SECOND EDITION IN ENGLISH, first published in 1698, of this important work with anatomical illustrations, among the best of the 17th-century. "The most elaborate and beautiful of all 17th century English treatises on anatomy and also one of the most extraordinary plagiarismus in the entire history of medicine" (Garrison-Morton-Norman). The work by Cowper is mainly an English translation of Bidloo's work, and is illustrated with copperplates that had been produced for Bidloo. Cowper, for his edition, commissioned nine new plates, which were drawn by Henry Cooke and engraved by Michiel van der Gucht.
