This book is profusely illustrated with historic symbology, inlcuding over 300 black and white figures and some full-page colored prints From Antiquity to the Middle Ages, then to Leonardo Da Vinci in the Age of Enlightenment; this collection of anatomical art, surgical reference, and scholarly research is unlike any other, and the subjects of this collective work branch out beyond just that of Anatomy, bringing to focus a special interest in botany, and the connection between the identification of plants and the many medical prescriptions of tinctures, extracts, and infusions that medical practictioners were reliant upon throughout the history of the world.
This comes in a protective slip-case as well.
