Condition: Good. 12mo. 7 x 12.5cm. Full contemporary vellum binding, ivory color. Ribbed spine, decorated with gilt. Frontispiece, [26] , 388 , [3] pp. for the Table of Contents. Engraved frontispiece, showing Jupiter seated on a pedestal, opening an egg to release all creation.Renowned physician and scientist William Harvey is best known for his accurate description of how blood circulates through the body. While his published work on the circulation of blood is considered the most important of his academic life, Harvey also made significant contributions to embryology with the publication of his book Exercitationes de Generatione Animalium in 1651. In this book he established several theories that would set the stage for modern embryology and addressed many embryological issues including conception, embryogenesis, and spontaneous generation. In this famous collection of observations on embryology and generation, Harvey formulates "the first fundamentally new theory of generation since antiquity" by "shifting the focus to the egg itself as the primary generative agent." The fruit of a lifetime of experience, the treatise contradicts traditional Aristotelian views on generation by asserting that all life develops epigenetically, either literally in an egg or according to the analogy of the egg. This principle has had great importance in the history of embryology and led to the search for the mammalian ovum.OOCLC Number / Unique Identifier:560965412.Keynes no. 35.…

Condition: Very Good. Amstelodami [Amsterdam]: Apud Ludovicum Elzevirium, 1650. Tertia editio prioribus auctior & emendatior. Quarto (20cm); 18th-century maroon morocco over marbled paper-covered boards, elaborate gilt spine in six compartments, marbled endpapers; [12],168,191pp. (collated complete, but please see note); woodcut publisher's Minerva emblem on title page, woodcut initials throughout. Some scuffing to extremities with brief exposure at corners, else a Very Good, internally fresh and sound example. The second volume issued with the title page "Appendix, Continens Obiectiones Quintas & Septimas in Renati Des-Cartes Meditationes," Amstelodami: Apud Ludovicum Elzevirium, 1649. The third edition of Descarte's Meditations on First Philosophy, published shortly after his death in February, 1650. The contents include his six Meditations as well as the seven objections from the author's contemporaries, each followed by his response. This copy is a bibliographical peculiarity, the pagination and collation differing from all the other copies described in OCLC, Willems, and Library Hub. The standard pagination for all other copies of this third edition (and the four subsequent Elzevier editions that followed) is: [12],191,164, usually followed by the 88pp. Epistola, with a collational formula: *4 **2 A-Z4 Aa4 a-v4 x2 aa-ll4. This copy is issued without the Epistola and the pagination and collation are otherwise nearly identical, but in a different order: *4 2*2 A-X4 a-v4 x2 Y-2A4. According to the bibliographical listing of the copy at St. Andrew's, "The Elzevirs printed Descartes' philosophical works in quarto format six times between 1644 and 1677, and the parts of each ed. were sold together and separately, in many different combinations." However, this does not explain away the inconsistencies in the pagination or why there are no other examples that conform to this collation. A curious example, worthy of further research. See Willems 1107, describing this as the first edition in quarto format. …
