This edition, printed by Johann van Kerckhem, contains a preface by Bernard Siegfried Albinus, the famous eighteenth-century anatomist (see No. 829 ff.). Keynes states that "this form of van Kerckhem's edition is rare, the sheets of the greater part of the issue having been published in 1737 as Part I of the Opera" (Keynes 14).
