Very good copy in its officinal binding. Rare first edition. Gabriele Falloppio was one of the greatest anatomists of the sixteenth century, a pupil of Vesalius. He taught at the University of Padua from 1551. He was the author of admirable anatomical discoveries, with fundamental contributions in osteology, myology, and splanchnology. In his numerous anatomical studies he described the exact structure of the uterine tubes, also called fallopian tubes, the oculomotor muscles, the chorda tympani, the bony cochlea, and the aqueduct of the vestibule. Besides being one of the most important scientists in the history of anatomy, he also made important contributions in comparative anatomy, botany, physiology, and pharmacology. A sought-after physician, he had an extensive clientele who called on him for consultation from all parts of Italy: in this regard he is also remembered for having treated and cured Paolo Manuzio. Falloppio's pharmacological merits have recently been brought to light by A. Benedicenti in his work Malati, medici e farmacisti, which lists him as one of the most distinguished pharmacologists of the 16th century.Hirsch, II, p. 475. Durling, 1453. Wellcome, I, 2159.
