The scientific bookstore Alain BRIEUX owned in 2018, the second edition of the famous treatise of Antonio Maria VALSALVA. The complete title was “De aure humana tractatus, in quo integra auris fabrica, multis novis inventis and iconismis illustrat, describitur..; Quibus interposita est Musculorum uvulae, atque pharingis nova descriptio, et delineatio”. It was published for this edition in Utrecht by vande Water in 1707. It was an in‐quarto of 143 pages with ten plates of illustrations, engraved by H. Lenting. This book described with a great accuracy the structures of the three parts of the ear, and the muscles of the external ear. The two parts of the cochlea are described (vestibular and tympanic one). The eponymic maneuver is described and also the pathological stapedian ankylosis. Valsalva (1666–1721) from Bologna was a follower of Malpighi and a professor of Morgagni. The first edition was printed three years before in Bologna by Constantino Pisari. This abstract is from the Experimental Biology 2019 Meeting.
