"JOHANNES DRYANDER (ca. 1500-1560). Anatomiae. Marburg: Apud Echarium Ceruicornum, 1537. [72] pp., illus. (woodcuts), fold. table. 20 cm. Full antique calf.
"Dryander (also known as Eichmann), professor of surgery at Marburg, was a friend of Vasalius and was 'among the first amatomists who made illustrations after their own dissections.'
"...His Anatomiaeappeared six years before Vesalius' great work.
"This was the first significant book on the anatomy of the head and contains twenty full-page woodcuts made from Dryander's own dissections. Sixteen of the plates are of the head and brain and were done to show successive stages of dissection. The first eleven plates appeared earlier in his Anatomia Capitis Humani(1536) and the remaining four plates of the chest and lungs were added as an appendix, possibly as models for a second book which was never published.
"This work also contains a brief tract on the anatomy of the pig traditionally attributed to Copho (ca. 1110), an early teacher at Salerno, and a short essay by Gabriele de Zerbis (1445-1505), professor at Padua, on the anatomy of the fetus."
