Second edition, printed in Leiden, includingt a new plate engraved by Noach van der Meer elder. "In this second edition of Santorini's Observationes, the text remains unchanged; the plates have been re-engraved although they are the same size as those in the first edition." (Heirs of Hippocrates 787). "At a time when the European universities were making great strides in anatomical discovery and publication, Santorini was considered by his contemporaries to be one of the greatest anatomists. This work records a number of new anatomical discoveries and corrects many errors of earlier anatomists. Santorini's skill and expertise were so outstanding that his name lives on in such anatomical structures as the accessory pancreatic ducts, risorius muscle, arytenoid cartilages, and duodenal papillae, several of which are described in this book. The text is accompanied by three folding copperplates which beautifully illustrate the musculature of the face, the pelvic musculature and genitalia of a sixteen-year-old girl with a tubal pregnancy, the external muscles of the ear, and detailed anatomy of the male genitalia and larynx." (Heirs of Hippocrates 786). "Santorini was one of the ablest dissectors of his day. In the above work many new discoveries of anatomical details are set forth, together with corrections of some of the errors of earlier anatomists. The work describes the four major discoveries for which Santorini is known eponymically: Santorini's cartilage, Santorini's vein, Santorini's duct, and Santorini's caruncula." (G/M 392).

Venedig: Jo. Baptistam Recurti, 1724, 4º, (12), 250 (recte 252) pp., mit 3 Kupferstichtafeln, feiner Halbledereinband. First edition! A Student of the anatomist Lorenzo Bellini (1643-1704) and Malpighi, Giovanni Domenico Santorini (1681-1737) "was generally acknowledged as the outstanding anatomist of his time, carefully dissecting and delineating many difficult and complex gross features of the human body, such as facial muscles involved in emotional expression, accessory pancreatic ducts, and duodenal papillae. His name has been given to some of these structures, such as the arytenoid cartilages (1724), the risorius muscle, and the plexus pudendalis venosus." His most important work was 'Observationes anatomicae' (1724), a valuable exposition of details of human anatomy" that contains "De musuclis facies," "De aure exterriore," "De cerebro,", "De naso,", "De laryngfe", De iis,", "De abdominae,", "De virorum naturalibus," and De muliewrum partris procreationes datis." Santorini was a popular teacher and a pioneer in teaching obstetrics." Chauncey D. Leake, DSB 12, pp.100-101 The work describes the four major discoveries for which Santorini is known eponymically: Santorini's cartilage, Santorini's vein, Santorini's duct, and Santorini's caruncula. Ear - "He paid special attention to the muscles of the auricle, the superior, the "new muscle proper to the concha" (i.e. the anterior), the posterior, and particularly the intrinsic ones. In describing these, he competed with his contemporaries Valsalva and Albinus. For the first time, and in addition to the intrinsic muscles of the tragus, antitragus and transverse muscles, he depicted two more small muscles for the helix, i.e. the "helicis major" (musculus helicis major [TA]) and the "helicis minor" {musculus helicis minor [TA]). He also described better than his predecessors Mery, Duvemey, and Valsalva the fine details of the incisures of the cartilage of the external auditory canal which bear his name (also Santorini's fissures) even if he was not the first to give a description of them. Santorini verified that muscular fibers occasionally passed over the larger incisure: "Its form is usually variable. Sometimes indeed, it separates itself into two after starting from a single beginning, and it is placed on the split of the same incisure. Sometimes it is arranged like an arch. The direction of the fibers of this muscle is as follows: they head from the anterior part for the outside, and they are inserted in the borders of these parts at both ends of the tendon. The other incisure has external muscular fibers. I think I have sometimes clearly seen it, but as I have not seen it frequently enough, and clearly, I do not dare to present it as something sure." Valsalva attributed the first mention of these incisures to Duvemey." Mudry, Albert: The History of Otology (2015), p.243 "At a time when the European universities were making great strides in anatomical discovery and publication, Santorini was considered by his contemporaries to be one of the greatest anatomists. This work records a number of new anatomical discoveries and corrects many errors of earlier anatomists. Santorini's skill and expertise were so outstanding that his name lives on in such anatomical structures as the accessory pancreatic ducts, risorius muscle, arytenoid cartilages, and duodenal papillae, several of which are described in this book.

