AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Full brown light leather binding with wear to the hinges. Back with five raised bands with ornaments and a gilt title.
1 white leaf, [7], 274, [6], 1 white leaf
The first descriptions of the lymphatic system are due to Johann Vesling (1598-1649), a Venetian surgeon of Saxon origin. The Syntagma Anatomicum is undoubtedly one of the most sought-after anatomy treatises of the 17th century, with splendid plates that are remarkable from an anatomical point of view as they are more accurate than those of Vesling’s predecessors.
First published in Padua in 1641 without illustrations, it later saw several reissues and translations.
Figure frontispiece (depicting the Padua anatomical cabinet) engraved on a full page and a printer’s mark on the title page (both have been restored). Decorated initial letters throughout the volume. 20 beautiful full-page anatomical engravings; Gora print which leaves browning in the upper part of the first 20 leaves; marginal tears in paper on pp. 149, 173; restorations to leaves KK2 and KK4; browning on the last 40 pp. Overall, a copy in fair condition, still usable and complete.
