Notes:	The figures, all but 50 printed directly from the original blocks preserved in the library of the University of Munich, are now generally conceded to have been drawn by Jan Stephan van Calcar. (The blocks were destroyed in the bombing of Munich in 1943.) The text (reprinted from the Fabrica, 1555, 1543 and the Epitome, 1543) explains the symbols used in the wood blocks, and therefore forms an index of the illustrations and their symbols. A detailed account of the sources is given in the afterword "Ad lectorem", preceding the colophon. "Haec editio ... ab Academia Medicinae Nova-Eboracensi una cum Bibliotheca Universitatis Monacensis emissa est. Continet omnes figuras ad ornanda Vesalii opera anatomica delineatas et ligno incisas adhibens ligna sculpta magna ex parte integra in Bibliotheca Universitatis Monacensis deposita. Addita est oratio quae in editionibus ipsis Vesalii de Humani corporis fabrica Librorum septem et suorum de Humani corporis fabrica librorum Epitomes ad characteres qui in tabulis sculptis occurrunt explicandos impressa est.
