De musculis & glandulis observationum specimen. Copenhagen, Matthias Godiche, 1664. Small in-4, half calf granite, decorated spine, title coin, marbled edges (Modern binding in the old taste). Garrison-Morton, no. 576. - Krivatsy, n°11429. Original edition of this important dissertation on the anatomy and functioning of the heart. It is decorated with a beautiful copper-engraved, unsigned frontispiece. Niels Stensen (1638-1686), Danish anatomist known as Nicolas Sténon, was a disciple of Thomas Bartholin in the domus anatomica of Copenhagen.
