The book is complete, as issued. Lovely French-language edition of Du Laurens works, with a set of 26 anatomical engravings derived from Vesalius and others. In addition to the author's textbook of anatomy and his account of scrofula, the volume contains works on geriatrics, melancholy and other mental afflictions, and an early opthalmological work which describes the anatomy and diseases of the eye. 'The volume has an exceptionally well-engraved title page, the author's engraved portrait, and numerous historical and ornamental woodcut initials' (Heirs of Hippocrates, page 144). According to Krivatsy, the French translation of Du Laurens Opera Omnia was first published by P. Mettayer in Paris in 1613, and was reprinted by Raphael Du Petit Val in Rouen in 1621. The copy here has an engraved title signed by du Petit Val in Rouen and dated 1661; the Rouen librairie presumably recycled some of the original Paris-printed titles, modifying the original engraving. Du Laurens (1558-1609) was the court physician to Marie de Medicis and Henry IV and previously had been professor at the University of Montpellier. A heavy book, so note shipping costs. Please note that the binding is original calf, but the front joint is coming loose. The corners are good though. See photos.
