Online, images are increasingly treated less as singular works than as pieces of a broader aesthetic puzzle – each with a distinct label. Bu

These images come from Catoptrum microcosmicum by Johann Remmelin, a copy of which can be found in the John Martin Rare Book Room at Hardin Library for the Health Sciences.

Earlier works had incorporated flaps of various kinds to demonstrate layers of anatomy; however, Remmelin was interested in creating a complete anatomy using flaps. His Catoptrum microcosmicum was originally published in 1619 (also in the JMRBR collection) and included nearly 120 flaps (although a version of this book was initially published in 1613 by a printer friend of his, even though Remmelin did not think the book was ready). Interestingly, Catoptrum microcosmicum demonstrates a moral conflict with the presentation of bodies, adding modesty flaps, sometimes in multiple layers, over genitalia.

This book, along with other examples of flap books and marvelous feats of paper engineering can be seen in the exhibit Paper Engineering in Art, Science, and Education, now open at the Main Library Gallery.

A Dada Moment

Perhaps the most elusive of the dadaists, Julien Torma supposedly lived from 1902 to 1933 and published four books during his purported lifetime. However, there is no firm documentation of his life, and it is widely assumed that he never in fact existed.

Around 1952 the College of Pataphysics, a tongue-in-cheek institution founded in 1948, issued a broadside offering all four of Torma’s books for sale in honor of the 50th anniversary of his “birth,” caling him “the greatest pataphysician of the XXth century.”

We have recently acquired the complete set of four, and the inclusion of the broadside in one of the books strongly suggests that our copies came from the “Collège de Pataphisique.”
