First Latin edition. - Adaptation of the highly impressive and detailed anatomical plates first published by the Dutch surgeon Govard Bidloo (1649-1713). Bidloo had already published his Anatomia Humani Corporis in Amsterdam in 1685; the illustrations were based on drawings by Gerard de Lairesse (1640-1711). Sales, however, were apparently quite slow, and much to Bidloo's displeasure, Cowper (1666-1709) acquired 300 complete sets of the plates from the publisher. He published these, along with a new text, under a new title and under his own name. His own contribution to the pictorial program consisted only of nine additional plates on myology, which he had drawn by Henry Cook (1642-1700) and engraved by Michiel van der Gucht (1660-1725)..References: Choulant 95 - Wellcome II, 401 - cf.

Leaf B1 signed A2Title page printed in red and blackEngraved title vignetteThe first 105 plates and the added engraved title page, all drawn by Gérard de Lairesse and engraved by Peter and Philip Van Gunst, gave rise to a controversy with Govard Bidloo as to Cowper's use of these plates from Bidloo's 1685 Anatomia humani corporis. The 9 final plates added by Cowper were drawn by Henry Cook and engraved by Michael van der Gucht.
