This second edition was actually preceded by two earlier printings of the book. The first at Padua in 1641 and the second, also at Padua, in 1647. It would seem that the present work is listed as a second edition because it is only the second printing to contain illustrations. There are twenty-four copperplates in the book as well as a finely engraved title page depicting the anatomical theater at Padua. The work proved to be very popular and was translated into German, Dutch, and English.
