Exercitatio Anatomica: De Motu Cordis & Sanguinis, cum Praefatione Zachariae Silvii

Descripción

Roterodami: Arnoldo Leers, 1648. 12mo, [xiii][ix][ii], 215, 219, w Index at rear. Fourth edition overall of this landmark work, with two engraved plates (both present), textual corrections, preface by Zachariae Silvii and supporting work by James de Back. Considered by many to be one of the most important medical works ever written, Harvey's work was the first to lay out in detail the processes involved in the circulation of the blood in the human body. This Rotterdam edition proved critical to the dissemination of Harvey's ideas across the Continent, where they received more support than in his native England. This copy LACKS the engraved frontispiece, but textually complete, with moderate foxing and some light intermittent staining and soiling throughout. Recently bound in handsome full leather and matching clamshell folding box which yawns slightly when standing upright, otherwise a handsomely bound copy of an important work. OCLC locates approximately 30 copies of this edition. Wellcome I 3070. N° de ref. del artículo 0001
