Provenance: Henri Aniere, Paris (sticker to front pastedown). A fine, crisp and wide-margined copy. ---- Eimas, Heirs of Hippocrates 333, Cushing F25; NLM/Durling 1438; Waller 2934; Wellcome I, 2156 (2nd edition only). EXCEPTIONALLY RARE FIRST EDITION. "Fallopius was a clinician as well as an anatomist, and this treatise on diseases of the skin (ulcers and tumors) is one of the most complete of its kind up to the time of its publication. An interesting bibliographical point in this copy is the canceling of leaf 1 with a substitute leaf, but the cancelland was not removed, thus leaving both the original leaf and its substitute in place." (Heirs of Hippocrates). This first edition is rare. Only one copy has appeared at auction in the past 80 years (the Virchow copy, Christie's 2016). - Visit our website for additional images and information.
