This two volume set contains the illustrations for the Prodromo della grande anatomia (see No. 1100). They depict in fine detail minute dissections as well as microscopic views of anatomy, with particular emphasis on the vascular system. The majority of the engravings were made by Antonio Bernieri and are of the human body. Choulant comments that "this edition is to be preferred to that prepared by Antommarchi, on account of the better arrangement and the more convenient size" (Choulant-Frank, p. 318).
