Opera posthuma, in quibus excellentissimi authoris vita continetur, ac pleraque quae ab ipso priùs scripta aut inventa sunt confirmantur, & ab adversariorum objectionibus vindicantur. Quibus praefixa est ejusdem vita a seipso scripta
Opera posthuma is a 1700 Amsterdam medical collection of posthumous works by the anatomist Marcello Malpighi, published by D. Donati and held in the Wellcome Library. Its pictures are engraved anatomical plates with lettered keys, showing microscopic structures such as silk glands, tracheae and organ sections in fine parallel hatching that a designer could borrow for vintage scientific diagrams.
