AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The second edition, and the first with abundant illustrations, of Vesling's important work on anatomy. Among works on anatomy from the 17th century this one stands out for its concise illustrations and practical commentary. In order to avoid confusion, Vesling avoids theoretical discussions in the work and focuses on his observations during dissection. The first edition was published in 1641 but included only 2 plates. This second edition became the standard work and was republished several times. Apparently there was a pirated work published in Amsterdam the same year and identical to the Padua edition. The counterfeit edition can be identified by the absence of the publisher's privilege text on leaf **4 verso.

4to (24 x 18cm). Lacking pages 51-54 and 57-58 (possibly there are illustration(s) in these pages). A bit of marginal damp-staining to last few leaves. Bound in contemporary calf, worn.
