The Golgi Apparatus and other Papers by Golgi

The Golgi Apparatus (Golgi Body)

(1) Camillo Golgi. “Sur la structure des cellules nerveuses”, in Archives Italiennes de Biologie, Turin, Hermann Loescher, 1898, vol 30 pp 60-71 in the volume of vii, 496pp. Each of the three fascicles has the original front wrapper bound in at rear. (with 5 plates, 3 of which are folding). (This article printed November 1898, and first published in Boll. d. Soc. Medico-chirurgica di Pavia, 19 April 1898.)

And bound with:

“Sur la structure des cellules nerveuses des ganglions spinaux”, printed 27 December 1898, pp 278-286 (published in Boll. d. Soc. Medico-chirurgica di Pavia, 15 July 1898.)

And offered with:

Golgi. “Une methode pour la prompte et facile demonstration de l'appareil reticulaire interne des cellules nerveuses”. In Archives Italiennes de Biologie, Turin, Hermann Loescher, 1908, vol 49, pp 269-274 in the volume of viii, 458pp.

These volumes are rebound in black library cloth, with the gilt-stamped call number at spine bottom, below which is “SI Library” (“Smithsonian Institution”). The binding is very sturdy and relatively recent (within the last 50 years); the quality of the paper used by the journal is not high, and it suffers some tenderness and browning around the page edges. This volume gets a conservative “Good” though it may be closer to “Very Good”. Three papers in two volumes: $500

• "The GA is named after its discoverer Camillo Golgi, who first described the complex apparato reticolare interno in 1898..."--Mironov A.A., Pavelka M. (2008) "The Golgi apparatus and main discoveries in the field of intracellular transport".. In: Mironov A.A., Pavelka M. (eds) The Golgi Apparatus. Springer, Vienna 
• “On April 1898 Camillo Golgi communicated to the Medical–Surgical Society of Pavia, the discovery of the “internal reticular apparatus”, a novel intracellular organelle which he observed in nerve cells with the silver impregnation he had introduced for the staining of the nervous system. Soon after the discovery it became evident that this cellular component, which was also named the “Golgi apparatus”, was a ubiquitous structure in eukaryotic cells.”--Mazzarello Paolo,Garbarino Carla and Calligaro Alberto(2009), How Camillo Golgi became “the Golgi”, FEBS Letters, 583, 
• “Golgi also reported the observation, on the surface of the nerve cell, of ‘a special very delicate covering, made of a substance clearly differentiable from that of the cell body’ (Golgi, 1898a). The existence of these perineuronal nets was forgotten until recently when it attracted great interest in neurocytology”--Paolo Mazzarello, “Camillo Golgi’s Scientific Biography” Journal of the History of the Neurosciences, 1999, Vol. 8, No. 2, pp. 121–131.

Both papers are bound in Archives Italiennes de Biologie, Turin, Hermann Loescher, 1891, vol 14, vii, 443pp., 11 plates. $175

• "Camillo Golgi, an Italian neurophysiologist, established that there were at least two forms of the disease, one with tertian periodicity (fever every other day) and one with quartan periodicity (fever every third day). He also observed that the forms produced differing numbers of merozoites (new parasites) upon maturity and that fever coincided with the rupture and release of merozoites into the blood stream. He was awarded a Nobel Prize in Medicine for his discoveries in neurophysiology in 1906."--CDC site on the history of malaria. 
• "In the years 1886-1892, Golgi provided fundamental contributions to the study of malaria: he elucidated the cycle of the malaria agent, the Plasmodium, in red blood cells, and the temporal coincidence between the recurrent chills and fever with the release of the parasite in the blood. Golgi also studied the efficacy of the administration of quinine during the disease."--Nobel Prize site, biography of Golgi.
• "Between 1885 and 1892--a period in which great advances have been made in techniques and practice of the young science of microbiology--Camillo Golgi provided a notable contribution to malariology. Continuing studies and researches of Roman malariologists Ettore Marchiafava (1847-1935) and Angelo Celli (1857-1914), on the malarial parasites--described by the French military physician Alphonse Laveran--he studied the reproduction cycles of the Plasmodium in human blood (Golgi cycles) and elucidated the temporal coincidence between the recurrent chills and fever with the rupture and release of merozoites into the blood stream (Golgi law)."--Tognotti, E. “Camillo Golgi and the contribution of the Italian scientists to the development of the malariology in the last quarter of the nineteenth century”Med Secoli. 2007;19(1):101-17, Med Secoli. 2007;19(1):101-17.
