Couverture rigide. Condition: Bon. titre-front., 87 (i.e. 77) Abrahmum Wolgang,Amsterdam, 1676 (1677), in-8, titre-front, 87 (i.e. 77) pp. ; et [1]-292-[4] pp, 51 (sur 53) pl, basane havane de l'époque, dos à nerfs et fleuronné, L'illustration comprend 18 belles planches d'anatomie comprises dans la pagination pour la première partie et 51 planches hors texte pour la seconde : un grand nombre de ces dernières ont été découpées à la cuvette. Gerard Blaes (? 1692) est l'auteur de trois ouvrages sur l'anatomie comparée, celui-ci étant le premier, publié à l'origine en 1673 (Miscellanea anatomica. Amsterdam, Kaspar Commelijn). Ses recherches aboutiront à l'important Anatome animalium de 1681, qui est considéré comme le premier manuel complet d'anatomie comparée basé sur les recherches originales et littéraires d'un anatomiste alors en activité. La présente édition est la seconde, augmentée et ornée d'un titre-frontispice à la date de 1677. Les pages qui concernent l'anatomie comparée sont des réimpressions de l'édition originale. En tout, l'auteur décrit ici l'anatomie de 14 espèces d'animaux (tortue, canard, pigeon, boeuf, mouton, cochon, chien, chat, civette, renard, rat, lapin, lièvre et singe) ; les pages qui concernent l'anatomie du chien constituent le premier traité complet et original sur un vertébré depuis le célèbre ouvrage de Carlo Ruini sur le cheval (1598). Cachets anciens de l'Institut catholique de Paris. Reliure usagée. Il manque 2 planches (se plaçant aux pages 190 et 192). Aussi, nous signalons une erreur dans la pagination sur les 10 premières pages de la première partie, celle-ci est bien complète. Cole, p. 150 et suiv. Nissen ZBI, n° 385.

Amsterdan: A. van Someren and Hendrik and widow Th. Boom, 1681, 4°, (8), 496 pp., w. engr. frontisp. by J. Luyken, num. ills. on 5 engr. plates and 60 full-page engravings, cont. vellum; fine. First Edition! The highly emblematic frontispiece which is the work of the Dutch illustrator and engraver Jan Luyken (1649-1712), preceding the regular title page, contains figures that are of unusual allegorical interest; it shows a personification of science unveiling a personification of nature whose appearance is inspired by the classical goddesses Artemis and Isis. 119 species of animals are selected for treatment, and as many as 78 of them are depicted! "The first comprehensive manual of comparative anatomy based on the original and literary researches of a working anatomist. The book, which is illustrated with over 800 engraved figures on 65 plates, is largely a compendium of previous writers on the subject, but does include Blaes's own investigations. He is particularly interested in embryology and deals with the foetal membranes and development of ruminants, rabbit, cat, horse, and the chick. The illustrated monograph on the chick is a very careful and thorough piece of of compilation, and may be recommended as a competent exposition of contemporary embryology. Blaes was the first to link the production of voice in birds with the lower larynx, and he anticipated Cowper in finding Cowper's glands, which he illustrated in his plate of the genitalia and os penis of the rat. The 85 pages devoted to the anatomy of the dog was the first comprehensive and original treatise on a vertebrate since Ruini's monoghraph of the horse (Bologna 1598). It was Blaes who attacked Steno in the dispute as to which of them had been responsible for the discovery of the duct of the parotid gland." Hagströmer Libr. Blasius first published much of the material in this work, including the treatise on the anatomy of the dog, in his ?'Miscellanea anatomica, hominis, brutorumque variorum, fabricam diversam magna parte exhibentia?' (Amsterdam: Caspar Commelin, 1673.). In that work the 'Anatome canis' appeared on pp. 168-252. Other material previously appeared in Blasius's Observata anatomica in homine, simia, equo, virtulo, ovo.(Leiden, 1674).
