| Summary: | Visual anatomy books have been a staple of medical practice and study since the mid-16th century.

Domenico Bertoloni Meli explores key questions in this domain, opening a new field of inquiry based on the analysis of a rich body of arresting and intellectually challenging images reproduced here both in black and white and in colour. |
