Al colophon: Vinegia, appresso Nicol Bevilacqua Trentino. Importante opera dedicata al Re Filippo di Spagna. "Prima edizione italiana".Cfr. Choulant, p. 205: This is an Italian translation made by Anton Tabo.. The plates are mostly copied on a reduced scale and sometimes with added alterations, from the plates in Vesalius' principal work "De corporis humani fabrica" - Bibliotheca Walleriana,I,9800 - Brunet,V,1068 - Olschki,V,5411: "Recherch cause des planches dessines par Gaspar Becerra et graves trs soigneusement par Nicolas Beatrizet de Lorraine" - Palau,VII, p. 105 - Wellcome,I,6476 - Durling,4532."Valverde, soprannominato "Huescanus o ab Huesca" dal nome della sua patria Huesca (nel regno di Leon in Spagna), occupa un posto eminente fra gli anatomisti spagnoli del Cinquecento. Nel 1556 pubblico' una prima edizione spagnola del suo libro "Historia de la composicion del cuerpo humano" (tradotta poi in italiano nel 1560 e in latino nel 1589) che ebbe una grandissima diffusione e fu tra i libri piu' letti e piu' studiati del Rinascimento". Cos Castiglioni Storia della medicina, p. 430.Valverde based his illustrations on Vesalius', although he offered fifteen new ones and improved Vesalius' with copperplates; he aso made more than sixty corrections and additions to Vesalius' work, including the description of stapes of the ear, the short palmar muscle, the human uterus, and in particular the true nature of the cardiac septum. On the basis of experiments performed with Realdo Colombo, Valverde corrected Galen's and Vesalius' idea that blood passed through the septum from the right ventricle to the left, and he gave an accurate and correct description of the pulmonary circuit of the blood. His text ran to thirteen editions and was printed in preference to Vesalius'. (DSB,XIII, p. 569).Frontespizio restaur. al margine infer. bianco per picc. mancanza; tracce d'uso; 1 carta con alone e 1 con macchietta. A parte questi difetti un buon esemplare su carta forte. ‎
