Dritte lateinische Ausgabe in einem breitrandigen Exemplar. - "Swammerdam's thesis about insects was fundamentally new and significant. For his contemporaries, as for Aristotle, there existed three good arguments that not only placed the insects far from higher animals, but even tended to remove them from the realm of subjects open to scientific study. These arguments were: insects lack internal anatomy; they originate by spontaneous generation; and they develop by metamorphosis. Swammerdam believed that all three arguments were false and devoted a wide variety of investigations to refute these ideas" (DSB). - Stellenweise gering gebräunt, vereinzelt leicht fleckig und angestaubt. Einband leicht fleckig und berieben. Insgesamt gut erhalten. - DSB 13, 168; Nissen ZBI 4053; Horn-Schenkling 21795; Hagen II, 209
