 | | We should also note, however, that the collection is full of rare, valuable, and often visually stimulating materials--high spots in the history of medicine, most but not all of them with material relating to the study of the kidney. |
 | | Among the early landmark works are fine copies of the first editions of Bartolomeo Eustachi's Opuscula anatomica (Venice, 1564), which contains the first treatise specifically devoted to the kidney, and Marcello Malpighi's De viscerum structura exercitatio (Bologna, 1666), with its famous description of the kidney's glomeruli (sometimes known later as the "Malpighian Bodies"). |
 | | Other titles of more general interest to the history of medicine include Giovanni Borelli's De motu animalium (2 volumes; Rome,1680-81), Giambattista Morgagni's De sedibus et causis morborum (Venice, 1761), and Andreas Vesalius's Opera omnia (Leyden, 1725), with its magnificent series of anatomical engravings based on the sixteenth-century originals. |
