Venetiis, Iuntae 1556. 342 pages. Folio. The first ca 50 and the last ca 50 pages water-stained on upper corner. Some contemporary notes and underlinings in the book. Some scattered spotting. Old worn vellum with damaged spine. Lacking ties. Pastedowns covered with old incunabula leaves.

Singelvolum fra tredje Giunta utgave av Galenus sine verk. Ekstremt sjeldent å se komplette samlinger med alle volumene. Denne utgaven med bidrag fra Andreas Vesalius. Vakkert illustrert tittelblad. En sjelden bok å komme over i noen slags tilstand, spesielt interessant for alle med sans for medisinsk historie.

“The principal and best of the translations [of Galen] are those published

at Venice by Juntas and at Basel by Forbinius.” – Clifford W. Mack, “The

Lure of Medical History,” Cal West Med. 1928 Apr; 28(4): 495–497.

"Lucantonio Giunti or Giunta (1457–1538) was a Florentine book publisher

and printer, active in Venice from 1489, a member of the Giunti family of

printers. His publishing business was successful, and among the most

important in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. [Wikip.]."

"The editions with Vesalius’s contributions to the Opera Galeni, published by Giunta (Venice) are described in Cushing pp. 63-71, and in Elly Cockx-Indestege pp. 43-52."
