BANISTER, John (1540-1610)
The historie of man, sucked from the sappe of the most approued anathomistes, in this present age, compiled in most compendious fourme, and now published in English, for the vtilitie of all godly chirurgians, within this realme, by Iohn Banister, Master in Chirurgerie, and practitioner in phisicke. London: John Daye, 1578.

Black letter, title within decorative woodcut border, woodcut plate (‘A Table of the Instruments Servyng to Anathomiacall Dissection Table’) bound after fol. 103, 4 full-page anatomical illustrations after Vesalius, some early ink marginal annotations and underlining (without final blank, one or two headlines slightly shaved, fore-edge of plate a little frayed and soiled, short tear at head of fol. 101). 20th-century brown half morocco, green cloth boards, modern endpapers, red edges (joints slightly rubbed).

Crew (early signature on title ‘Jo: Crewe’) — Royal Society of Medicine (ink stamp [Royal Medical & Chirurgical Society 29 Jul 1886] to title, dedication leaf, a few text leaves, on illustrations, verso of plate and verso of final leaf).
