In-12° (mm 132x79). Pagine [36], 415, [5]. Frontespizio calcografico con sovrano incoronato recante in mano la sfera del creato e affiancato da un'aquila. Capilettera e testatine incise in legno. Arrossature diffuse qualche gora marginale, leggere bruniture, minimi lavori di tarlo al margine interno delle carte del fascicolo )( )( che non toccano il testo.

Prima edizione stampata nel continente. Garrison-Morton, 6146: "The chapter on labour ("De partu") in this book represents the first original work on obstetrics to be published by an English author." 12° (132x79 mm). [36], 415, [5] pages. Engraved title-page showing Jove seated on a pedestal, opening an egg to release all of creation. Woodcut decorated initials and headpieces. A good copy, spotted throughout, light foxing and browning, marginal wormholes on quire )( )( not affecting the text. Contemporary limp vellum. Spine with inked title. Minor spots and stains to covers and spine. Ownership stamp to the verso of the rear flyleaf 'Prof. Giuseppe Franchini'. Famous counterfeit, appeared only few months after the original first edition of 1651, of Harvey's most important work on conception, embryology, and birth, the text of the chapter De partu being the first original English work on obstetrics. "After the publication of De motu cordis, Harvey turned his attention to the study of generation. Even if Harvey had not discovered the circulation of the blood, his remarkable work on embryology would have placed him in the front ranks of biological scientists. Without benefit of the compound microscope, his work was necessarily limited; nevertheless, nothing comparable had been done since Aristotle. He disbelieved the previously held doctrine of 'preformation' of the fetus, maintaining instead that it proceeds from the ovum by gradual building up of its parts" (Heirs of Hippocrates, 271). Garrison-Morton, 6146: "The chapter on labour ("De partu") in this book represents the first original work on obstetrics to be published by an English author."
