Book excerpt: The volume provides an archive of some of the most beautiful illustrations ever made of the gravid uterus with fetus and placenta, which will serve future generations of investigators, educators, and students of reproduction. The approximately two hundred figures from over one hundred volumes included are from the late fifteenth through the nineteenth century. For each author whose work is depicted in this volume, we have used the first edition or first illustrated edition. In the commentary, each volume and illustration is placed in its historical perspective, noting both the significance of that image, but also some background on the life and work of the author. For most of the works cited, there are additional references for the reader who may wish to explore these in greater depth. This volume is a unique collection not only of these historical images, but also their place in the development of scientific study.

Download or read book When Midwifery Became the Male Physician s Province written by Eucharius Rösslin and published by McFarland. This book was released on 1994 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rosslin's Der Swangern frawen und he bammen roszgarten (1513) is frequently cited by historians, both positively and (more often) negatively, as a milestone in the professionalization of obstetrics and gynecology. While the subject of whether the book led to an improvement in midwifery is open to debate, there is no argument that it was the beginning of the male medical profession's move into the female domain of midwifery. This newly translated version (a previous, poor English version appeared in 1540) includes a long introduction setting book and author into their historic context.
