BONET (Theophilus). Medicina septentrionalis collatitia, sive rei medicæ, nuperis annis a medicis Anglis, Germanis & Danis emissae, sylloge & syntaxis. Genevae, sumptibus Leonardi Chouët & Socii, 1686. 2 vols. in-folio, [6] f., 882 p., [10] f., 13 pl. + [7] f., 1021 p., [12] f. (the last one blank), 19 (out of 20) plates, some of them double, contemporary brown calf, spine with 6 raised bands, title-pieces, decorated boards, red edges (epidermis, rough repairs to spine and corners, brown spotting, worms affecting a few letters without gravity pp.680-700 t.2, 1 plate loose, another tear without damage, no page 146-147 in t.1 without damage to the quire; one plate missing in t.2). New edition following the original of 1684 of this imposing work, which combines a compilation of the most important medical studies of the 17th century with the observations of the author, himself a physician. Théophile Bonet (1620-1689) is considered the creator of pathological anatomy and the precursor of Morgagni, who, like Haller, admired his work. The work is illustrated with 33 plates (here 32 with discontinuous numbering), some double or folding, representing parts of the human body, animals, plants, as well as monstrous creatures. (Wellcome, 1-5827; Brunet I, 1098, ed. 1685).
