Exercitatio Anatomica de Motu Cordis et Sanguinis in Animalibus

No book-club edition exists in the ordinary sense, but two modern issues dominate donated copies and are routinely mistaken for the real thing: the Nonesuch Press limited edition, The Anatomical Exercises of Dr William Harvey... the first English text of 1653, newly edited by Geoffrey Keynes (1928, tercentenary), and later facsimiles/CD-ROM reproductions of the 1628. The 17th-century Leiden, Padua and Rotterdam reprints (e.g. Rotterdam: Arnold Leers, 1648, a small format with Jacobus de Back's Dissertatio) are also common and are later editions, not the first. A 1628 date, the Fitzer Frankfurt imprint, the poor paper and both engraved plates must all be present together.
