This edition occured in 1760 and was produced in Paris by the printer J‐B Crépy from 10 (on 12) original copper plates of a first edition published in 1668 which were kept by Charles‐Antoine Jombert. The exact title was “Abrégé d'anatomie, accomodé aux arts de peinture et de sculpture” = Abstract of anatomy, adaptated to the arts of painting and carving. It opened on 4 figures of the skeleton, then 7 figures of myology. They were inspired by Vesalius. The judgment of Cushing was: “by common consent the most beautiful reproduction of Vesalius' illustrations ever to be made”. Six of the plates presented a printed text on the reverse side. This work is probably a collaboration between Roger de Piles (1635–1709) and the engraver François Tortebat (1621–1690). It is discussed if this work is the one of Roger de Piles alone, as a note in his “Cours de peinture par principes” (Paris, 1708, p. 153) assessed: “In the past, I have written under a borrowed name (i.e. Abrégé d'Anatomie by Tortebat) an abstract of anatomy adaptated to the arts of painting and and carving”.

Jacques GUILLEMEAU (1550–1612) published several books during his surgical life. He was a brilliant follower of Ambroise Paré and the surgeon of several kings of France. This late edition was a posthumous and complete one, published in the town of Rouen in 1649 by Jean VIRET and printed by Pierre MAILLE. It was an in folio with 863 pages and numerous figures: 32 copper plates = 21 anatomical ones and 11 plates of surgical instruments. There were also 18 wooden plates with foetus in utero and paediatric instruments. The exact title was “ Les oeuvres chirurgicales. Avec les portraicts et figures de toutes les parties du corps humain, & des instruments nécessaires au chirurgien...”. We studied particularly the anatomical part. The obstetrical and paediatrical parts were also famous.This abstract is from the Experimental Biology 2019 Meeting.
