DOMENICO DE MARCHETTI (1626-1688) Anatomia. Ex officina Societatis Typographicae 1656 [16] 291 (misnumbered 289) [2] pp. 12.7 cm.

Marchetti was Johann Vesling's (see No. 476) assistant until he succeeded Vesling in the chair of anatomy at Padua in 1649. Son of the well-known Paduan professor and surgeon Pietro de Marchetti (1589-1673), he published the first edition of his Anatomia at Padua in 1652. He was one of the first anatomists in Italy to use the wax injection techniques of Swammerdam and Ruysch. This small book contains his anatomical studies of the complete human body and is without illustrations.
