The book, as he planned it, contained the most authoritative anatomical prints made during the seventeenth century. Instead of solely focusing on the makeup of the human body as others had done before him, his intentien was to show how the parts of the body related to one another, and made it function. He used the latest technology in microscopic lenses ... and translated what he saw under magnification into folio-sized copperplates, which held more detail than had ever been seen in print before. Martinez started the project in Spain in the early 1680s, and moved to Paris in 1687 where he continued his work. The project was not yet completed when he died in 1694 ... The copper plates for the book appear to have been left in Paris, and two were printed there as a set in 1740. After this date, there are no further records of their whereabouts" (The Metropolitan Museum). - Im Unterrand Trockenstempel der 1797 gegründeten "Chalcographie du Louvre - Musées Nationaux". - Vor allem die breiten Ränder angestaubt, stockfleckig und mit teils hinterlegten Einrissen.
