Uniform contemporary green morocco over green mottled boards. Spines with four raised bands, gilt vignettes and black morocco labels with gilt title. Marbled endpapers, speckled edges. = A uniform set of this important anatomical work by a group of the foremost German medical doctors and anatomists, including Samuel Thomas Soemmering (1755-1830), and several others (Weber, Valentin, Henle, Huschke, etc.), in the French translation by the French medical doctor, and translator Antoine Jacques Louis Jourdan (1788-1848).

V published in two parts), with atlases to volumes II and VIII bound in one; volume I was never published, therefore the work is complete.
