first albinus edition of Bartolommeo Eustachi's Tabulae anatomicae, and the first to include outline plates as a learning aid. The engravings of Eustachi's drawings were completed in the mid-16th century but remained unpublished until their rediscovery in the Vatican Library in the early 18th century, when they were presented by Pope Clement XI to his physician, Giovanni Maria Lancisi, who first published them in 1714. Garrison-Morton 391 (original edition, "more accurate than the work of Vesalius"); Choulant-Frank, page 202; Heirs of Hippocrates 326 (this edition).
