Lot 189 | VALVERDE, Juan De (attivo 1560) - Anatome corporis humani
VALVERDE, Juan De (attivo 1560) - Anatome corporis humani. Venice: Giunti, 1607. Second Latin edition of this work sought after for its fine plates, here engraved in a very good impression. Valverde stated in his text that he had Vesalius' illustrations copied, but fifteen plates were original to his work, and Valverde changed a number of Vesalius' images by combining them, or by adding extraneous details such as suits of armor or new heads. Choulant-Frank credits the Spanish painter and sculptor Gaspar Becerra (1520-1570) for the illustrations to Valverde's book. Some, such as the standing flayed man holding his own skin, or the portions of dissected cadavers wearing suits of armor, are among the most dramatic anatomical images of the sixteenth century. Folio (294 x 190mm). Engraved title with scheletons and printer's device repeated at end, woodcut initials and headpieces (light waterstaining to top corner at beginning, to outer edge in centre and heavier to top margin at end, some spotting). Modern vellum, manuscript title on spine, speckled edges, preserved in a modern marbled paper case. Provenance: Early monogramm on title and some annotations - Baron, Hyacinthe Théodore (1707-1787, bookplate; military doctor, dean of the Faculty of Medicine of Paris from 1750 to 1753, member of the Academy of Sciences, collector and bibliophile).
