Compiled posthumously by his son, Timan, Diemerbroeck's important tract on the plague and his anatomy, with its excellent plates and other medical works, are present in this large volume. The engraved title page with its allegorical plague scene and the finely-cut portrait of the author are superb examples of Baroque medical illustration.
