But indeed, although neither JACOPO CARPO, as the most famous men and ornaments of Batavia referring to the Netherlands, Boerhaave and Albinus, have thought (i); nor CARLO STEPHANO, as SCHELHAMMERUS seems to conjecture (k), could obtain the praise of this restoration; and Stollius therefore rightly suspected that there were certain tables even older than those of Carpi (l): yet I would not want to defraud MUNDINUS of his praise, nor to defer all of it to HUNDT, with the very famous Platnerus (m), and Kestnerus (n), who followed him. I provoke as a witness that which is preserved in the most excellent Library of the Magnificent and Most Ample Senate of Leipzig, the Anatomy of Mundinus, amended by Pietro Morisini of Imola, and printed by Ioh. and Gregor. de Gregorio at Venice in the year 1498.

(i) see the preface to the new edition of VESALIUS's Works prefixed by them, where they attribute this glory of restored anatomical iconisms to Jacopo Carpo.

(k) in Additions to the Conringian Introduction Ch. IV. p. 151. and 178. but after him the same was done by the praised Goelicke, l. c. p. 60. But that such icons already existed before Stephanus is sufficiently and more than sufficiently known to those who are not inexperienced in the fates of Anatomy. For Stephanus's book appeared first at Paris in 1545.

(l) in the Medical Learned History p. 410.

(m) loc. cit. concerning Magnus Hundt, as it seems the author of anatomical tables.
