VALVERDE DE HAMUSCO, Juan (fl. 1552). La Anatomia del corpo umano. Venice: Giunta, 1586.

Second Italian edition of Valverde's anatomy, the first to include four additional plates of ‘muscle men’, and with a newly engraved title-page. Valverde became the leading Spanish anatomist of his time. His anatomical atlas was widely used, reprinted, and translated for the next hundred years. All but fifteen of his images were taken directly from the 1543 and 1555 editions of Vesalius's Fabrica. Valverde justified his copying of the plates as the clearest way to demonstrate points of difference between the two anatomists. Valverede made over sixty corrections and additions to Vesalius's work, notably correcting Vesalius's and Galen's mistaken notion on the movement of the blood through the septum. Wellcome I, 6477; Heirs of Hippocrates 319; Durling 4533; Choulant 205; Adams V-231.

Folio (288 x 202mm). Engraved title page and author portrait, 46 full-page anatomical engravings, including the four new plates of ‘muscle men’, a few marginal woodcut diagrams (title lightly soiled, occasional light spotting or light staining, a few wormholes limited to first and last quire, last outer bifolium rehinged). Early vellum (later pastedowns wormed, rebacked with some spine leather replaced, a little soiled).
