This work on the bones is one of Galen's more important works. Galen had done little dissection except on animals but he mentions having studied an actual human skeleton in Alexandria. To this work of Galen are added extracts from anatomical works of Vesalius, Dubois, Eustachius, and others in disputation or support of Galen, as well as excerpts from Hippocrates and Celsus. The work was edited by Joannes van Horne (see No. 536).
