Gottingen: A Vandenhoeck, 1780. Second Enlarged Edition.. orig. paste paper bds... A very good copy with some spotty foxing.. sm. 4to. There are 7 eng. fldg. plates.

One of the acknowledged classics of ophthalmology. Zinn was a student of Haller and distinguished himself both in anatomy and botany. The work offered here gives Zinn's description of the zonula of Zinn and the annulus of Zinn and is the first complete description of the anatomy of the eye (see Hirsch). Zinn also correctly identified, described and depicted ' fibrae radiatae'.The illustrations to the text, by Kaltenhofer, mark a new step in anatomical illustration for their true and graphic representation of the anatomy of the eye. An important book. See G - M # 1484; Waller # 10493.
