Many of Fallopius' writings which were no longer available in original or single editions in the late sixteenth century were preserved in this first edition of his collected works. Included here are his treatises on tumors, ulcers, syphilis, and Observationes anatomicae from which so many common anatomical terms have been derived. Also among the contents of this volume are commentaries on Galen and Hippocrates, discussions of metals and fossils, notes on pharmacology, and letters to contemporaries.
