Medical anatomy 1725-1728 | Frederick Ruysch, several publications of this famous anatomist, all 8 published by Van Waesberghe 1725-1728. With 15 illustrations.

Frederick Ruysch (1638-1731) was a celebrated Dutch anatomist, master embalmer and museologist. He is best remembered today for strange tableaux, crafted from fetal skeletons and other human remains, that flicker provocatively at the edges of science, art, and memento mori. Ruysch exhibited these pieces, along with hundreds of other artful specimens, in his home museum and catalogued them in his lavishly illustrated Thesaurus Anatomicus. His works were sometimes described as “Rembrandts of anatomical preparation”;
