Digestion.- Pavlov (Ivan Petrovich) Die Arbeit der Verdauungsdrüsen, translated by Dr.A.Walther, first edition in German, lacking half-title, with graphs in text, 4pp. advertisements at end, contemporary half roan, [cf.PMM 385], Wiesbaden, 1898 § Beaumont (William) Experiments and Observations on the Gastric Juice, and the Physiology of Digestion, edited by Andrew Combe, half-title, traces of library stamps to title and final leaf, later cloth-backed boards, Edinburgh, 1838 § Tiedemann (F.) & Leopold Gmelin. Recherches Expérimentales, Physiologiques et Chimiaues sur la Digestion, 2 parts, first edition in French, half-title, errata leaf at end, tables, book-label of the nutritionist John Yudkin, contemporary roan-backed boards, spine faded, Paris, 1827, all rubbed; and 13 others on digestion, 8vo & 4to (16) ⁂ The first mentioned was first published in Russian in St.Petersburg in 1897 and appeared in English as Lectures on the Function of the Main Food-Digesting Glands in 1902. Pavlov observed that gastric juices in animals flowed upon seeing or smelling food which led him to develop the idea of the conditioned reflex, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1905. The second item was the most important study of digestion before Pavlov, by an American army surgeon, and first published in Plattsburgh, NY in 1833.

PAVLOV IVAN PETROVICH (RUSSIAN 1849-1936), author, KIRNARSKY MARK ABRAMOVICH (RUSSIAN 1893-1941), cover, DVADTSATILETNIY OPYT OBIEKTIVNOGO IZUCHENIYA VYSHEY NERVNOY DEYATELNOSTI ZHIVOTNYKH: USLOVNYIE REFLEKSY [Twenty Years' Experience in the Objective Study of the Higher Nervous Activity of Animals: Conditioned Reflexes], (Moscow-Petrograd: GIZ, 1923). 4to (260 x 180 mm) softcover. Text in Russian. First edition, 6000 copies only. LOT NOTES Pavlov was a famous Russian (Soviet) physiologist who was born in Ryazan, but mostly lived in St. Petersburg. Rejecting the career of a priest offered to him by his parents, in 1870 he enrolled in the Physics and Mathematics Department of St. Petersburg University, which he graduated from in 1875. Interested in physiology, he then continued his studies at the Imperial Military Medical Academy while working at the Veterinary Institute, and then was invited by Botkin as director of his physiological laboratory. In 1890, he was appointed to the position of Professor of Pharmacology at the Military Medical Academy and in 1891 was invited to the Imperial Institute of Experimental Medicine in St. Petersburg to organize and direct the Department of Physiology. In 1904, Pavlov won the Nobel Prize in physiology and medicine, becoming the first Russian Nobel laureate. PROVENANCE INFORMATION This lot comes from the collection of Viktor Kholodkov (1948-2015), who fulfilled his passion for books, avant-garde design and paper memorabilia by devoting his life to collecting and dealing of prominent works of Russian graphic art of the first half of the 20th century. The dedicated collector acquired a multitude of books and artworks throughout decades, meticulously labeling and archiving every single item. Many came directly from the most preeminent artists of the time, as well as from their families and estates. He also possessed a vast number of drawings from the famous collection of another avant-garde enthusiast, Nikolai Khardzhiev. After leaving the USSR in 1989 and settling in California, Viktor continued his work as a Soviet art dealer and critic, actively publishing various articles and contributing to several major Russian avant-garde exhibitions across the U.S., such as the 1991 Russia Under Fire in the 40s on the West Coast and the 1992 Guggenheim exhibition The Great Utopia: The Russian and Soviet Avant-Garde. Kholodkov also contributed to the archives of the biggest American institutions. His sophisticated selection of over 2000 Russian sheet music covers was acquired by The Library of Congress, and an extensive amount of material related to VKhUTEMAS is now at the J. Paul Getty Museum.

Bringing his surgical knowledge and experimental ingenuity to bear on the problem, he created fistulae -- such as that to the stomach illustrated on p.19 -- which enabled him to study the mechanisms of digestion and their control, and to stimulate them artificially.

Provenance: signature on upper wrapper and title; anonymous owner (Christie's, London, 10 March 1982, lot 71). FIRST EDITION OF "PERHAPS THE GREATEST CONTRIBUTION TO OUR KNOWLEDGE OF THE PHYSIOLOGY OF DIGESTION" (Garrison-Morton), containing the first demonstration of what Pavlov later named the "conditioned reflex." Pavlov was the first to successfully devise a method of studying the physiology of digestion in healthy animals. In 1852, Friedrich Bidder and Carl Schmidt had observed that the sight of food produced a flow of gastric juices in a dog, but Pavlov was the first researcher to observe the process in its entirety and to do so without injury to the animal subject. A skilled surgeon, Pavlov "was successful in producing gastric fistulas without damaging the nerve supply and was also able to create fistulas in the salivary glands, pancreas and intestines. More importantly, he was able to restore his experimental animals postoperatively to a nearly normal state, and this enabled him to observe them over long periods, in keeping with his dictum that organs, and indeed the entire organism, must be studied under natural conditions. Through various experiments, Pavlov was able to demonstrate that the effects of feeding were transmitted to the gastric glands by nervous channels, so that gastric juice could be made to flow from the gastric glands even when food was prevented from entering the stomach. He called the flow of gastric juice that occurred without the actual ingestion of food... 'psychic secretion'" (Grolier Medicine). Pavlov's later investigation of this phenomenon, pursued in the context of his studies of behavior and of the physiology of the brain, led him to develop the concept of the "conditioned reflex," which he applied to glandular activity that is initiated in response to environmental stimuli in contrast to the "unconditioned reflex" of internally activated processes like digestion. For his work in the physiology of digestion Pavlov was awarded the Nobel Prize in physiology in 1904. Because of the wide-ranging significance of his discovery of the conditioned reflex, in recent years Pavlov "has come to be regarded as a mechanist who saw complex behavior as the sum of individual conditioned reflexes. This is a profound error, since in Pavlov's view the brain, through its capacity for subtle analysis and complex synthesis, integrates a vast range of conditioned reflexes into coherent behavior corresponding to the specific circumstances and needs of the organism" (DSB).
