Description

Frederik Ruysch and His Thesaurus Anatomicus A Morbid Guide by Joanna Ebenstein is a lavishly illustrated guide to the magnum opus of a renowned seventeenth-century anatomist. The book presents the first English translation of Ruysch's Thesaurus Anatomicus, along with its original illustrations, photographs of specimens, and essays that explore its historical context and significance. Ruysch was a polymath whose work spanned science, art, and religion. His Thesaurus Anatomicus is a testament to his unique blend of skills as an anatomist, embalmer, artist, and collector of human remains. The book's contents offer a fascinating glimpse into the intersection of art, science, and mortality in early modern Europe. This edition includes all the original illustrations from Ruysch's Thesaurus Anatomicus, making it a valuable resource for scholars and anyone interested in the history of anatomy and art.
