SPALLANZANI Lazzaro. Expériences pour servir a l'histoire de la Génération des Animaux et des Plantes... Avec une ébauche de l'histoire des êtres organisés avant la fécondation, par Jean Sénébier. Genève, Barthelemy Chirol, 1786. 8vo mm. 200 x 130, pp. [4], XCVI, 413, with 3 folded copper plates in the end including XX figures. Contemporary full calf binding, ribbed spine with gilt titles and ornaments on spine. Slightly browning plates, but good copy.
French version of the text originally appeared in the Dissertations of Animal and Plant Physics [Modena, 1780], with the addition of an important Sénébier's initial dissertation, in which it is noteworthy that in this version there are some original remarks by Spallanzani which had not been included in the Italian edition. This edition is in two different runs, one dated 1785 and the other with the date 1786, but the edition is always the same. Prandi, p. 82; Cole Library, n. 1860. Blake, p. 427.
