This splendidly produced collection of Spiegel's works edited by Johannes Antonides van der Linden (1609-1664), contains 117 copperplate engravings, many of them of primary importance in the history of medical and anatomical illustration. Of first interest are the plates of Casserio and the twenty plates added by Daniel Bucretius for Spiegel's De humani corporis fabrica (see No. 414). In addition to Spiegel's works, these volumes contain Aselli's De lactibus sive lacteis venis (see No. 453); Harvey's De motu cordis (see No. 416), with a fine version of the plate illustrating the valves of the veins; Johannes Walaeus' (1604-1649) Epistolae duae, de motu chyli & sanguinis; and Linden's De monstrosis vermibus, observatio rara.
