Fabricius, Hieronymus (1533-1619)
Tractatus Anatomicus Triplex.

[Oppenheim or Frankfurt]: Johann Theodorum de Bry, 1614.

Small folio, ¶4, A-X4, Y3, illustrated with engraved title, eleven full-paged engravings and nine folding engravings from Giovanni Georgi's Opera Chirurgica added at the end; bound in later half leather and paper-covered boards, rebacked and recornered, 12 1/4 x 7 1/2 in.

In this work, surgeon Fabricius, an anatomy professor at Padua and student of Fallopius, shares detailed anatomical images and descriptions of the eye and the larynx. The actual position of the lens is illustrated for the first time on page sixty-four, and the monograph on the larynx is the first of its kind.
