SENEQUE. Senecae Tragoediae. Venice, Filippo Giunta, 1506. In-8 (167 x 98 mm) of 224 ff. (coll. a-z⁸ &⁸ A-D⁸ (D8 blank)). Rubricated lettering in red and blue. Brown calf, spine ribbed with cold decoration, handwritten title label, boards decorated with a large decoration of cold roulettes, chased edges (binding of the period ). Rubbed, leather missing from tail of spine, corners dulled, clasps missing. Slight marginal dampening. Handwritten Marginalia (late 16th century). Minor worm damage to endpapers. Fine edition in italic type, containing for the first time a commentary on the life of Seneca and the argumenta of Benedetto Riccardini. "After the Paris edition by C. Fernandus, the edition by Benedetto Riccardini, known as 'Philologus', was again published in Italy, but in Florence, by the famous printer F. Giunta. Giunta. It demonstrates typographic research and new page organization, with the insertion of a colophon at the end of the book and the use of italics. The text is much tighter, undoubtedly intended for a more assiduous reading, by a larger audience, all the more so as the copy adopts a reduced format. The arguments are found here, but in a new version: they are in prose and quite developed (so much so that the second Juntine edition, of 1513, will offer an abridged version)."" Pascale Rey, ""Les éditions des tragédies de Sénèque conservées à la Bibliothèque nationale de France (XVe-XIXe s.)"", in L'Antiquité à la BnF, 17/01/2018, https://antiquitebnf.hypotheses.org/1643). Bookplates (religious congregations) and handwritten notes to title and top of first page (including a quotation from Seneca).

Valverde, who was one of the greatest anatomists of the 16th century, who popularized the anatomy of Galen and Vesalius.

Hamusco, ca 1525-ca 1588, was a pupil of Realdo Colombo in Padua. Although he has often been accused of plagiarizing Vesalius, Hamusco's work instead differs significantly in text and illustrations; he includes for the first time Columbus's account of the pulmonary circulation, and 15 new illustrations not derived from Vesalius are included in the book, where, moreover, Vesalian plates are also retouched. Morton: "The first great original medical book in Spanish and the most original of the "pagliarisms" from Vesalius....
