Footnotes

A collection of four works by Thomas Bartholin (1616-1680), "the most distinguished physician in Denmark" (DSB). He was one of the first to recognise the importance of Malpighi's work on the lungs, De pulmonibus (1661), and consequently reprinted the work in his own De pulmonum substantia & mortu diatribe, making it their second appearance in Europe. The Cista medica includes a lengthy description of the anatomy theatre at Copenhagen, with a catalogue of the museum.

Provenance: Paul Christian Heilmann, contemporary inscription at foot of engraved title of first work.
