Abstract
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”.This abstract is from the Experimental Biology 2019 Meeting.
