Zena Chiara Masud

A fine and attractive copy of Giorgio Baglivi’s celebrated Opera Omnia Medico-Practica et Anatomica, printed in Venice by the renowned Remondini press in 1752, representing one of the most complete and refined 18th-century editions of this important medical work.

Baglivi (1668–1707), one of the leading physicians of early modern Europe and professor at the Sapienza in Rome, played a fundamental role in the development of modern clinical medicine. His works, widely disseminated across Europe, were highly influential in shaping medical thought between the 17th and 18th centuries.

This Venetian edition, described on the title page as editio postrema veneta emendatissima, brings together Baglivi’s principal treatises, including his studies on solidism, physiology, and pathology, alongside additional dissertations and scientific observations.

The volume is enriched by a finely engraved and visually striking frontispiece, delicately hand-coloured, likely by a contemporary or slightly later hand, a practice frequently encountered and appreciated in 18th-century copies. The work also includes several engraved scientific plates illustrating mechanical and anatomical concepts, contributing significantly to its scientific and aesthetic appeal.

Printed in Venice (Venetiis, MDCCLII) by the prestigious Remondini press (Typis Remondinianis), one of the most important European printing houses of the period.

The edition is well recorded in major institutional collections, including the Bibliothèque nationale de France, the British Library, and numerous academic libraries worldwide (as reflected in international catalogues such as WorldCat), confirming its wide historical dissemination and scholarly importance.

Condition: structurally sound and complete as issued. Pages generally clean with occasional light, natural age-related toning and sporadic faint spotting. The binding (paper-covered boards) shows expected wear, including visible cuts and surface abrasions to the front board, consistent with age and use, without affecting the integrity of the text block. Overall, a well-preserved and appealing copy.

A desirable and visually attractive example of an important Enlightenment-era medical work, combining scientific significance with decorative qualities, ideal for collectors of early medical literature.
