Note 1 | Anatomical treatise in five 'books' (abdomen; breast; brains; nerves and veins; muscles; bones); with on pages 13-14 a list of the Latin terms used in the work with their Dutch translation. |
Note 2 | In the note to the reader the author explains that, as an instructor of the surgeons of the City of Antwerp, he had found that if enough had already been published in Dutch and French on 'chirurgia theorica ende practica' a good manual on anatomy was missing. He makes himself clear: many authors had already explained anatomy in illustrated treatises, but without detailing for practical purposes how to cut and 'anatomize' the human body. This Van Mauden now tries, following the works of a man he greatly venerates, Andreas Vesalius, and the observations of Fallopius (Gabriel: 1523-1562, professor at Padua) and Arantius (Julius Caesar: Bologna, 1530-1589), but also giving additional information: even the great Vesalius had not treated in detail parts of the human body as the eye, the tongue, the kidneys, etc. To facilitate the reading of his work, he gives in marginals the letters and numbers used in the illustrated Dutch anatomical treatises issued by Plantin (in 1568: see sub Valverda-Vesalius, no. 2416), so that his printed explanations could be visualized on the plates and compared with the accompanying descriptions in the 1568-publications. |
