ANDRÉ DU LAURENS | July 2017 Notes from the John Martin Rare Book Room @Hardin Library

ANDRÉ DU LAURENS (1558-1609). De mirabili strumas sanandi vi solis Galliae regi-bus christianissimis divinitus concessa liber unus. Paris: Apud Marcum Orry, 1609.

Du Laurens taught at Montpellier until 1598 when he was called to Paris as court physician. In this position he eventually became personal physician to Marie de Medici and King Henry IV.

During the Middle Ages, tuberculosis of the lymph glands of the neck was very common and was known variously as scrofula, struma, and the “King’s Evil.” For centuries it was believed that the “royal touch” could cure this disease and many English and French monarchs were in the habit of touching their afflicted subjects during major religious holidays.

Du Laurens was a firm believer in the effectiveness of the “royal touch” and, in this work, reports that King Henry IV often touched and healed as many as 1,500 individuals at a time.

The University of Iowa copy has an interesting provenance and can be traced back to original owner Jean Auguste de Thou, who died in 1617.

You may view this book in the John Martin Rare Book Room, Hardin Library for the Health Sciences. Make a gift to the Hardin Library for the Health Sciences by donating online or setting up a recurring gift with The University of Iowa Foundation.

Meet Mirko von Elstermann, Biomedical Sciences Librarian

Mirko von Elstermann began working at Hardin Library for the Health Sciences on May 31, 2017 as the Biomedical Sciences Librarian.

Mirko von Elstermann grew up in Western Germany’s Cologne area. Before moving to Iowa he was living in Lima, Peru with his Peruvian wife and their baby daughter.

Mirko earned an M.A. in Philosophy and an M.Sc. in Biology from the University of Cologne. In 2006 he graduated with a Ph.D. in Physiology; his thesis was about the formation of a breast-cancer cell specific carbohydrate antigen.

From 2006 to 2009 Mirko worked as an editor at Nature Publishing Group (London, UK) and for a short time at Wiley-VCH (Weinheim, Germany). Until 2011 he was the subject librarian for molecular biology and medicine at Basel University Library/Basel University Hospital in Switzerland, where he also studied library and information sciences. In his LIS master’s thesis he discussed services and resources of a biomedical library in the future. Next, Mirko worked as a specialist librarian at The University of Veterinary Medicine (Hanover, Germany).

Later he moved to Lima (Peru) where he worked as a freelance editor, translator, and biomedical information provider. During these years he also had a stint as the biosciences information librarian and managing editor of a medical education platform–Innovations in Global Health Professions Education--at Weill Cornell Medicine in Doha (Qatar).

Mirko is Hardin’s liaison to researchers and faculty of the basic sciences at the Carver College of Medicine–cell biology, biochemistry, microbiology, and molecular physiology/biophysics. He also looks forward to supporting students of the College of Medicine’s graduate programs in genetics, immunology, molecular cell biology, and free radical and radiation biology. Mirko enjoys reaching out to students and researchers from many different areas and supporting projects from inception to publication. For several years he has used Twitter @BiomedRevon to highlight his own biomedical reading selections.

Mirko and his family moved to Iowa City in May, 2017. As Lima had an arid climate, they particularly enjoy exploring green areas for outdoor activities. Besides swimming and walking, Mirko enjoys literature and music.

Fabricius, De visione, voce, auditu | June 2017 Notes from the John Martin Rare Book Room @Hardin Library

HIERONYMUS FABRICUS ab Aquapendente (ca. 1533-1619). De visione, voce, auditu. 3 parts in 1 volume. Venice: Per Franciscum Bolzettam, 1600.

One of the great Paduan anatomists and teachers, pupil of Fallopius, teacher of Harvey, and friend of Galileo, Fabricius built the first anatomical theater for public dissections at Padua, which is still preserved intact.

De visione voce, auditu was the first anatomy book with clearly scientific illustrations and set a precedent for future anatomists. Prior to this, anatomical illustrations often combined illustration with art such as Vesalius’ carefully composed skeletons.

During his long life, Fabricus produced a number of important works on anatomy, embryology, and physiology, characterized by numerous large, clear copperplate illustrations. The major portion of this work on the organs of vision, speech, and hearing is devoted to the eye, and it is clear that Fabricius was one of the first to grasp the true form and proper location of the lens. Although his description of the ear is sound, it contributed no new knowledge about the ear or the sense of hearing. An extremely competent comparative anatomist, he was at his best in dealing with the laryngeal apparatus.

Phishing Scams Emails Look Like They are From Library | Don’t Get Caught!

The UI Libraries will never ask a user to verify HawkID and password via email. If you received an email from the libraries that asked you to log in and verify your account, this is a scam. Do not click!

If you received an email, clicked the link and logged in, your HawkID account could be compromised. Please contact your department IT staff or call ITS at 319-384-4257 or email its-helpdesk@uiowa.edu as soon as possible.

This is a copy of a scam phishing email that was sent to health science users:

—–longer explanation—–
In the last several weeks, the UI campus has been a target of many phishing scams that try to steal a user’s HawkID password. A number of those phishing scams have been emails that are made to appear as though they are coming from the library and inform users that their library account is expiring due to inactivity. The scam then goes on to tell the user that they need to successfully login in order to reactivate their account.

If a user clicks on the link they are directed to a page that looks like our proxy login page but is not. Then once the user signs on, their HawkID and password are compromised and they are then just directed to our proxy page as if the login just didn’t work.

With the compromised password, hackers then have access to library resources via the proxy server. From there, they have been systematically downloading journal articles from various vendors. If not caught right away, some vendors have cut off access to their resources from our proxy server until we can identify the compromised account and address it. Because of this the UI Libraries has become more proactive at trying to identify compromised accounts before proxy access is denied by the vendors. We are encountering compromised HawkIDs that are using the proxy server almost on a daily basis. So, as a reminder, the UI Libraries will never ask for a user to verify their HawkID and password via an email.
