Why read it?
1 author picked Cyclopedia Anatomicae as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Gorgeous illustrations abound in this through presentation of the anatomy of human and animal bodies. Practical application, diagrams, charts, text, definitions, and more have made this coffee table size book a go-to reference for me over the years.

From Ron's list on sketching, anatomy and animation for the artist.
