Garrison-Morton, 5835; Waller, 8543; Becker coll., 327; Norman, 1899. Édition originale. Premier ouvrage important d ophtalmologie publié en Italie, qui permit à Scarpa d être qualifié de « father of Italian Ophthalmology ». « In this work, Scarpa first described the operation of iridodialysis. The chapters on diseases of the vessels in the eye, on cataract, and on staphyloma are particularly noteworthy. Scarpa s books were all superbly illustrated with his own drawings and the plates in this work, engraved by Faustino Anderloni, bear witness to Scarpa s artistic talent. Duke-Elder considered this the greatest work on ophthalmic pathology that had appeared up to its time » (Becker coll.). Déchirure restaurée dans les fonds de 4 feuillets avec légère perte de texte. De la bibliothèque du Dr. Jacques Mawas avec son cachet à froid.
