Lot Essay

Sandifort was the pupil of Albinus as well as his successor to the chair of anatomy and surgery at the University of Leiden. His "beautifully illustrated work on pathological anatomy included records of ulcerative aortic endocarditis, renal calculi, herniae, bony ankyloses, and congenital abnormalities. His work is comparable with that of Morgagni" [GM]. Waller does not call for the blank Y2 in volume III, or Z2 (Instructions to Binder) in volume IV, which are present in this copy.
