1715rif. 6535Frankfurt & Heidelberg: Joh. Maximilian. `a Sande 1715. First Edition. Contemporary three-quarter leather. Very good; bright; front joint broken and cover detached. Small 4to 14 2 - blank 199 1 - errata pp. large engraved folding plate composed of two joined sheets. Brunner was a noted 17th century pathologist. This tract brings together two of his most important works. The first contains the discovery of 'Brunner's Glands' and his near discovery of pancreatic diabetes. The second is his monograph on the pituitary body. There is apparently a variant imprint in the same year - there is no priority established. There is also a discrepancy in some listings citing one or two plates. In some copies the sheets with the individual figures are joined making for one large plate with two figures as in this copy; in other copies the sheets are bound individually so that each figure is counted as a separate 'plate' when in fact it is not the case.
