  At a time when the European universities were making great strides in anatomical discovery and publications, Santorini was considered by his contemporaries to be one of the greatest anatomists. This work records a number of new anatomical discoveries and corrects many errors of earlier anatomists. Santorini's skill and expertise were so outstanding that his name lives on in a number of anatomical structures, several of which are described in this book. The text is accompanied by three folding copperplates which beautifully illustrate the musculature of the face, the pelvic musculature and genitalia of a sixteen-year old girl with a tubal pregnancy, the external muscles of the ear, and detailed anatomy of the male genitalia and larynx.

  This work, edited by Michael Girardi (1731-1797) and issued thirty-nine years after Santorini's death, contains illustrations of many parts of the human body including the organs of smell and hearing, the pharynx, breasts, heart, stomach, liver, intestines, pancreas, and bladder. Of the twenty-one plates in the book, seventeen were by Santorini. This elegantly printed volume is the only significant medical book printed by the celebrated Giambattista Bodoni for the Duke of Parma.
