriated initials. (Single wormhole through text block.) Fifth or sixth edition in Latin of Roesslin's extremely popular treatise on midwifery, Der swangern Frawen und hebammen Rosegarten , first printed at Strassburg in 1513. This was the first work on obstetrics intended specifically for midwives -- hence its original publication in the vernacular, and its diffusion throughout Europe, in Latin, French and English translations (the vernacular translations were based on the present Latin translation, by Roesslin's son Eucharius II). It "had an enormous impact on contemporary obstetrical practice and remained influential for over two hundred years, going through over one hundred editions before the close of the eighteenth century. The work contained little original material, being primarily a survey of Greek and Roman obstetrical literature, but it was the first to deal with obstetrics as a separate subject, and the first to print illustrations of the birth chair and the fetus in utero " (Norman).
