Cyclopedia Anatomicae

DESCRIPTION: A book on anatomy, with sections on skeletons, muscles, and movement. In addition to a study of humans, it includes chapters on several animals (horses, dogs, lions, cats, camels, and more), and ends with a section on comparative anatomy.
REVIEW: This is a very large and very thorough anatomy book. It lists more individual muscles than my online medical transcription course even mentions. Many things here I have found nowhere else. A great book for any artist who needs (or wants) an anatomy reference volume for humans and mammals. If you only ever buy one anatomy reference book, this is the one to buy.
