The other six plates do not carry modern numbers, but reproduce leaves (of text and illustration) that carry numbers I-VI at the foot. |

$a This is a facsimile of Vesalius's Tabulae Anatomicae Sex (1538), a rare work, of which Stirling-Maxwell thought that 'a small reimpression might be welcome'. This edition consists of 'thirty copies, one on vellum, one on parchment, and twenty-eight on paper'. (The Royal Academy's copy is one of those on paper.) The original woodcuts were published, partly designed and perhaps cut by Jan Steven van Calcar (c.1499-1546). The first three cuts show human veins and arteries; the last three, the human skeleton. For this edition Stirling-Maxwell has added other facsimiles - of a woodcut portrait of Vesalius, also by Jan Steven van Calcar and originally printed in the Epitome of 1543 and elsewhere; of Vesalius's signature, from the facsimile in Burggraeve's Etudes; of a border from Vesalius's Fabrica, 1543 (used here to frame Stirling-Maxwell's title); of a border from Jo. Weigel's Habitus praecipuorum populorum, 1577 (used here to frame Stirling-Maxwell's presentation inscription). |
561 | # | # | $a The first leaf is a 'Presentation Page'. It consists of a facsimile border, within which is inscribed in ink, 'Presented to The Library of The Royal Academy with the compliments of the Editor William Stirling Maxwell 12th January 1875'. |
