10 parts in 6 volumes, 2o (329 x 233mm). Text complete, but without the index volume compiled by Antonio Musa Brasavola and published in 1551. 82, 342, 110, 196, 220, 277 (of 278, without final blank), 22, 322, 80, 114 leaves.

Provenance: F. Jachellius (signature ink stamp in each volume).
Second edition of this version of Galen's works. "Galen, a Greek, was the most voluminous of all ancient medical writers and left a vast medical encyclopaedia ... For nearly fifteen hundred years his authority was unassailable and every medical question was automatically referred to him ... The first effective break with Galenism came with Vesalius and Paracelsus; yet Galen's influence on medical practice remained powerful even into the nineteenth century" (PMM 33). The first edition of Galen's works in Latin translation, printed in Venice in 1490, brought together medieval Latin versions that had previously circulated in manuscript; the first edition of the Galenic corpus in Greek was printed by the Aldine press in 1525.
After publishing Latin editions of Galen in 1522 and 1528, the Giunta press decided to a undertake a new edition incorporating revisions or retranslations based on renewed study of the Greek manuscripts. This was first published in 1541-42 and designated by the Giunta their "first edition". It was reprinted in 1550 -- the present "second edition" -- and went through eight more editions by 1625, each with further revisions, entirely new typesetting, and new ornaments and initials. The Giunta edition was the first Latin Galen to incorporate humanistic standards of textual criticism and translation, to distinguish the authentic works of Galen from those attributed to him, and to organize the Galenic corpus according to medical criteria, i.e., with the introductory works preceding those on anatomy and physiology, diagnosis and prognosis, therapeutics and hygiene, and Galen's commentaries on the works of Hippocrates.
Among the many scholars called on to contribute to the Giunta edition was Andreas Vesalius. He edited three works, all printed in the "Prima classis": De neruorum dissectione liber (2nd ed., ff. 53r-55r), De venarum arteriarumque dissectione liber (ff.55v-59v); and De anatomicis administrationibus libri nouem (ff. 63r-105v). The first had been translated by Agostino Gadaldini, the second by Antonius Fortolus, and the third by Vesalius' teacher, Johann Guenther von Andernach. Gadaldino, general editor of the Giunta edition, acknowledged Vesalius's contribution in these terms: "Andreas Vesalius of Brussels, celebrated and distinguished contemporary professor of dissection, ... has presented us with the Dissection of veins, arteries, and nerves, corrected in many places; and finally overcome by our entreaties and arguments as well as by those of his friends, since we pointed out to him that too great a wrong would be committed if, through fear of offending his preceptor Andernach -- for he feared this -- he were to deprive mankind of so great usefulness, he emendated the books On anatomical procedures with such effort that he almost remade them" (C.D. O'Malley, Andreas Vesalius, Berkeley 1964, p.104).
Each part of the present edition employs the same title-page border depicting scenes from the life of Galen that was used in the Giunta edition of 1541-42. In the text, the only illustrations are found in class VII, principally with the Hippocratic treatises De fracturis and De articulis, Galen's De fasciis, and Oribasius' De laqueis and De machinamentis. These treatises were transmitted in the collection attributed to Nicetas and translated into Latin by Guido Guidi (Norman 954); the present edition reprints some of Guidi's texts, and the illustrations, which derive from ancient models, are adapted from the first edition of Guidi's work.
For the Giunta editions of 1541 and 1550, the printer supplied no volume numbers. The corpus was divided into seven classes of works, each with a title page, and there were three additional parts, entitled Isagogici libri (which includes the dedication, table of contents and other preliminaries), Libri extra ordinem classium, and Spurii libri. In the present copy, the three unnumbered parts are bound together (with the spine title "Index"), classes II and III are bound together, and classes VI and VII are bound together.
