	              A DYNAMIC COLLECTION OF MEDICAL BOOKS

	B & L ROOTENBERG RARE BOOKS is pleased to announce the acquisition of an
outstanding library of rare medical books.  This collection, formed over 30
years by the late Eddie Mauer, distinguished heart specialist, scholar and
collector of anatomy books, is especially rich in Vesaliana and his circle.
Among Dr. Mauer's extensive library is the magnificent Sterling-Maxwell copy
of the Epitome and a Fabrica, as well as noted works by Eustachius,
Valverde, Leveling, Moro and Mundinus.  This  collection is of scholarly
interest for the study of the history of medicine, and includes
biographical, historical and bibliographical materials, many unrecorded.  In
addition, there are a large number of pamphlets and ephemera.

	OFFERINGS from this collection will be by request.  We would appreciate
inquiries only from those who are serious collectors in this subject area.
The first part of the collection containing the Vesaliana is now available.
Please send your request by e-mail, fax or letter.  

	IF you would like to be placed on a permanent mailing list for new
acquisitions, specialized offerings or our catalogues of fine and important
works in science, medicine, early technology and natural history, please
provide your name, complete address, telephone and fax numbers, e-mail
address, institutional affiliation, if any, and specific collecting interests.
