SPIEGEL, Adriaan van de (1578-1625). Opera quae extant omnia. Edited by Johannes vander Linden. Amsterdam: J. Blaeu, 1645.
SPIEGEL, Adriaan van de (1578-1625). Opera quae extant omnia. Edited by Johannes vander Linden. Amsterdam: J. Blaeu, 1645. 2 volumes in one, 2 o (423 x 272 mm). Engraved title, engraved portrait, 116 engraved plates, and one engraved illustration in text. (Some minor mariginal dampstaining.) Contemporary mottled calf, gilt paneling of double fillets, a gilt-crowned monogram in corners, spine in 8 compartments, gilt-lettered orange morocco spine labels in two (slight splitting to joints at spine ends). Provenance : Jourdans (bookplate). FIRST COLLECTED EDITION. Spiegel succeeded Casserio to the chair of anatomy at the University of Padua; his name survives in the terms linea Spigelii (the linea alba on the midline aponeurosis of the abdominal muscles) and lobus caudatus hepatis Spigelii. This collected edition of Spiegel's works, edited by Johannes vander Linden, contains the three published during his lifetime-- Isagogae in Rem Herbariam (1606), De lumbrico lato liber (1618) and De semitertiana (1624)--as well as De Humani Corporis Fabrica Libri X (1627), and De Formatu Foetu (1626), left in manuscript on Spiegel's death. De Formatu Foetu was edited by Spiegel's son-in-law Liberalis Crema, who illustrated the 1626 edition with nine copperplates purchased from Casserio's grandson; these plates, which depict the pregnant uterus, placenta and fetus, are among Odoardo Fialetti's most beautiful anatomical engravings. In the Opera Omnia , vander Linden added to De Formatu Foetu a tenth engraving representing the hymen, a subject rarely illustrated. In addition to the five works by Spiegel, the Opera Omnia contains the texts of Gaspare Aselli's De Lactibus , Johannes de Waal's Epistolae Duae, de Motu Chyli & Sanguinis , vander Linden's De Monstrosis Vermibus, Observatio Rara ; and the fifth printing of William Harvey's De Motu Cordis . The Opera Omnia was the most elaborate work to which Harvey contributed. A portrait, painted when he was seventy-nine, shows Harvey with this edition of Spiegel's works spread open before him. Choulant-Frank, pp. 226-228; Garrison-Morton 61.2; Heirs of Hippocrates 415; Keynes, Harvy, 5; NLM/Krivatsy 11294; Norman 1987; Waller 9124.
