A new edition of the Eustachius plates by Bonn
Eustachius, B. & A. Bonn. De ontleedkundige plaaten van B. Eustachius met eene verklaaring derzelve, vervaardigd onder toezicht van A. Bonn. Amsterdam, Lodewyk van Es, [1798]. Folio (400 x 255 mm). [XII, 92, 2] p.

With 47 numbered anatomical depictions on 41 engraved plates.

Mid 19th century patterned half calico with red sprinkled marbled paper o the boards.
In 1798 Andreas Bonn (1738-1817) finished this new edition of the 47 plates, primilary by Eustachius, and edited in 1744 by Albinus. The are two title issues, another has the imprint of Elwe and is dated 1798. Bonn describes that already Petrus Camper wanted to make a new edition but did not have the time to do it, and also Bonn apologies for waiting so long with it. In his preface and in the descriptions of the plates he has many corrections and additions to the former editions, for which this new Dutch edition has importance and value. The plates on strong bright paper. The last leaf contains errata. STCN gives another number of plates and textleaves for this issue, but is wrong.

-Literature: DMB, 200f; Hirsch I, 71-73.