Minor dampstain in upper margins of plates and last approx. 15 leaves, otherwise very good to fine. Extensive scholarly annotations in a legible and attractive 18th-century hand in the margins of several leaves; note on Santorini's death in the same hand on the front pastedown. First Edition. "Santorini was generally acknowledged as the outstanding anatomist of his time, carefully dissecting and delineating many difficult and complex gross features of the human body, such as facial muscles involved in emotional expression, accessory pancreatic ducts, and duodenal papillae. His name has been given to some of these structures, such as the arytenoid cartilages (1724), the risorius muscle, and the plexus pudendalis venosus . . . His most important work was Observationes anatomicae, a valuable exposition of details of human anatomy" (Dictionary of Scientific Biography). The four major anatomical discoveries for which Santorini is known eponymicallyâ "Santorini's cartilage (larynx), Santorini's vein, Santorini's duct (pancreas) and Santorini's caruncula (pancreas / bile duct)â "are described in this work. This copy of Santorini's Observationes anatomicae bears numerous marginal annotations and corrections in Latin by an anonymous but remarkably erudite 18th-century medical scholar. Many of the notes are so long and detailed that they appear to represent an ongoing writing projectâ "possibly in preparation for a future corrected edition, although no such edition was ever published (the text in the 1739 second edition of Santorini's work is unchanged from the first edition). The manuscript notes appear on 34 pages throughout the text; the most extensive notes are on pages 4-5, 63, 98-99, 108, 147, 148-149 and 160. The notes on pages 98-99 are of particular interest in that they comment on (and possibly dispute) Santorini's description of the laryngeal cartilages. Also remarkable are the notes on pp. 148-149, which comment on Santorini's description of pulmonary circulation. The notes cite the works of over a dozen medical writers, including Eustachius, Morgagni, Falloppio, Fabricius, Heister, Valverde, Vesalius, Columbo, Cesalpino, Diemerbroeck, Bartholin and Estienne. A few of the notes are dated 1738. The inscription on the inside front cover gives the date of Santorini's death as May 7, 1737 ("die Maij septima A.D. MDCCXXXVII") and states that he died of a periodic intermittent fever ("febre periodica intermittente"). Garrison-Morton 392. .

Garrison-Morton 399.1: "Santorini died before the completion of these anatomical plates which he intended to be his chef d'oeuvre. This elegantly printed volume is the only significant medical book printed by the celebrated Giambattista Bodoni for the Duke of Parma." "All the twenty-one prints of the work are done in a light crayon effect which, however, does not impair the anatomic clarity of the prints, but even brings out well the differences in the tissues. Each plate is accompanied by an outline plate which is marked with reference letters. The seventeen plates by Santorini have a ruled margin at the top and on the side, like the Eustachian plates, but have no signatures of the artists. They were drawn by Giovanni Battista Piazzetta, who made the coppers for Tasso's Gierusalemme Liberata. . . . A woman, Florentia Marcella, engraved Santorini's plates under Santorini's personal supervision. . . . The work belongs to the best of its time. . ., not only as regards the dissections and illustrations, but also as to the very elaborate commentary. The pictures deal with facial muscles, the base of the brain and other parts of the brain, the organs of smell and hearing, the pharynx, the breasts, the heart, the diaphragm with the beginning of the thoracic duct, the stomach, the liver, the intestines, the pancreas, the ileocaecal valve. . ., the bladder, the muscles of the perineum, and the genitals. Covoli's pictures represent the breasts, the tunics of the testicle and a six months' foetus" (Choulant, History and Bibliography of Anatomic Illustration, pp. 263-64). "Santorini was generally acknowledged as the outstanding anatomist of his time. Many corrections and discoveries in the detailed anatomy of the different organs of the human body go back to Santorini. Even today a facial muscle (risorius), a pair of cartilages (cornicula) of the larynx, the emissary veins of the skull, and a part of the superior and inferior turbinates of the ethmoid are named after Santorini" (Hagelin, Rare and Important Medical Books in the Library of Swedish Society of Medicine, pp. 112-13).

"The work belongs to the best of its time (as Haller recognized, II, 715), not only as regards the dissections and illustrations, but also as to the very elaborate commentary. The pictures deal with the facial muscles, the base of the brain and other parts of the brain, the organs of smell and hearing, the pharynx, the breast, the heart, the diaphragm with the beginning of the thoracic duct, the stomach, the liver, the intestines, the pancreas, the ileocecal valve, the bladder, the muscles of the perineum, and the genitals. Covoli's pictures represent the breasts, the tunics of the testicle and a six months' fetus. The first seventeen plates were by Santorini; two of the last four plates belonged to the anatomist Giovanni Battista Covoli. The other two belonged to the editor, Michele Girardi (1731-1797), a professor of anatomy in Parma, who wrote a commentary for Santorini's plates. Al the twenty-one prints of the work are done in a light crayon effect which, however, does not impair the anatomic clarity of the prints, but even brings out well the differences in the tissues. Each plate is accompanied by an outline plate which is marked with reference letters. The seventeen plates by Santorini have a ruled margin at the top and on the side, but have no signatures of the artists. They were drawn by GIOVANNI BATTISTA PIAZZETTA (1682-1754), who made the coppers for Tasso's Gerusalemme liberata, Venezia, 1754." (Choulant & Frank, History and bibliography of anatomic illustration, pp. 262-64). "Santorini died before the completion of these anatomical plates which he intended to be his chef d' oeuvre. This elegantly printed volume is the only significant medical book printed by the celebrated Giambattista Bodoni for the Duke of Parma" (Garrison & Morton, Medical Bibliography, 399.1).
