In these three volumes on anatomy, reproduction, and pathology, respectively, Haller collected various of his shorter writings which were scattered in other works and journals. They represent, with his Icones anatomicae, what he considered to be among his best works. The numerous plates contain his highly exact, clear, and striking representations of anatomical preparations.
