About the work
Curationist Object DescriptionFrench anatomist Charles Estienne was a contemporary of Andreas Vesalius, though Vesalius is considered by some scholars to be more influential due to his criticism of Galenic tradition. Estienne, however, contributed to the discovery of the spinal cavity and the anatomy of the sternum.
Not much is known about the illustrations in this book, as only eleven of the sixty-two woodcut plates bear markings.
