ARCANGELO PICCOLOMINI (1525-1586) In librum Galeni de humoribus, comemtarii [sic]. Apud Bernardum Turrisianum, in Aldina biblioteca 1556 170 ll. 18.1 cm.

Piccolomini was primarily an anatomist of Verona. This work, an extensive exposition of, and commentary on, the natural humors of the body as expounded by Galen, is the sort of work which sustained for so long a belief in Galen's anatomy and physiology. The Greek and Latin texts of Galen are followed by the commentary in Latin.
