ALBINUS, Bernardus Siegfried. Explicatio Tabularum Anatomicarum Bartholomaei Eustachii, Anatomici summi. Access Tabularum ed. Nova. Leiden, Langerak and Verbeek, 1744. Folio. 380x255 mm. Half-leather binding, gilt title on spine, guard sheets in polychrome marbled paper, red cuts. Pages [8, including Eye and Frontispiece], 275, badly numbered 277, [3]. Title page with title in red and black with Vignette in copper-engraved by J. Wandelaar, 89 copper-engraved plates outside text. Manuscript old owner's name on white guard sheet, dated 1822. Traces of use to binding, internally slight foxing and browning; good copy. First edition. Eustachi's 47 anatomical illustrations, minutely described by Albino and with his important annotations, are presented here in two states: line and chiaroscuro, for a total of 89 plates, all copper-engraved by Jan Wandelaar. These famous plates by Eustachi, completed in 1552, were never printed at the time. Only in 1714 were they published thanks to the interest of the great anatomist Lancisi. Premuda: "If the plates of the scientist from Marche had been published in 1552, Eustachi could have figured alongside Vesalius as one of the founders of modern anatomical science." Belloni: "The edition of the Eustachian plates provided matter to distinguished eighteenth-century anatomists, including Siegfried Albinus of Leiden (1697-1770), for studies and reissues." Choulant: "The plates in this edition are newly engraved copies." Sallander, 337; Blake, p. 139; Waller 337; Choulant, p. 202; Wellcome II, 26. Cf.
